Notorious : portraits of stars from Hollywood, fashion, culture, and tech / Maureen Dowd.

Dowd, Maureen, (author.).

Summary:

"Shining a white-hot spotlight on America's famous, from Hollywood legends to Broadway stars to media moguls, Notorious is a captivating assortment of Maureen Dowd's most compelling style features and profiles. Using her signature wit and incisive commentary as a scalpel, Dowd dissects influential cultural elites. Notorious is the perfect antidote to our current political malaise and an intimate, gossipy romp through the culture of celebrity from a legend in American journalism."-- Provided by publisher.
