GIVEAWAY ENDED
THE STARLET
THE STARLET
BY MACY McNAMARA
ABOUT THE BOOK:
It's a not-so-well-respected rule in Hollywood that what happens on location stays on location. But when a hot young leading man winds up dead in his Rome hotel room, his costar's life is about to go off the rails in a very public way—even by celeb standards.
It's a not-so-well-respected rule in Hollywood that what happens on location stays on location. But when a hot young leading man winds up dead in his Rome hotel room, his costar's life is about to go off the rails in a very public way—even by celeb standards.
At the tender age of twenty-three, Mercy Talbot has won an Oscar, battled addiction, wrecked more than her share of cars, and burned down her house. Her look-alike mother keeps her on a tight leash (and fueled with an endless supply of OxyContin and cocaine) and her producers demand a grueling schedule. By the time she stumbles across Juliette Greyson, a Hollywood insider on a much-needed vacation, Mercy is surrounded by photographers and about to emerge drunk, high, and naked from a public fountain. Whisking her away to an idyllic Tuscan 'retreat,' Juliette is about to discover another rule of Hollywood: wherever the starlet may go, the drama will follow.

I would like to see what happens next. I would like to read the book.

I don't know. I have seen both Interception and The Social Network. Even though they were both well acted, they each had their flaws.(Interception reminded me of what dreams may come, and I had some real questions about the social network. A broke, poor, struggling student at Harvard, yea right.I have alot of issues with the movie) I am just not that excited about the movies up for the oscars this year. I guess if I was going on acting alone,I would choose The social network.

At first I must admit that I didn’t know if this book would appeal to me; however, after reading what Publisher Weekly stated about her first crime novel: “Agatha Christie meets Hollywood Squares in journalist McNamara's glitzy debut, a crime novel set in and around Los Angeles during the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards” … I am hooked! Agatha Christie and Crime goes together like Peanut Butter and Jelly! I love crime novels, Agatha Christie, Peanut Butter, and Jelly … who knows I may love Mary McNamara’s latest novel as well. I will tip toe and mysteriously drop my name in your fedora for this contest.

This fascinating book sounds unique and would be a pleasure to read. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
The only movie that I would see and nominate would be True Grit. But rarely movies are good enough to deserve to be a winner. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com

I entered Rumors. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
My first reaction was no, it is more stuff about Hollywood. I usually change channels when the gossip stuff is on TV. But then I read that a murder victim had turned up and I perked up!

I haven't seen any of the movies yet and probably won't until they finally arrive on TV. I did watch the Golden Globe Awards and the clips for the nominated movies.
The one that I would most like to see is 'The King's Speech'.
Roger Ebert (my favorite movie critic) is a four star movie, rich in historical detail and psychological tension.

I haven't watched many movies lately. I watched Despicable Me the other night, and maybe it would win something in animation (I know, the awards are over!). I saw Harry Potter in the theater, the only movie we went to the theater for last year, but those movies don't usually win many awards either!

I'm not a big movie-goer (I'm a cheap-skate and think movie tickets are way too expensive!) So, I haven't seen any movies lately to make any predictions.
