- Description
- Description
- The reformed Paris Hilton drenched herself in champagne at a yacht party. Lindsay Lohan's mother visited her in rehab. Mark Wahlberg picked up his son from karate class. The paparazzi bring us these details daily in glossy, sometimes shaky photos. It's big business. A revealing or embarrassing photo is a solid paycheck to someone. When celebrities party, people get rich. If they have a drug problem — even richer. Even the death of a star can mean profit for a paparazzo. As the frenzy for celebrity gossip grows, the stories get more and more outlandish. Journalist and commentator Carl Hiaasen wrote a fictional book on the matter and the absurdity of it all. He joins us.
