Book Description

Red Carpet Confidential A Novel by Toni Senecal Have you ever wondered what really happens on the Red Carpet? What the stars are like when the cameras aren't rolling? How the reporters manage to thread their way through the publicists, paparazzi, and legions of screaming fans to get that big interview? Veteran New York entertainment reporter Toni Senecal takes us there in her exciting debut novel, Red Carpet Confidential. In a fictional tell-all (that sometimes bears a remarkable resemblance to Senecal's life and career), reporter Tina Serrano strives to make her way (and not lose herself) in a world of vicious celebrity rumors, off-camera backstabbing, and high-speed showbiz politics. Will she survive the gauntlet to find her true calling, and her true love, among the gossip and lies? Praise for Red Carpet Confidential "Toni Senecal pierces through the pseudo-glamour of show biz journalism with wit and wisdom. Her debut novel is an absorbing, eye opening, and breezily entertaining journey through Hollywood's amusing absurdities. It should be a movie!" -Michael Musto, celebrity and gossip columnist, The Village Voice; author, Manhattan on the Rocks "If you think only the devil wore Prada, think again. Red Carpet Confidential is a story told from in front of the velvet rope and shows you the world of celebrity from a completely different angle and it doesn't look anything like it does through the lens. Senecal exposes the dirt under the red carpet in this very humorous and self-deprecating debut novel." -Jonathan Soroff, society columnist, The Improper Bostonian "A priceless behind the scenes look at the celebrity soaked world of red carpets from one of New York's most popular entertainment reporters. Red Carpet Confidential cleverly exposes what the fans at home never see on TV. Warning: You'll never watch entertainment news the same way after reading Toni Senecal's engaging and thoroughly entertaining debut novel." -Patrick McMullan, leading celebrity photographer (New York, Details, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue) and contributing editor, Vanity Fair
