description: Charlotte the Harlot. Nasty Nick. The Coughing Major. The age of reality TV has spawned an ever-expanding roster of colorful personalities. Admired celebrity columnist Hermione Eyre and Kit Bryson, author of Brewer's Rogues , V illains and Eccentrics , provide a witty, irreverent tour of today's celebrity culture--from the Spice Girls' Emma Bunton to Pop Idol's Simon Cowell. Eyre and Bryson also offer hilarious entries on historical figures-- such as Lady Godiva and Cleopatra -- who "paved the way" for today's pop icons, as well as articles on such phenomena as "celebrity air rage," and examinations of key celebrity issues like "cracking the American market."
