Though a tabloid can be leafed through inconspicuously at CVS while your boyfriend’s back is turned, a book requires the courage to face the cashier and acknowledge, “Yes, I care enough about Paris Hilton’s life to pay $22.00 for her ghost-written autobiography.” It’s difficult to take a celebrity’s life seriously when it’s printed in the National Enquirer...
