Following the split, Lewis became an occasional contributor of gossip to the Hollywood Reporter and in 1996 published The Private Lives of the Three Tenors, a quickie biography of Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti gushing with tales of the singers' amorous adventures. Her publisher, Steven Schragis of Birch Lane Press, says Lewis recommended that the book's publicity notes include this teaser: "How did the author, a glamorous Beverly Hills writer formerly with the Hollywood Reporter, get all the inside dope?
