For over 20 years, Michael Musto ("the Hunter S. Thompson of
snark") has written the popular entertainment column La
Dolce Musto. The outrageous weekly column has pioneered gay
issues in celebrity news and politics and has long been a
mainstay of pop culture as well as a cutting edge chronicle
of the hip and hopeful.
In this fabulous collection, Musto includes a sampling of
his star romps, from a hilarious column describing his night
out with the Kids in the Hall to a scathing catch-up session
with onetime Fellini beauty Anita Ekberg. Along the way,
celebs like Sandra Bernhard, Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, and
Anderson Cooper provide much juice and dazzle. Also included
are biggies, from Brad Pitt to the Hiltons. The first openly gay gossip columnist, Musto encouraged
closeted celebrities to come out for years before it became
okay to address performers' sexuality in the daily columns.
He was reviled, called a "gay Nazi" by Rosie O'Donnell, but
ultimately vindicated. Included are his views against
then-closeted Rosie, and Ellen DeGeneres.
