When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy is a humorous-yet brutally honest-tell-all from a reformed National Enquirer bad boy who exposed celebrities' private lives while harboring deeply personal secrets of his own. Discover what inspired author William Keck to infiltrate the off-limits realms of the Hollywood icons he grew up idolizing, and the invaluable life lessons learned along the way that ultimately guided him to protect and befriend the celebrities he'd once wronged. Filled with original celebrity-penned essays and over 150 photographs illustrating the author's decades of celebrity exposés and encounters. In the book, Keck openly discusses both the famous and infamous who feared or hated him, and those who transitioned to admiration or friendship. Drawing from his three decades working as an entertainment reporter, Keck confesses ALL about his most memorable celebrity encounters that (for one reason or another) went horribly wrong. Far more than a shocking admission of past sins, When You Step Upon A Star chronicles the repentant author's own evolution from a lonely only child obsessed with Hollywood stars, to an eager tabloid snoop keeping personal secrets of his own, to a well-respected journalist who ultimately learns from his mistakes, changes his wicked ways and befriends the celebrities he'd once wronged.
