NORTHRIDGE, Calif., April 26, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Get ready to plunge deep into the juice behind the juicy tidbits of tabloid journalism in Vickie Rubinson's new book, a comical memoir, entitled Sorry Your Name's not on the List. From St. Christopher Prep School in the San Fernando Valley to the frenzied offices of Private Eye Magazine in Beverly Hills, Sorry Your Name's not on the List is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of tabloid journalism and what it takes to get the big story!
Sorry Your Name's not on the List is the true story of a Southern California Valley girl who found her way to a tabloid writing career after a typical Jewish upbringing -- if you count attending a Catholic school and partying on Friday nights as keeping kosher.
From hunting down Roseanne Barr's ex-husband Tom Arnold at a Century City drug rehab center to outsmarting Priscilla Presley's Dobermans on a story stake-out, Sorry Your Name's not on the List is a truthful and humorous account of one female reporter's life behind the scenes of a world not too many people are even aware of. From schmoozing with mysterious Saudi sheiks to dining with Arnold Schwarzenegger's gang at night, Sorry Your Name's not on the List takes readers into the arena of celebrity journalism.
