Episode description
Author William Keck joined us for An Author’s Afternoon in The Locher Room to tell us about his new book, "When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy”
William began his career working for TV titan Aaron Spelling and as an NBC and CBS studio page before turning his focus to journalism and television production. He has worked as a staff reporter for the National Enquirer and USA Today, a senior editor and columnist for TV Guide, a regular contributor to People, Us Weekly, Closer Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, and so much more.
In the book, William draws from his three decades working as an entertainment reporter. He 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, the book 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.
Hear these stories firsthand from William and read them on the pages of William’s book.
