Noted journalist Gail Collins pulls together this immensely appealing book, with one intriguing piece of rumor and innuendo following another in a veritable parade of peccadilloes and misdeeds. With anecdotes and illustrations from politics, movies, TV, culture, and sports, "Scorpion Tongues" offers sinful scandals and mild hearsay for every taste.

"The timing is perfect. Today there's a journalistic feeding frenzy every time a new scandal pops up--especially a political scandal--and, lo and behold, Gail Collins has written a lively, informative history of gossip in which she assesses a celebrity culture gone haywire."

Patricia Bosworth, New York Times, 04/15/1998

"Like pornography, 'Scorpion Tongues' doesn't really need to be perused in a linear fashion to entertain; open it at any page and you can savor a juicy tidbit."

Diana Postlethwaite, Nation, 05/11/1998
