Secrets of a Tabloid Reporter...My Twenty Years on the National Enquirer's Hollywood Beat - Softcover
Synopsis
The hilarious adventures of a real-live National Enquirer Senior Reporter as she met the huge challenges of covering the world's biggest stories, about the world's most famous celebrities, for the world's mightiest tabloid newspaper.
Here are one girl reporter's bold antics and escapades in glamorous locations around the world, with fabulous stars like Frank Sinatra, Richard Burton, Burt Reynolds and a galaxy more. Sternig answers for the first time, the two questions most-asked of her during her two decades as an Enquirer staffer in Hollywood: Is any of that stuff true? (and) How do you get that stuff? What results is a fascinating, engrossing, and very entertaining first-ever peek into how those tabloids really work and what the stars are really like.
Actress Liz Sheridan, who played Jerry Seinfeld's mom on "Seinfeld" (and herself the author of "Dizzy & Jimmy") said..."I tried to put this damn book down and couldn't."

About the Author
Barbara Sternig did her first celebrity interview at age 14, grilling her favorite Chicago rock and roll DJ for her high school newspaper. But she'd already known the media were for her since age 10, when she began writing for her 5th grade class magazine. After gaining her journalism degree, Sternig embarked on her career at WCFL Radio in Chicago, where she wrote & produced commercials, mingled with the music greats of her youth, and got thoroughly hooked on the fun of celebrities. When her disk jockey boyfriend broke her heart, she headed as far away as she could get, which just happened to be Hollywood. Here Sternig landed up as writer/producer and legwoman for TV Gossip Queen Rona Barrett, also ghosting Barrett's byline fan magazine column, and along the way, developing a precious bookful of Tinseltown connections. These she brought to the Enquirer's Hollywood bureau, and took like a duck to water to the paper's seat-of-the-pants, no-expense-spared, very iconoclastic style of reporting. She circled the globe several times in pursuit of front page celebrity news, and was eventually dubbed "Champagne Babs" by her colleagues, because of her penchant for drinking champagne in Hollywood night spots whilst prying information from her confidential sources.
Since leaving the Enquirer, Sternig has been a regular free-lance contributor to a range of celebrity-oriented publications, has co-hosted a travel and dining radio show, and appears occasionally as a correspondent on E! True Hollywood Story. She is divorced and lives in Los Angeles.
