About this title

Synopsis

'Ryan Is Ready For You Now...' is a revealing memoir of Lisa's long career in celebrity journalism, covering the entertainment industry in the UK and Hollywood. The book takes the reader behind the showbiz curtain in a way never done before. You will learn why Lisa sang 'Sunset Boulevard' at Hugh Jackman, stole Josh Brolin's cigarettes, shared snacks with Scarlett Johansson and fumed at Bruce Willis' late arrival to a movie set in New Orleans. Along the way the author recalls her early days as a cub reporter on a local paper before going on to launch magazines in London, eventually heading to Los Angeles in 2007 to cover the entertainment industry for the Guardian, Scotsman, Australian Telegraph/Herald Sun and others. Aspiring celebrity journalists will pick up some useful nuggets along the way as Lisa deconstructs the process of interviewing a celebrity step-by-step. Every chapter uniquely relates to the process of interviewing a famous face, including the answer to the question, why are you there in the first place? Lisa also covers the importance of research, how to ask a killer question, the significance of the first few seconds of the interview, working against the clock and what to do when it all goes wrong. She also examines the many ways you might be expected to interview a celebrity including at roundtables, press conferences, red carpets, phoners, Zoom, on camera and photographic shoot days. Running through the book is Lisa's ultimate goal to interview Canadian eye-candy and esteemed Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling, the one name that sends a flush of excitement through the veins of all humans regardless of race, age or gender. Other Ryans - Reynolds and Phillippe - will simply just not do.Star spotters won't be disappointed as the roll call of famous names who make an appearance include Daniel Craig, Drew Barrymore, Chris Hemsworth, Matthew McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Harrison Ford, Adrien Brody, Dame Julie Andrews, Betty White, Steve Carell, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Jeff Goldblum, Jamie Foxx, Orlando Bloom, William Shatner, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, and the Kardashians. No question is left unanswered, no interview left to languish and most importantly, no Danish pastry in hospitality is left uneaten. Ryan is ready. Are you?
