"Wholly riveting."--New York Times Book Review"Justine Bateman was famous before selfies replaced autographs, and bags of fan mail gave way to Twitter shitstorms. And here's the good news: she took notes along the way. Justine steps through the looking glass of her own celebrity, shatters it, and pieces together, beyond the shards and splinters, a reflection of her true self. The transformation is breathtaking. Revelatory and raucous, fascinating and frightening, Fame is a hell of a ride."--Michael J. Fox, actor, author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future"In a new book, Fame: The Hijacking of Reality, the two-time Emmy nominee takes a raw look at the culture of celebrity, reflecting on her stardom at its dizzying peak--and the 'disconcerting' feeling as it began to fade."--People MagazineA Book Soup (Los Angeles, CA) best seller, October 15–21, 2018"As the title Fame: The Hijacking of Reality more than implies, this is a book about the complicated aspects of all things fame."--Vanity Fair"Bateman digs into the out-of-control nature of being famous, its psychological aftermath and why we all can't get enough of it."--New York Post"The Family Ties alum has written the rawest, bleakest book on fame you're ever likely to read. Bateman's close-up of the celeb experience features vivid encounters with misogyny, painful meditations on aging in Hollywood, and no shortage of theses on social media's wrath."--Entertainment Weekly"Bateman addresses the reader directly, pouring out her thoughts in a rapid-fire, conversational style. (Hunter S. Thompson is saluted in the acknowledgments.)...But her jittery delivery suits the material--the manic sugar high of celebrity and its inevitable crash. Bateman takes the reader through her entire fame cycle, from TV megastar, whose first movie role was alongside Julia Roberts, to her quieter life today as a filmmaker. She is as relentless with herself as she is with others."--Washington Post"While Bateman's new book Fame: The Hijacking of Reality (out now) touches on the former teen starlet's experience in the public eye, it's not a memoir. Far from it, in fact--it's instead an intense meditation on the nature of fame, and a glimpse into the repercussions it has on both the individual experiencing it and the society that keeps the concept alive."--Entertainment Weekly"Bateman takes an unsentimental look at the nature of celebrity worship in her first book, Fame: The Hijacking of Reality."--LA WeeklyEntertainment shows, magazines, websites, and other channels continuously report the latest sightings, heartbreaks, and triumphs of the famous to a seemingly insatiable public. Millions of people go to enormous lengths to achieve Fame. Fame is woven into our lives in ways that may have been unimaginable in years past.And yet, is Fame even real? Contrary to tangible realities, Fame is one of those "realities" that we, as a society, have made. Why is that and what is it about Fame that drives us to spend so much time, money, and focus to create the framework that maintains its health?Mining decades of experience, writer, director, producer, and actress Justine Bateman writes a visceral, intimate look at the experience of Fame. Combining the internal reality-shift of the famous, theories on the public's behavior at each stage of a famous person's career, and the experiences of other famous performers, Bateman takes the reader inside and outside the emotions of Fame. The book includes twenty-four color photographs to highlight her analysis.

I've always found the subject of fame fascinating, but I think this book killed it. I read this book in one sitting, although to be honest I started skimming the pages soon after I started because of the deadening repetition. The book is at its most interesting when the author relates specific experiences or brushes she and other famous friends have had dealing with fame. That part is sadly minimal. She says in the book she recorded hours and hours of interviews with famous people talking about their experiences but not much of that seemed to make it into the book. The vast, vast bulk of the book is a lesson in how to say the same thing over and over and over and over ...a thousand slightly different ways. To call it repetitive (did I mention it is repetitive?) is a massive understatement. (I’m sorry, Justine, but on page 117 you say you are all about the truth.) And Justine IS truthful, to a very painful degree - both to herself and this reader. I felt like a therapist she was unloading her baggage on. And so much baggage! Steamer trunks! A therapist is usually paid to endure to this stuff. This would have made an ok medium-sized article, or at most a 30-page book, not a 200-page book. Look - I’ve enjoyed watching some of Justine Bateman’s online videos, particularly the chat about this book she had on facebook with Mark Malkoff. She is smart, interesting, witty and probably a fun person to know. But this book was such a chore to get through. It’s rambling and oh-so-repetitive (did I mention that?). The writing style itself also doesn’t help. She says at the end “The emotional time travel is done. I’m glad I worked all that out with you.” It was exhausting for the both of us, Justine. There were some great nuggets about specific experiences with fans and fame, and even good insight buried in the book but it could all have been said in far fewer words. By page 30, we get it. The ending picked up because it gave some good and different insight into POST-Fame. Otherwise it was a repetitive gush meant for a therapist somewhere, really. (Maybe it SHOULD have been a memoir )
