My unrequited love, John Kite, has scored an unexpected Number One album, then exploded into a Booze And Drugs HellTM ‘“ as rockstars do. And my new best friend ‘“ the maverick feminist Suzanne Banks, of The Branks ‘“ has amazing hair, but writer’™s block and a rampant pill problem. So I’™ve decided I should become a Fame Doctor. I’™m going to use my new monthly column for The Face to write about every ridiculous, surreal, amazing aspect of a million people knowing your name.But when my two-night-stand with edgy comedian Jerry Sharp goes wrong, people start to know my name for all the wrong reasons. ‘˜He’™s a vampire. He destroys bright young girls. Also, he’™s a total dick’™ Suzanne warned me. But by that point, I’™d already had sex with him. Bad sex. Now I’™m one of the girls he’™s trying to destroy. He needs to be stopped.
