The Hollywood Book of Breakups

Watching Ben Affleck and J. Lo was certainly more entertaining than watching Gigli, and the only thing more poorly plotted than Halle Berry's love life is her acting career.  And could any of Elizabeth Taylor's movies match her on and off relationship with Richard Burton for drama? Throughout it's sparkling and sordid history, what goes on in Hollywood has always been more interesting than what comes out of it.  In his lively and informative, The Hollywood Book of Breakups, James Robert Parish looks at scores of headline grabbing hot hollywood romances that eventually fell apart. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, we miss you! Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, there was a times we thought you'd last forever.  Liza Minnelli and David Gest?  Seriously, who were they kidding? Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett?  Or was that just a dream? Covering the big flames and flame-outs from various eras, this guilty pleasure will find a happy home on nightstands of cinephiles everywhere
