Toxic: Women, Fame, and the Tabloid 2000s

Focuses on nine women who became megastars in the late 1990s and early aughts, when the details of their intimate lives became increasingly available as the power of the internet mushroomed. Some (Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse) were largely victims, while others (Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton) learned how to use the New Normal for their own benefit. Most of the biographical information is already well known, and the author's insights aren't particularly novel. But I discovered two more reasons to be mad at the patriarchy in the tragic stories of professional wrestling star Chyna, and singer/actress Aaliyah.
