Glosslip Exclusive: Author Ian Halperin To Appear On Geraldo Rivera To Discuss New Britney Spears Biography
NYT bestselling author Ian Halperin will be appearing this Sunday on Fox between 10:00 - 11:00 to discuss his new Britney Spears biography we reported on last week. Halperin, while writing his Hollywood Undercover book, posed as a member of the paparazzi and joined the ongoing convoy of photographers who stalked and reported Britney's every move during her most public spiral over the last 18 months.
When I spoke to Ian, I voiced my concern with the perception people seemed to have about the timing of the book and his own involvement in this "Stalking Britney Spears: Under Siege With Britney Spears" experience. We discussed the nature of the book and what his overall assertions would be about the struggling pop-star. Glosslip's own fabulous writer "k" painstakingly chronicled the excessive media blitz surrounding Britney as she lost custody of her two sons, appeared to slip deeper and deeper into a mental quagmire and was surrounding herself with the most unsavory of characters.
Halperin, who specializes in undercover exposes assured me that while he was privy to many of the public and private foibles of Ms. Spears, in his view, he always saw her as a sympathetic figure who was being horribly taken advantage of by those charged with her care. Fortunately, Britney's family, led by father Jamie Spears, stepped in and have taken control of Britney's life, helping steer her back on track. Here's the exclusive scoop from Halperin about his Geraldo appearance:
I'll be appearing on Geraldo Sunday night (June 22) on Fox, between 10-11pm. Despite some negativity I wanna make clear how my book is a sympathetic portrayal of Britney. Her handlers and leeches around her are the folks I expose. In fact, most letters I've received are more positive than anything else, saying it's time a book about the whole situation came out. His Highness Ian Halperin is back undercover, this time as a paparazzo. The NY Times bestselling author promises it will be his most compelling book yet. And Glosslip will be there with all the exclusive info.Continued on the next page
