MEDIA BUZZ
Lurid Scandals Never Die
Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince
Blood Moon proudly defines Media Buzz as Volume 12 in its Magnolia House Series
For more than twenty years, through her magazine and her radio program, Anita Finley and Darwin Porter woke up South Florida. She had established a popular monthly magazine for senior citizens, and shortly before she met Darwin, she had arranged a distribution deal with The Miami Herald.
Her magazine (Senior Life & Boomer Times) focused on articles intended to help seniors lead happier, healthier lives, often with an emphasis on current trends in Show Biz, Politics, Entertainment, and the Arts.
Thanks to a career pursuing celebrity gossip, THE IRONIES OF FAME were subjects which Darwin understood and wrote about frequently. STARS (through the collaboration of Darwin with Anita) WERE SUDDENLY BORN.
This book represents (amplified) repeat performances of the best of their columns and conversations. We've updated and replicated them here as a nostalgic reminder of THE WAY WE WERE. Happy reading. May your memories burn bright.

About the Author:
“Darwin Porter is the master of guilty pleasures. There is nothing like reading him for passing the hours. He is the Nietzsche of Naughtiness, the Goethe of Gossip, the Proust of Pop Culture. Porter knows all the nasty buzz anyone has ever heard whispered in dark bars, dim alleys, and confessional booths. And lovingly, precisely, and in as straightforward a manner as an oncoming train, his prose whacks you between the eyes with the greatest gossip since Kenneth Anger. Some would say better than Anger.” (as quoted from Alan W. Petrucelli’s THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT at Examiner.com).
Porter began his career writing about politics and the entertainment industry for Knight Newspapers and The Miami Herald. Today, he’s one of the most prolific biographers in the world. His portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Howard Hughes, John and Jackie Kennedy, Paul Newman, Merv Griffin, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and Michael Jackson have generated widespread reviews and animated radio and blogsite commentaries worldwide. Some of his biographies have been serialized to millions of readers in The Sunday Times of London and The Mail on Sunday.
Porter is also the well-known original author of many editions of The Frommer Guides, a respected travel guidebook series that’s among the most prominent and well-respected in the world.
