The executive editor of People magazine provides an unfiltered and hilarious look at her life alongside the rich and famous as she reveals how being a fangirl led to celebrity close encounters she could only dream of growing up. From the NY Post's "Page Six" to Good Housekeeping and now People, Kate Coyne has spent years on the front lines of the entertainment industry, feeding our insatiable appetite for celebrity news and gossip. I'm Your Biggest Fan chronicles her journey from red-carpet reporter to upper-level editor and the countless surreal, surprising, and awkward interactions she had with stars along the way. Featuring A-listers such as Michael Douglas (who warned her about tabloid reporting), Tom Cruise (whose behavior will surprise you), and Tom Hanks (who, yes, is wonderful), Coyne's stories reveal insights about pop culture's biggest icons - and the journalist who has followed their every move.

A fun entertaining read authored by celebrity journalist Kate Coyne, a high profile editor for People Magazine. Coyne takes readers behind the scenes of exciting high pressure writing, interviewing, and production of front cover page and articles of celebrity profile and news.Encouraged by her parents who were involved in acting and theatrical production, Coyne was 11 years old when she encountered Robert Downey JR and got her first celebrity autograph. George Michael was her next celebrity crush to give her his autograph. The methods to remain calm and avoid gushing when around the rich and famous were always challenging, and she has spent years working on her approach and interviewing skills. Coyne explained the "write around story" a popular technique to write a feature story using quotes, insights, and information from a source related or connected in some way to a celebrity.The difficulty in getting a direct celebrity interview wasn't easy, yet Coyne gave the inside stories from her interviews with Kathie Lee Gifford; (Helped Save Her Soul), Jennifer Lopez: (Loved her Mother), Mariska Hargitay; (Thought She was a Stalker), Wynonna Judd; (Made Her Eat, Pray, and Love), Tom Cruise (Is Going To Marry Her Someday): George Michael: (Is Her Absolute Favorite), Kate Gosselin: (Turned Her Into A Sidekick)... and more.From "Page Six", Coyne accepted a position working with her celebrated mentor Ellen Levine at Good Housekeeping, which was a "good wholesome" magazine with its "seal of approval" and a clever way for celebrities recovering from scandal to improve their creditability and public image. In the past celebrities were recognized for acting, or others talent and a host of musical, artistic, or creative skills.
