Book description
Piers has got a new job. He's off to America to be the 'Nasty Brit'
judging the show America's Got Talent - surely a role he was
made for? And with unprecedented access to people, places and parties
on both sides of the pond, he'll get the inside scoop on the world of
celebrity Stateside. So what could possibly go wrong?
Well, it's not all plain sailing. Piers finds himself snubbed by the
paparazzi and subjected to national ridicule by Alan Sugar. As well as
foolishly embarking on a visit to the Playboy Mansion with his
girlfriend he also becomes one of the only people to fall off the
'idiot-proof' Segway (George Bush fell off one too).
Somehow though, Piers still manages to get invited to all the best
parties. Perhaps because he keeps being mistaken for David Cameron?
From chinwags with Naomi Campbell to a cigar-smoking session with
Arnold Schwarzenegger; hilarious tête-à -têtes with everyone from
Boris Johnson to Cheryl Cole; and many bizarre encounters with the
likes of Paris Hilton, Tony Blair and Jay-Z, Piers is his usual
candid, honest, loudmouth self as he lifts the lid on Tinsel Town.
With the background cries of 'Please don't embarrass us Dad!' from
his sons, the Big Mouth Brit embarks on his hilarious American
adventure, and suffers just a few mishaps along the way.
