‘When You Step Upon a Star’ Chronicles Former Tabloid Writer’s Run-Ins With Kelsey Grammer, Bruce Willis, the ‘Desperate Housewives’ Stars and Many More
Journalist William Keck shares run-ins with Kelsey Grammer, Bruce Willis, Desperate Housewives stars and more in his book 'When You Step Upon a Star.'
You could take the boy out of the tabloid, but plenty of his wild tales in “When You Step Upon a Star” — such as joining the paparazzi for a high-speed chase of Britney Spears, being threatened by Bruce Willis and landing on Scientology’s “suppressives” list — happened while he was stationed at those more reputable outlets as well. In the back of his mind, Keck says he always wanted to write a book about his experiences from the days when “I stepped over the bounds, and I pissed off the publicists and actors, and I found myself apologizing and getting in too deep.” He had saved every Enquirer notebook, as well as all of his articles from various publications and even all of his tape recorded interviews with celebrities (including many who are now long dead). That includes Christopher Knight (“The Brady Bunch”), Melissa Gilbert (“Little House on the Prairie”), Cybill Shepherd (“Moonlighting”), “Lost” showrunner Carlton Cuse, “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry and one of its stars, Marcia Cross.
