A wry and witty look at celebrity life through the febrile imagination of one of our most celebrated and best-loved actors. This sumptuously illustrated book from actress and author Maureen Lipman presents a dizzying array of celebrity/animal paranomasia, Greek for 'mash-up'. All created with the aid of a fertile mind, a keen sense of humour and, oh yes, her trusty iPad. Here you will meet Brad Pitbull and Ange-lemur Jolie; Johnny Deppard and Jake Gorillanhall; Lu-seal Ball and Andy Warthog; Joan Crow-ford and Vanessie Redgrave, among many others. The idea for this book came from Lipman's doodle of a steer in a dinner jacket, to which she gave a green carnation and named Oscar Wildebeest. After this breakthrough moment, Maureen became obsessive, boring friends and family with her latest creation. When she woke at 3 a.m. and said out loud, 'Tuna Stubbs!', the die was cast. A book was born.
