About this product
Product Information
Drawing on more than twenty years of interviews, anecdotes, and personal experiences, Uninvited: Confessions of a Hollywood Party Crasher recounts the unique journey of a former Los Angeles Times reporter who, struggling with the collapse of his industry and personal tragedies, falls in with a group of intrepid gatecrashers who routinely pierce Tinseltown's celebrity party circuit. Author Adrian Maher is the first to chronicle this unique subterranean culture in La La Land--a group of social strivers, ambitious outliers, compulsive risk-takers, and dysfunctional characters seeking access to a famous and exclusive society from which they've been banned. Uninvited uses all the author's skills as a veteran reporter, television producer, private investigator, archivist, and humorous storyteller to reveal the unseen capers, snafus, and mishaps behind Hollywood's palace gates against a backdrop of America's fascination with celebrity culture. And it exposes the personal struggles of an adrenaline-addicted gatecrasher facing perpetual moral challenges, physical dangers, and psychological stressors that culminate in near disaster.

Reviews
"Aided by a Halloween gallery of fellow rogues and adrenaline junkies, Adrian Maher takes us on a joyous romp through backstage Hollywood dodging security, public relations flacks, and his own conscience. You'll be amazed at the chameleon disguises and side-door antics that put an everyman behind the hedge gates and face to face with Clint, Hef, Arianna, and the rest of Tinseltown's high and mighty. Deliciously subversive." -- James Rainey, Senior Reporter, Los Angeles Times, "Adrian Maher's Uninvited is an uproarious account of his party-crashing adventures--and the quirky characters that shared his compulsions. It's also a forthright exploration of his own motives, a keen commentary on celebrity culture, and an offbeat anthropology of contemporary Los Angeles. Consider this your formal invitation to enjoy his madcap memoir." -- Peter Richardson, author of No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead, "Fun and fab comedic tattletale--an insiders peek into VIP life by former LA Times writer Adrian Maher, has celebs out shopping for a copy to see if they're included."-- Beverly Hills Times, "A rollicking tale about a bunch of social wannabes busting down Hollywood's closed-door industry, pushing boundaries, confronting obstacles, and nonstop risk-taking. Witty and illuminating . . . priceless moments and scenes. A grand narrative more bizarre than any movie script." -- Rick King, Film Producer, Point Break, "Adrian Maher's gate-crasher capers would make any paparazzi proud: an ear for confrontation, a nose for action, and an eye for exquisite details. Nervy, amusing, and surreal. His Hollywood is a ceaseless and hair-raising series of nightly exploits and daily reckonings." -- Jennifer Buhl, author of Shooting Stars: My Unexpected Life Shooting Hollywood's Most Famous, "A wackadoodle journey over, under, and around the velvet rope. A laugh-a-minute page-turner as dramatic as any multi-million dollar blockbuster. Hilarious, gripping, and revealing." -- Bill Kalmenson, Comedian, Actor, and Host of the hit podcast, "A Rebel Without Applause", "Adrian Maher's gate-crasher capers would make any paparazzi proud: an ear for confrontation, a nose for action, and an eye for exquisite details.

I feel better now about gonzo journalism, though the country may be doomed." -- Sam Quinones, author of Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic "A rollicking tale about a bunch of social wannabes busting down Hollywood's closed-door industry, pushing boundaries, confronting obstacles, and nonstop risk-taking.
