Reading

A Read the story about celebrity gossip.

THE HOLLYWOOD SCOOP

Celebrity gossip is big business today, with many magazines focused on finding out what the stars are doing in their personal lives. Believe it or not, just two
women started it all – Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper. In the golden age of Hollywood, these women were very powerful and could make or break a star’s
career. As a result, many stars were quite scared of what these two women said!

In the early days of Hollywood, the big studios wanted all their stars to have a good image. These studios worked closely with the newspapers to make sure they
only printed the information that the studios gave them. This only changed when Louella and Hedda started to publish articles about the things that famous
people were doing wrong. During their most popular period, twenty million people a day would read their stories.

When they were young both Hedda and Louella had tried to get into show business and failed. Some people say that they were jealous of the stars and this is
why they enjoyed telling the world about their secrets. Whatever the truth is, after these two women started writing about celebrities’ outrageous behaviour,
there was no stopping the demand for more!

Comprehension

B Answer the questions.

1 What did Hedda and Louella begin?

2 Why were the stars afraid of Hedda and Louella?

3 Before Hedda and Louella, what did the newspapers write about the stars?

4 How do we know that Hedda and Louella were popular?

5 Why did some people believe these two women liked writing about celebrities?
