It's no wonder that, after reading "Touched by Fire," country music
legend, George Jones, wrote Frank Griffin to say: "I thoroughly
enjoyed the book." Former President George H.W. Bush called it "a
most interesting read." The book tells an amazing American story.
In 1954 Johnnie Frank Griffin witnessed the violent death of
Alabama's Attorney General-elect Albert Patterson. Six months later
he told a grand jury about it. The next day he was stabbed. He died
that night in a hospital built on profits from crime. Nine years
later Johnnie Frank's son, Frank Griffin, saw Lee Harvey Oswald
fleeing down a Dallas street. Between these two events Frank grew
up in one of the strangest decades in American history. His story
touches that of Alabama Governor John Patterson. It collides with
mob bosses and CIA operations. There's even room for country music
and barroom brawls. This book shows how Frank Griffin's life is
truly "Touched By Fire."

Sometimes the worst pictures are really the best. The ones that are
edited may appear to be the most honest, but because of the
overwhelming demand for celebrities to always have smiling,
glamorous faces the pictures that show the truth are sometimes left
out. Celebrities love to have their picture taken but can also have
bad days they do not want documented...after all, despite what
people may think, they are human Paparazzi are just
photojournalists with a bad name. They do not choose the pictures
you all see. The good paps shoot everything and the picture
editors' selections are passed to chief editors who make the final
decisions. Celebrities have to sell themselves and the movies or TV
shows they appear in, working together with the paparazzi to
present themselves at premieres or award shows. Sometimes the
celebs are caught off-guard - maybe there's been a row with their
boyfriend, they've been turned down for a big part, their TV series
was cancelled or perhaps they just woke up on the wrong side of the
bed. The real stars somehow manage to have 'star quality' even when
crossing the road or doing their shopping. Craparazzi showcases the
pictures that have not been published, where the star tried to
avoid being snapped, by leaving through the back door, covering
their face with a purse or simply hiding. Sometimes the
photographer misses the 'money shot' but still gets a picture that
tells the story. You be the judge. Enjoy the pictures and the
captions and between them see if you can guess who the celebs are?
