Deskripsi:
Welcome to Underground, the most prominent
music television station in the United States,
where young, talented entertainers and VJs
live their normal lives, that is if you can call
living under the limelight for ten hours a day,
flying on Marquis Jet to cover AmsterJam and
Live 8, and pose for the cover of Rolling Stone
magazine ‘normal’.
Under the spotlight, everything seems
perfect. Liv has just been listed as one of
the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World.
Stefan, the so-called most eligible bachelor
in New York, succesfully started a celebrity
online promotion company. Gavin got his
band signed on a major label. Claire is being
headhunted by MTV and VH1. Heather and
Jared are making the most of their love story
on set. Shareef and Aaliyah can easily replace
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to pose for W
magazine as the pefect American family.
But when the spotlights have went out and the
red carpet has been rolled, they have to face
the hard truth. Abstinence versus promiscuity,
gossips on tabloids, drugs, plastic surgery, to
unwanted pregnancy are just the tip of the
iceberg.
Underground is a simple novel about the
complex life of celebrities, although like most
of us, they are too still trying to define the true
meaning of friendship and love.
