Carrie Fisher: Acid in the Desert, Snakes in the Amazon, and More Postcards from the Edge
Carrie Fisher once dropped acid in the desert with Paul Simon. She did ayahuasca in the Amazon jungle, where she was attacked by a giant snake that may or may not have been real. She did so much cocaine that legendary partyman John Belushi told her to ease up. Her mood swings were such a dramatic part of her personality that she gave them their own names. And her personality was so galvanizing that it became an avatar for real-life resistance fighters.

Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Sofia Coppola, and The Bling Ring
In the early 2010s, a group of burglars ransacked Hollywood homes like the city was their personal shopping mall. No celebrity was safe from their sticky fingers: Not Lindsay Lohan, not Orlando Bloom, and especially not Paris Hilton, who perhaps lost the most luxury loot of anyone. The thieves pocketed over $3 million dollars' worth of custom couture, cocaine, and cold card cash before they were caught. And when “The Bling Ring” finally traded their designer digs for orange jumpsuits, the world learned the most shocking aspect of the entire case: They were only teenagers.

James Dean: A Death Foretold, a Gruesome Publicity Stunt, and a Haunted Car
James Dean died in a high-speed car crash at the age of 24, but his legend lives on. Fan clubs held monthly memorial services and wrote movie studios begging for relics of their patron saint. Professional illusionists swore they could resurrect his body. Rumors that Dean survived the deadly crash were spurred on, and in some cases planted, by a film studio with a financial stake in keeping his memory alive. The car that killed him had a grisly afterlife of its own, taking two more lives before mysteriously disappearing forever.
