Some of you may remember writer Scott Raab---he left Cleveland in the mid 1980's and became a journalist for publications like GQ and The New York Times. He has been Esquire's Writer-at-Large since 1997 and will be at Mac's to sign copies of Real Hollywood Stories: Inside the Minds of 20 Celebrities, with One A-List Writer, a collection of articles about celebrities originally published in Esquire. Scott seems to be from the Hunter Thompson school of Gonzo journalism. The stories are irreverant, insightful, and amusing. He's walked the dog with Cleveland favorite Paul Newman, gone to the zoo with Ian McGregor and bowled with another Cleveland favorite, Drew Carey. Bill Murray, Sean Penn, Will Ferrell and many others are included in this very entertaining collection. Bring it to the beach! Fri, Jun. 6th, 2008, 10:47 am

Most information is taken directly from their site at http://fye.osu.edu/speaker.html Tickets are free but required! Seating is limited - Tickets can be picked up in 120 Enarson Hall. The event will be held at Weigel Hall Auditorium on April 10, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. About Morgan Spurlock Morgan Spurlock's career spans film, non-fiction literature, television, and theatre. He is the Academy Award-nominated director of Super Size Me, creator and producer of the reality television series 30 Days, and author of Don’t Eat This Book. His current film project is What Would Jesus Buy? 30 Days In each episode of FX’s critically acclaimed series 30 Days, a person (sometimes Spurlock himself) immerses themselves for a month in a lifestyle opposite to their experience. The series tackles current social issues such as college binge drinking, immigration, outsourcing, and abortion. The first episode of 30 Days, where Morgan Spurlock tries to survive for a month on minimum wage, was shot in Columbus. Super Size Me Spurlock's first feature film, Super Size Me, was released in 2004 and centered on Spurlock’s experiment to eat only fast food for a month. The documentary received an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature, the Writers Guild of America Best Documentary Screenplay Award, and Best Director prizes at the Sundance Film Festival and the Edinburgh Film Festival. It is the sixth highest grossing documentary of all time. Don't Eat This Book Shortly after the theatrical opening of Super Size Me, Spurlock published his first non-fiction book, Don’t Eat This Book. The book picked up where the film leaves off, diving even deeper into the psyche of a super-sized nation. Note: His then fiance, now wife, Alex Jamieson, wrote a book called The Great American Detox Diet: Feel Better, Look Better, and Lose Weight by Cleaning Up Your Diet which is how he lost the weight he gained from the movie. What Would Jesus Buy? Spurlock is a co-star and producer of the recently released film, What Would Jesus Buy?, based on the work of Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping. The film looks at the commercialization of Christmas. Sun, Apr. 6th, 2008, 10:05 am
