Book idea: Faustian bargain hunters

I recently found out from a friend that a reporter at a major daily newspaper is on sabbatical writing a book about celebrities and their thoughts about God.

My first thought was, hey, this person is ripping off Studs Terkel’s book Will The Circle Be Unbroken, but removing all those common folk that the populist thinks are just as important as the famous. So, naturally, more people will want to read the reporter’s book, because we live in a celebritocracy.

But, hold on a minute. Wouldn’t a more interesting book be interviews with all the celebrities who have made deals with the devil to get to where they are?

Off the top of my head: Larry King; Rush Limbaugh; Britney Spears; Ashton Kutcher; anyone associated with American Idol; the cast of Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City; Jerry Bruckheimer; Paris Hilton; Dick Cheney; the Osborne family; that Mormon who won on Jeopardy; Jerrod the Subway dude; Ann Coulter; Sean Hannity; Hillary Clinton; Andrew Lloyd Webber; Sting; Bono; the Rolling Stones; Billy Bush; Lorne Michaels; Anne Rice; Puff Daddy; 50 Cent; Donald Trump; the guy who wrote Wicked; Arnold Schwarzenegger; Maria Shriver; the cast of Friends; Phil Collins; Barbara Walters; anyone who has ever been on The View; Oprah Winfrey; Cher; Peter, Paul and Mary.

I could type all night.

Send me your suggestions.
