WORKING IN A CELEBRITY'S UNIVERSE: IT WON'T MAKE YOU A STAR

By:Harlan (Hucky) Austin
Bodyguard work requires the ability to spend hours upon hours doing nothing. Let me clarify: you ARE keeping an eye on your celebrity, alert to over-zealous fans, paparazzi and the like, but often my job would consist of sitting for 12 hours in a secured recording studio watching Prince or other musicians working out arrangements.

That was interesting. Is it assumed that the 5 celebs mentioned were the 5 celebs the author might consider working for again?

woot! Prince was mentioned. Hey, by the way are you the author? Or should I even ask?


I would guess that Bette Midler would be a cool (or rather warm) person.

Wow, that was some great information. That does give the whole bodyguard thing a different perspective. It's great to have you back.
I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin.
