'As the Nine Network's Entertainment Editor and more than 17 years on the Today show, Richard Wilkins has interviewed the cream of the international entertainment industry - from Madonna to the Rolling Stones, and from Andrea Bocelli to Nigel Kennedy.

'Black Ties, Red Carpets, Green Rooms is a collection of his favourite, most interesting, strangest and most embarrassing star encounters. Richard weaves his own life story into the tales of celebrities, fame and interviews.

'From struggling to support his wife and Down syndrome son at the age of 18 in rural New Zealand to hobnobbing with the world's hottest celebrities at the Oscars, Richard's life makes for extraordinary - and deeply affecting - reading. Now the father of five, Richard boards scores of flights each year in search of the perfect interview. But who is he really, and what made him the man he is today? ' (Publication summary)
