Who is Lady Gaga? She is an artist who wanted to be a sensitive singer-songwriter, whose musical heroes include Britney Spears, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen. She is a woman who says no man can ever compete with her career, but who still isn’t over the ex-boyfriend who said she was too ambitious. Based on over fifty original interviews with friends, employees, rivals, and music industry veterans, Poker Face is the first in-depth biography of the extraordinary cultural phenomenon that is Lady Gaga.

Terrifically exciting and fun, Champagne Supernovas is a lucid, smoothly executed look at a pivotal decade in the legacy of American fashion as told through the lives of Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueen - the three iconic personalities who defined the time. Veteran pop culture journalist Maureen Callahan takes us back to the pivotal style moment of the early 1990s - when supermodel glamazons gave way to heroin chic, when the alternative became the mainstream, and when fashion suddenly became the cradle for the most exciting artistic and cultural innovations of the age.

Ted Bundy. John Wayne Gacy. Jeffrey Dahmer. The names of notorious serial killers are usually well-known; they echo in the news and in public consciousness. But most people have never heard of Israel Keyes, one of the most ambitious and terrifying serial killers in modern history. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented. Described by a prosecutor as "a force of pure evil," Keyes was a predator who struck all over the United States.

Maureen Callahan's family, along with nearly everyone with an Irish surname had been royalty hundreds of years ago.
Maureen Callahan has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Maureen Callahan began his professional career at seventeen. She was working for MTV and Sassy magazine which was her bible as a teenage girl growing up on Long Island. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts, she went on to be an editor and writer at New York magazine, Vanity Fair, Spin, and the New York Post. She covered everything from the subcultures of the Lower East Side to local and national politics. Now she is the critic-at-large and writer at New York Post.
Callahan authored Champagne Supernovas: Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, and the '90s Renegades Who Remade Fashion, a 2014 non-fiction account of the fashion industry and Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga in 2010. Her new book of 2019 is American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century. In this work, she provides a chilling true-crime narrative in this detailed study of Israel Keyes, whom she describes as a new kind of monster, likely responsible for the greatest string of unsolved disappearances and murders in modern American history.
Maureen Callahan was named Humanitarian of the Year by the American Humane Society for reporting on retired military working dogs and the veterans who are wrongly separated from them. Callahan received an ASCAP-Deems Taylor award as co-author of Don't Drink the Brown Water, a piece in SPIN magazine about what led to the Woodstock riots of 1999. The article was also selected for inclusion in DaCapo's Best Music Writing 2000. In 2016, Irish America listed Callahan as one of its Top 50 Power Women of the year.

2019The idea that nobility was democratic struck Maureen Callahan as quintessentially Irish. She also feels that her love of literature is a direct result of her heritage. Maureen believes that more transparency will help narrow the gender wage gap, citing how New Yorkers will easily talk about their rent, but never what they earn, leaving too many of us flying blind.
Quotations: "As the final decade of the millennium dawned, there would be no greater expression of the cultural, economic, and social revolutions to come than fashion. What rock 'n' roll was to the '50s, drugs to the '60s, film to the '70s, and modern art to the '80s, fashion was to the '90s: the fuse, then the filter."
