So a few months ago we told you about this book, "Likely Story," from Chris Van Etten, an Emmy-winning "One Life to Live" writer. The book, about the backstage shenagians at a soap opera, is kind of awesome. So that's why we're psyched there's a sequel, "All That Glitters." It does what we love best: continues to reveal all the sordid and madness that go on backstage at a daytime soap opera.

Chris, of course, claims that none of the antics depicted in the book are based on real life, but we think he's just being coy. Half the fun of "All That Glitters" for fans of "One Life to Live" is guessing what parts are so ridiculous they MUST be based on true events.
