Star Stories is a British television comedy programme that takes a satirical look at celebrities and their lives. It was first shown on Channel 4 on September 15, 2006.
This light hearted and tongue-in-cheek comedy series forces open the doors of the closely guarded world of celebrity, as the lives and loves of Hollywood actors and international pop stars get satirically reconstructed - the conceit of which that a maligned star creates a hagiographic revision of their own personal life, often with a crowbarred narration putting down established facts.
Star Stories is made by Objective Productions commissioned for Channel 4 by Shane Allen and Andrew Newman with Lee Hupfield producing, Elliot Hegarty directing and Phil Clarke and Andew O'Connor as executive producers.
