Elsewhere in the book, Chung offers odd pronouncements, such as, “How to rage: Get a balloon and a best friend. Already a hugely popular television personality and a muse for Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld, Chung is now a co-anchor of the nightly music show Fuse News , covering today's hottest acts and entertainment news.I'm on the hunt for something very similar myself at the moment, but they are a bit scarce on the ground I think.
