- Jeetendr Sehdev is a global media personality, the world's leading celebrity expert and a New York Times bestselling author. Described by Extra (1994) as 'the love child of TMZ and The Economist' and Harper's Bazaar as 'the most relevant voice of the social media era', he has become one of the most prominent figures in celebrity news.
Having been bitten by the LA bug on a family vacation at the age of ten, Jeetendr returned home to his British private school (albeit kicking and screaming) but was determined to break free and make his way back to The City of Angels. After graduating from Oxford University, he headed to Harvard University to get 3000 miles closer to Hollywood.
Jeetendr's talent for presenting and his unique perspective on the world of entertainment quickly got him noticed by TV producers and he became a familiar face on shows like Access Hollywood (1996), Today (1952) and E! News (1991), generating headline-grabbing news from the lack of diversity at The Oscars (2017) to Justin Bieber's comeback. In 2014, Jeetendr shook up the world of entertainment by revealing how social media stars generate more obsession than the Hollywood A-list. His perspective went viral and the world of entertainment was forever changed.
From Vogue to GQ to L'Officiel, Jeetendr has graced the pages of numerous fashion and lifestyle magazines. He has also written numerous opinion pieces for the likes of The Hollywood Reporter and Women's Wear Daily, his commentary has filled thousands of publications from the New York Times to the Daily Mail to TMZ and more. Jeetendr's first book, "The Kim Kardashian Principle" the part memoir, part self-help guide has become an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times bestseller. Michael Levin at The Huffington Post names it one of the most influential books of the year. In 2019, Jeetendr was named Esquire's Influencer Of The Year.

- I hated every second of high school. I was bullied and always the last person to get picked on a team. We played sports at least four times a week so it was definitely a problem.
- Experiencing the death of a parent at a young age is the hardest thing to describe. I suppose it's like a nightmare that you just can't wake up from.

- I never planned on putting YouTubers and digital stars on the map but you can never predict what's going to go viral. Life has a funny way of taking its own course.
- When I was a kid, maybe around five or six, I would run around telling people I wanted to marry Wonder Woman. It's no surprise I named my book after an equally strong woman.
