Press Release Summary: Famous celebrities like George Clooney and Julia Roberts
stalk ordinary people and secretly help them in the humorous weekly web satire, "It
Happened in Plainfield."

Press Release Body: The term "celebrity stalker" takes on a completely different
meaning in the popular weekly web serial "It Happened in Plainfield," when actual
celebrities like George Clooney and Julia Roberts are the ones doing the stalking.
This is part of the premise of the fictional comic-mystery, which follows the quirky
adventures of an average guy in NJ who discovers a secret society of celebrities
watching him from the house across the street. Not only watching, but secretly
helping him as well.

Besides Clooney and Roberts, other real actors like Tom Selleck, Ben Affleck and
Ellen Degeneres also make appearances in the story, as does the Queen of Media
herself, Oprah Winfrey. But what are all these famous faces doing in Plainfield? And
why are they so interested in Henson? Finding out is half the fun, as readers come
back each week to download the latest free chapter in this ongoing saga.

Since the website's launch in April, "It Happened in Plainfield" has been
entertaining a growing and loyal readership with its humorous narrative and unusual
take on suburban living. Thirty-odd chapters have been released to date, with a new
episode being posted every Monday. The story is expected to wrap up sometime in
December.

"I look forward to it every week, like a soap opera," says reader Miriam Ricker, who
first learned about the story through a co-worker. "But I think the celebrities
that are included should get a hold of this and just read the concept. It's
fascinating."

The concept revolves around a group of famous movie actors who secretly form a
philanthropic organization to help affect positive change in society one person at a
time. Henson is one of the people they have chosen to help, though at first he
doesn't know it. Then a series of mysterious events take place that eventually lead
him to the truth. But that's only half the story. Along the way, Henson discovers a
rival faction that is systematically trying to destroy everything the celebrities
have tried to accomplish. But who are they and why is Henson caught in the middle?

"The premise of the story is purposely ridiculous," says author Michael Latshaw.
"And I think that's why people are enjoying it. You know it's not true, but there's
still a little part of you that wonders if it could all really happen."
