In a nod to highbrow audiences

In a nod to highbrow audiences, Brown will also appear on stage in conversation with the historian Andrew Roberts 'to talk about celebrity, life and politics' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in central London on 20 June.
It all starts on the other side of the Atlantic. First, there is a New York launch party tomorrow night at the highly fashionable Sony Club on Manhattan's Madison Avenue, hosted by the consumer electronics giant's chief executive, Sir Howard Stringer. A private party with Brown's old New Yorker colleagues has already been held at the apartment of its current editor, David Remnick, who gave a speech laced with humour about the book.
Her launch party at the voguish Serpentine Gallery in London's Kensington Gardens - near Diana's former Kensington Palace home - has a guest list which reflects her power to call in favours and attract stars to her orbit. It includes Tony and Cherie Blair, Conservative leader David Cameron and MP Boris Johnson, Madonna, Kate Moss, shoe designer Jimmy Choo, film director Stephen Frears, TV cook Nigella Lawson, former News of the World and Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan and the actors Rupert Everett, Helen Mirren and Kevin Spacey. Numerous other editors, journalists, publishers and royal insiders are expected.
