Not that I would buy it or read it, but, on what basis are they INFLUENTIAL?
I get sick of seeing and hearing about them, and can’t imagine that anything they have to say is of any value to ANYONE.
They sure don’t influence anyone in my circle of acquaintances.

My first job was in a supermarket in a poor section of Tampa. This was a time when people bought stuff with food stamps rather than some anonymous card that no one can tell is taxpayer money. They’d buy their beer and cigarettes with cash and very frequently they’d buy the gossipy tabloid stuff that always featured the famous people of the day and their scandals. As often as I could I’d ask what they found interesting in such “literature.” Frequently they gush about what the queen was doing or Jaquelin Kennedy. Or, Elvis, who was dead but still fooling around enough to have sired at least one alien baby. To this day, it still boggles my mind. Apparently, those tabloids made dirt poor people feel included in the kind of society we’d imagine held James Bond, though I’m pretty sure he never slept with aliens. Elvis though, yeah. No doubt.
