Characters/People edit
- Ann DeLuisa: Double for Cherry Pye, except for the striking green eyes. She is often seen out and about when Cherry is incapacitated (e.g., in rehab or having her stomach pumped).
- Cherry Pye: Plucked by Maury from a Nickelodeon show (in which she wore an ill-advised cowgirl outfit) to stardom as a pop singer...well, lip-synched. Her real name is Cheryl Bunterman, but she wants to change it to Cherish. Just the single name, of course.
- Maury Lykes: Cherry Pye's promoter.
- Janet Bunterman: Cherry Pye's deluded (?) mother and manager, who keeps blaming her daughter's illnesses on food poisoning.
- Claude Abbot (a.k.a. Bang Abbot): Paparazzo obsessed with documenting Cherry Pye's inevitable downfall.
- Tanner Dane Keefe: Celebrity actor "boyfriend" of Cherry Pye nee Cheryl Bunterman. They primarily get together to do drugs and have sex; Cherry is far more committed to Tanner than Tanner has interest in Cherry.
- Jackie Sebago: South Florida developer
- Ned Bunterman: Cherry Pye's golf-obsessed father.
- Reilly: Add a description of this character.
- Lev: Cherry Pye's bodyguard at the beginning of the book.
