'American Idol' Satire 'Elimination Night' Previewed in Web Teaser (Video)

The salacious dealings inside the studios of the fictional reality TV competition Project Icon will hit stores next month with the release of Elimination Night, a thinly-veiled, scathing tell-all of the tenth season of a top-ranked talent show -- yes, that would be American Idol.

'American Idol's' Behind-The-Scenes Drama Satirized in New Book

Clay Aiken: 'American Idol' is Now All About the Judges

The book publishers have now issued a juicy online trailer teasing that the tome -- which has fictional judges obviously based on Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler -- will be "deliciously outrageous."

"I never thought I would have found myself in showbiz, but there I was helping produce Project Icon," intones the voice of the book’s author, "Anonymous," who talks from the shadows about "dealing with these people on a daily basis."

STORY: New Book Satires 'American Idol'

The "people" -- made of clay in the promo -- includes Lopez doppelganger "Bibi Vasquez" and her "not-so-sincere melodrama," Tyler dead-ringer "Joey Lovecraft" and his "extracurricular activities" and Ryan Seacrest-esque host "Wayne Shoreline" as an "android" with "passive-aggressive smugness." 

"The problem was, our audience didn’t find it quite as entertaining," says the secret author. "My job was to keep the whole thing from getting canceled … easier said than done."

Billed as a "satire in the vein of The Devil Wears Prada," Elimination Night is a 281-page work of fiction telling the story of a young woman who's privy to the behind-the-scenes insanity of a hit series. The only clue revealing the true identity of "Anonymous" is he or she had actual, real-life dealings behind the scenes in the reality show world.

The book is scheduled for release on Jan. 8.  Pre-orders are being taken at Amazon.Com/Elimination Night.
