A Star is Born-Again/References


 * This episode is a parody of the 1999 film Notting Hill.
 * The episode title is a play on the 1937 film A Star is Born.
 * When Helen Fielding runs around being chased by bobbies and a man in a gorilla suit (following the book club meeting and the end of the episode), it is an homage to the UK sketch comedy The Benny Hill Show. The music featured in the background of the sequences, "Yakety Sax", is the same music used in that series.
