It's Been A While

Trying to finish up polishing my book "You Can't Marry Them All" and other Hollywood Stories.  Problem is I can't change the names of the people in the book.  My publisher said we'll be sued if I use the correct names, but people don't want to read about Bob Smith.  They want to read about Tom Cruise or Katherine Heigl.  So what's a writer to do?  I did change all the names, but wasn't comfortable doing so, now all the names are correct.  I know I just have to push a button and it will all be available to read to the public.
