EXHIBIT 23.2



INFORMATION REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
provides that if any part of a registration statement, at the time such part
becomes effective, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security
pursuant to such registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of
such acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may sue, among
others, every accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or
certified any part of the registration statement, or as having prepared or
certified any report or valuation which is used in connection with the
registration statement, with respect to the statement in such registration
statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified
by the accountant.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated by reference into Registration
Statement File Nos. 333-21173, 333-38219, 333-57855, 333-68209, 333-14659,
333-48380, 33345098 and 333-64262 (collectively, the "Registration Statements")
of Hollywood Media Corp. ("Hollywood Media") and, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, is deemed to be a new registration
statement for each Registration Statement into which it is incorporated by
reference.

As recommended by Hollywood Media's Audit Committee, Hollywood Media's Board of
Directors dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") on May 27, 2002, as
Hollywood Media's independent accountants. See Hollywood Media's Current Report
on Form 8-K filed May 28, 2002, for more information. After reasonable efforts,
Hollywood Media has been unable to obtain Andersen's written consent to the
incorporation by reference into the Registration Statements of its audit reports
with respect to Hollywood Media's financial statements as of and for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a
under the Securities Act permits Hollywood Media to file this Form 10-K without
a written consent from Andersen. However, as a result, with respect to
transactions in Hollywood Media securities pursuant to the Registration
Statements that occur subsequent to the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Andersen may not have any
liability under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of
a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Andersen or any
omissions of a material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you
might be unable to assert a claim against Andersen under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act because it has not consented to the incorporation by reference
into the Registration Statements of the copies of its audit reports for the
periods ending December 31, 2001 and 2000 which are reproduced herein. To the
extent provided in Section 11(b)(3)(C) of the Securities Act, however, other
persons who are potentially subject to liability under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act, including Hollywood Media's officers and directors, may still
rely on Andersen's original audit reports as being made by an expert for
purposes of establishing a due diligence defense under Section 11(b) of the
Securities Act. These facts may have the effect of limiting the ability of
Hollywood Media investors to recover any losses suffered in connection with the
purchase or sale of Hollywood Media securities due to material inaccuracies or
omissions contained in the financial statements reproduced herein for the
periods ending December 31, 2001 and 2000.
