Hollywood, interrupted : insanity chic in Babylon - the case against celebrity / by Andrew breitbart an Mark Ebner Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley and Sons, 2004.
Call No: 46(794) BREAuthor: Breitbart, Andrew ; Ebner, Mark Edition: 2004Place: Hoboken, New JerseyPublisher: John Wiley and SonsPubDate: 2004PhysDes: 394 pages : illustrations ; 22 cmSubject: HOLLYWOOD ; CELEBRITIES ; LOVE, COURTNEY ; MADONNA ; JACKSON, MICHAEL ; SPIELBERG, STEVEN Summary: Hollywood, Interrupted is a sometimes frightening, occasionally sad, and frequently hysterical odyssey into the darkest realms of showbiz pathology, the endless stream of meltdowns and flameouts, and the inexplicable behavior on the part of show business personalities.
Charting celebrities from rehab to retox, to jails, cults, institutions, near-death experiences and the Democratic Party, Hollywood, Interrupted takes readers on a surreal field trip into the amoral belly of the entertainment industry. Each chapter — covering topics including warped Hollywood child-rearing, bad medicine, hypocritical political maneuvering and the complicit media — delivers a meticulously researched, interview-infused, attitude heavy dispatch which analyzes and deconstructs the myths created by the celebrities themselves.
Celebrities somehow believe that it's their god-given right to inflict their pathology on the rest of us. Hollywood, Interrupted illustrates how these dysfunctional dilettantes are mad as hell... And we're not going to take it any more. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780471706243

Television Personalities : stardom and the small screen / James Bennett London ; New York: Routledge, 2011.
Call No: 465.1 BENAuthor: Bennett, James Source: USPlace: London ; New YorkPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 2011PhysDes: xii, 225 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: BROADCASTING ; PERSONALITIES ON TV ; CELEBRITIES Summary: " Celebrities have come to increasingly dominate the media and its study in contemporary culture. Although acknowledged as part of this general rise in the importance of celebrity culture, television's specific forms of stardom have until now remained largely under-theorised. Television Personalities examines how television personalitites function as commodities, and also function ideologically, thus relating them to issues of class, national identity, sexuality, gender and social history. Television Personalities sets out a new way of considering televisual fame, arguing that it must be understood on its own terms, and thus establishing the televsion personality as a particular set of performers whose celebrity is contstructed through discourses of ordinariness, authenticity and intimacy. The book is divided into three sections that trace the historical development of televisual fame from the 1950s through to the emergence of 'DIY' celebrity in the digital era" -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references ([206]-215] and index.ISBN: 9780415481892Contents: Introduction -- The television personality system. TV must train its own stars : the invention of the television personality -- An "irreconcilable opposition" : music hall, radio and the emergence of televisual skill -- "Too much glamour"? : glamour, gender and "in-vision" announcers -- "Oooh, I'm an entertainer-- it's what I do" : political economy, performance and pleasure. "You don't know anyone ..."? : the political economy of television fame -- The art of "being yourself" : pleasure, meaning and achievement in performance -- The television personality system revisited : ideology, multiplatform and DIY fame. Just "an ordinary bloke" : national identity and ideology -- Get Internet famous! (even if you're nobody) : multiplatform fame and the television personality system in the digital era -- Conclusion.
