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

Most of these people have been interviewed so many times their answers had been turned to stone. Interviewers, too, are icon builders, and ask the same questions over and over. Celebreties, despite fame, are struggling to maintain their own living voices. It is Worrell's special gift as an interviewer and writer to hold up a mirror to the most closely held of reflections. Icons reads like a collection of finely honed short storie and raises the craft of celebrity reporting to the finest journalism." -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 0871133067Donation: Donated by Simon WincerContents: Author's note -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction by Otto Friedrich -- Madonna is her given name -- The Eternal Childhood of Steven Spielberg -- Steve Martin in color -- Plain-wrap superstar Paul Newman -- Nastassia Kinski: wild child -- Bob Dylan down executioner's row -- David Lean on the far horizon -- The dark side of George Lucas -- Very very Bette Midler -- Oliver Stone goes to war -- Michael Jackson in Never-Never Land.

In her film reviews, she dissects the 'mega' filmmakers of our time - Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, Pedro Almodovar, Ken Russell and David Lynch. Definitely not 'one of the boys', Suzanne Moore's attitude to the good and famous is refreshing and irreverent." -Book blurb.Notes: Contains bibliographyISBN: 1852422424Contents: Introduction -- Feminism -- Men: Men against men; Target man; The brothers grim; Toy soldiers or wicked willies; Prince; Torch Song tightrope; Here's looking at you, kid -- Women: Material girl; Hi, I'm Anneka - fly me; Green light spells danger; The odds of getting even; A call to underarms; Fatal fantasies; Happiness is a warm gun; Close-up as the cookie crumbles; Women who read too much; The great awakening; Modern romance; The merry life of Windsor -- Children: Hiding in the wardrobe; Hung-up on Father Christmas; Politics of choice; Birth and death; Maternal melodramas; Eternal childhood; Unhappy families; Heroes in a half-shell -- Fantasy -- Fear: Killjoy culture; Filming by numbers; The death of intimacy; To hell and back; Murder most foul; Electric shocks; Fag end; Soft soap -- Flesh: Good vibrations; Deviant laws; Everyday eroticism; One big act; A screw of convenience?; Missionary sex; The struggle for safe endings -- Faith: Kidnapped by the counter-culture; Sculpting in time; Playing Jesus by night; Nithing but the truth; Always a love story; Jazz junkie -- Power: Pleasure: Understimulation; And now for the news; Film slobs; The metal age; All night long; The money game; Mall-content?; Mini-politics: saying no in public; Belushi's last high; something to stay home about; Reach for the stars; Starship stories -- Politics: Political poison; Junk culture; Never really at home; A problem of identities; Brand loyalty; Sun rises in the east; You can't do the right thing all the time; Great expectations -- Populism: Postmodern paralysis; Britain's macho man; On the side of the man in the street; Against the sober grain -- Postmodernism: Politics of seduction; Getting a bit of the other - the pimps of postmodernism.ID2: 291

He shows that the conflict between ' realism' and 'tinsel' is not the simple dichotomy it might appear, and that the heritage of British cinema in the 1940s is much richer and more valuable than has hiterhto been realised." -- taken from back coverNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 260-265) and indexesISBN: 0415076846Contents: List of Illustrations -- General Editor's Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- 1 Britain Alone -- 2 War Culture -- 3 Realism and Tinsel -- 4 The Rank Empire -- 5 Great Expectations -- 6 Passionate Friends? -- 7 Exotic Dreams -- 8 The Spiv Cycle -- 9 Morbid Burrowings -- 10 Nothing to Laugh at at All -- 11 Challenge to Hollywood -- Conclusion -- Chronology: Cinema and Society in the Forties -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index of Film Titles -- General Index
