A slightly more cerebral book I have in my queue at this moment is a work that Andrew Breitbart did with Mark Ebner called 'Hollywood, Interrupted: Insanity Chic in babylon---the case against celebrity' it is described as: 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.
As much as I'm not a tabloids reader, I do find it irksome when Hollywood elites, the Learjet/Limousine Liberals attempt to be standard bearers for American society. I also really despise their disdain for anyone not in/from LA or NYC....lots of those shitbags who "play pretend" for heaping amounts of cash aren't all that smart, and the propaganda newsreaders from the mainstream media who just assume they are aren't far behind.
Not sure what I will read after this though....I might do another history book.
