'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 behaviour on the part of show business personalities.
Charting celebrities from rehab to retox, to jails, cults, institutions, near-death experiences and the Democratic Party, the book 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 manoeuvring 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.
