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.
