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. ABOUT THE AUTHOR ANDREW BREITBART has played the low-key online sidekick to Matt Drudge on the infamous Drudge Report for six years and is a regular commentator on Fox News, CNBC's Dennis Miller show, and talk radio. His writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, National Review Online, Human events, and the New York Post, among others, and he has worked as a researcher for Arianna Huffington.

  • Freedom of Religion and the Church of Scientology in Germany and the United States
    SHOULD GERMANY STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE OCTOPUS? FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY IN GERMANY AND THE UNITED STATES Religion hides many mischiefs from suspicion.' I. INTRODUCTION Recently the City of Los Angeles dedicated one of its streets to the founder of the Church of Scientology, renaming it "L. Ron Hubbard Way." 2 Several months prior to the ceremony, the Superior Administrative Court of Miinster, Germany held that Federal Minister of Labor Norbert Bluim was legally permitted to continue to refer to Scientology as a "giant octopus" and a "contemptuous cartel of oppression." 3 These incidents indicate the disparity between the way that the Church of Scientology is treated in the United States and the treatment it receives in Germany.4 Notably, while Scientology has been recognized as a religion in the United States, 5 in Germany it has struggled for acceptance and, by its own account, equality under the law. 6 The issue of Germany's treatment of the Church of Scientology has reached the upper echelons of the United States 1. MARLOWE, THE JEW OF MALTA, Act 1, scene 2. 2. Formerly known as Berendo Street, the street links Sunset Boulevard with Fountain Avenue in the Hollywood area. At the ceremony, the city council president praised the "humanitarian works" Hubbard has instituted that are "helping to eradicate illiteracy, drug abuse and criminality" in the city.

Richard Duran, Committee Chair June 2017 A Web of Extended Metaphors in the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto of Aaron Swartz Copyright © 2017 by Kathleen Anne Swift iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee for their advice and patience as I worked on gathering and analyzing the copious amounts of research necessary to write this dissertation. Ongoing conversations about hacktivism, Anonymous, Swartz, Snowden, and the rise of the surveillance state have been interesting to say the least. I appreciate all the counsel and guidance I have received over the years. In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters.

  • Bling Ring: a Gangue De Hollywood, Ela Apresenta Todos Os Detalhes De Uma Das Quadrilhas Mais Audaciosas De Nossos Tempos
    1 2 Entre 2008 e 2009, as residências de Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton e diversas outras celebridades foram invadidas e saqueadas. Os ladrões, um grupo de jovens criados em um endinheirado subúrbio de Los Angeles, levaram o equivalente a 3 milhões de dólares em joias, dinheiro e artigos de grife, como relógios Rolex, bolsas Louis Vuitton, perfumes Chanel e jaquetas Diane von Furstenberg. As notícias surpreendentes sobre o caso chocaram Hollywood e intrigaram o mundo. Por que esses garotos, que em nada correspondiam à tradicional imagem dos bandidos, realizaram crimes tão ousados? A jornalista Nancy Jo Sales entrevistou todos os envolvidos, incluindo os pais e os advogados dos jovens, e até mesmo as celebridades que sofreram os assaltos. Em Bling Ring: a gangue de Hollywood, ela apresenta todos os detalhes de uma das quadrilhas mais audaciosas de nossos tempos. A história real também inspirou o filme de Sofia Coppola, estrelado por Emma Watson. 3 Da esquerda para a direita, no alto: Diana Tamayo, Jonathan Ajar, Alexis Neiers e Rachel Lee; embaixo: Nick Prugo, Courtney Ames e Roy Lopez. 4 PREFÁCIO Na primavera de 2010, recebi um recado de alguém do escritório de Sofia Coppola dizendo que ela estava interessada em comprar os direitos de filmagem da minha reportagem “The Suspects Wore Louboutins” [Os suspeitos usavam Louboutin] para a revista Vanity Fair, que tinha acabado de ser publicada na edição dedicada a Hollywood daquele ano. Fiquei entusiasmada, mas também intrigada em saber por que essa história teria atraído o interesse de Sofia Coppola. Era sobre uma quadrilha formada por adolescentes entre 2008 e 2009 que tinham escolhido como alvo as casas da nova geração de astros de Hollywood.

  • Celebrities Keeping Scientology Working Stephen A
    5 Celebrities Keeping Scientology Working Stephen A. Kent L. Ron Hubbard was prescient with his realization about the impact that stars and celebrities had upon ordinary people in mass culture. People imitated and emulated them, often modeling aspects of their own lives according to what actors did on stage or how they lived their lives off-camera. Statements that he made about the celebrities in the entertainment industry fostered among some of them an inflated feeling of self-importance, portraying them as art- ists who shaped the development of civilization. The artists who absorbed this inflated view of their contributions did so as they socialized into the subcultural world that Hubbard created, in which they equated civilizational advance with furthering Scientology’s influence. Serving Scientology, there- fore, was a means by which they felt that they were contributing to society’s advancement, and if by doing so, they caught the eye of a producer looking to fill a part in a film, then ever so much the better. This chapter examines the way that Scientology utilizes celebrities in the organization’s overall effort to “keep Scientology working.” I kept in mind the overall description of elites that appears in resource mobilization theory, since these celebrities have the flexible time, resources, and media connec- tions that allows them to open areas nationally or internationally in which they can proselytize. More importantly, however, might be the significance of having celebrity status itself, because that status carries with it forms of unique, valuable assets that its possessors can use to influence others in soci- ety.
