Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darkly humorous, usually sarcastic, and always profane and offensive, Interviews with Dead Celebrities tears apart the pillars upon which we place celebrities, politicians, and entertainers with sharp social commentary in the form of interviews that are relentless in their pursuit of the raw, honest, (albeit completely fictional) truth. Written by humorist and comedian Adam Avitable, this book asks the questions you've always wanted to know. Why did Whitney Houston throw away her good will for drugs? Did Osama bin Laden really hate America? Can Steve Jobs tell a joke? Does Joe Paterno care about children? Would John Hughes have written a sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off? With over fifty posthumous interviews written entirely by Avitable, Interviews with Dead Celebrities will make you laugh, make you gasp, and may make you write him an angry letter telling him that he's evil for making you laugh. Read interviews with the following celebrities and public figures: Peter Graves, Lucille Ball, Adolf Hitler, Phil Hartman, Ed McMahon, Zelda Rubinstein, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Sherman Hemsley, Jack Kevorkian, Barbara Billingsley, Corey Haim, Helen Keller, Leonard Stern, Osama bin Laden, Anna Nicole Smith, Gary Coleman, Heath Ledger, Patrick Swayze, Aaliyah, Tony Curtis, Greg Giraldo, Leslie Nielsen, Billy Mays, Brittany Murphy, George Carlin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bob Guccione, Amy Winehouse, Roy Scheider, Dick Clark, Mark Twain, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Novak, John Lennon, John Hughes, Amelia Earhart, Dennis Hopper, Michael Jackson, Oral Roberts, Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Jack LaLanne, Kim Jong Il, Whitney Houston, Andy Rooney, Ted Kennedy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Joe Paterno, Nora Ephron, JD Salinger, Ray Bradbury, Princess Diana, and Steve Jobs. Adam Avitable is a blogger who has been writing at Avitable.com for thirteen years. He is a lawyer, a stand-up comedian, and a sucker for redheads. He loves bacon and chocolate but would give those up in a heartbeat just to make the world laugh until it collectively peed itself.

Book excerpt: The lives of more than twenty-five actresses lost before their time—from Marilyn Monroe to Brittany Murphy—explored in a haunting, provocative new work by an acclaimed poet and actress. Amber Tamblyn is both an award-winning film and television actress and an acclaimed poet. As such she is deeply fascinated—and intimately familiar—with the toll exacted from young women whose lives are offered in sacrifice as starlets. The stories of these actresses, both famous and obscure-tragic stories of suicide, murder, obscurity, and other forms of death—inspired this empathic and emotionally charged collection of new poetic work. Featuring subjects from Marilyn Monroe and Frances Farmer to Dana Plato and Brittany Murphy—and paired with original artwork commissioned for the book by luminaries including David Lynch, Adrian Tomine, Marilyn Manson, and Marcel Dzama—Dark Sparkler is a surprising and provocative collection from a young artist of wide-ranging talent, culminating in an extended, confessional epilogue of astonishing candor and poetic command.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profiled on ABC's The View, Good Morning America, and dozens of other national outlets, The Last Days of Dead Celebrities captured our imagination with its intelligent, intimate reporting. John Lennon, Lucille Ball, Orson Welles, Ted Williams, John Denver -- these are just a few of the fifteen celebrities profiled here, each passing in a way that was as unique and distinctive as the life of the individual. Some slipped quietly into the night -- Welles died peacefully in bed with his typewriter still balanced on his stomach -- while others met a more shocking and violent end, as did Lennon and Tupac Shakur. Working with an extraordinary level of access, exclusive material, and the cooperation of the stars family and friends, Mitchell Fink sets the record straight on these very human, very vulnerable public figures.
Download or read book Dead Celebrities Living Icons written by John David Ebert and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth series of literary portraits studies celebrities who died in famous and tragic ways—ways that still resonate as archetypal death scenarios in present day. We know their likes and dislikes, admire their talents, envy them for daring to be what we can't or what we won't. When they are snatched from us, we feel a personal loss and an unwillingness to let go. And so we transform these mere human beings into icons whose stars often shine in death even more brilliantly than in life. Dead Celebrities, Living Icons: Tragedy and Fame in the Age of the Multimedia Superstar explores this phenomenon through a series of essays on 14 men and women who are, arguably, the most famous people of the 20th and early 21st centuries. The book covers the epoch of the celebrity beginning in the 1930s with Howard Hughes and Walt Disney and continues to the present day with the life and death of Michael Jackson. Far more than just a collection of biographies, Dead Celebrities, Living Icons documents the philosophical importance and significance of the contemporary cult of the celebrity and analyzes the tragic consequences of a human life lived in the glare of the media spotlight.

Download or read book The Age of Spectacular Death written by Michael Hviid Jacobsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores death in contemporary society – or more precisely, in the ‘spectacular age’ – by moving beyond classic studies of death that emphasised the importance of the death taboo and death denial to examine how we now ‘do’ death. Unfolding the notion of ‘spectacular death’ as characteristic of our modern approach to death and dying, it considers the new mediation or mediatisation of death and dying; the commercialisation of death as a ‘marketable commodity’ used to sell products, advance artistic expression or provoke curiosity; the re-ritualisation of death and the growth of new ways of finding meaning through commemorating the dead; the revolution of palliative care; and the specialisation surrounding death, particularly in relation to scholarship. Presenting a range of case studies that shed light on this new understanding of death in contemporary culture, The Age of Spectacular Death will appeal to scholars of sociology, cultural and media studies, psychology and anthropology with interests in death and dying.
