Sinopsis

Hollywood Scandals Exposed delves into the captivating, often unsettling, history of the film industry's controversies. It examines on-set conflicts, censorship battles, and personal lives clashing with public expectations. These scandals, far from mere sensationalism, reflect evolving social mores and the power dynamics between celebrity and society. Scandals provide insight into ethical dilemmas, the pressures of fame, and shifting boundaries of acceptable behavior. For instance, the transition from silent films to talkies brought new censorship challenges. The book explores major controversies, starting with early Hollywood and the transition from silent films, then moves into the Golden Age, detailing the studio system's control and moral clauses. Post-studio era scandals, including drug use and sexual misconduct, receive significant attention. Finally, it examines contemporary scandals and the impact of social media, including the #MeToo movement, on reporting and addressing incidents. The book analyzes these events using studio records, court documents, and film theory, offering a nuanced, insightful exploration of forces that have shaped the film industry.

From Chalk Board to Neon Lights...

Russell C. Brennan

Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched.
This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage.
It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish.
Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label.
. He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.

Beethoven in Words and Music

Davinia Caddy

When we think of Ludwig van Beethoven images of a stormy and passionate but tortured genius are brought to mind, alongside the transformative effect of his work on musical history. All of these things are true, but no artist lives in a vacuum, and even music that opens a portal onto 'the infinite realm of the spirit' has its wider context. Illustrated with music from each period, this enlightening life history tells us about Beethoven's place in society from his earlier career as a fine pianist, his life on the edge of the Napoleonic war, his professional triumphs and many romantic misfortunes, and that famous defiance of deafness and declaration that he would 'seize Fate by the throat'. The musical excerpts included the 'Pathétique' and 'Moonlight' Sonatas, 'Diabelli' Variations, Symphonies Nos. 2,3,6 and 9, 'Emperor' Concerto, Missa solemnis and Fidelio, among many others.
