Description

In this book the different manifestations, meanings, and processes of the star and celebrity confessional will be explored.

The confessional is taken to be any moment in which a star, celebrity, or fan engages in revelatory acts that are considered to be authentic, heart-felt, and honest.

These confessional encounters can take place in an interview, through performance and presentation events, online, and in ‘unscripted’ encounters.

A star may break down in tears, or reveal a previously unknown truth about their private life.

However, this authenticity is often found to have been manufactured, or is timed to occur against a new release or product launch.

Alternatively, the desire to confess may be seen to draw attention to the centrality of pseudo forms of emotion in contemporary culture and the obsessional behaviour it produces.

In this book authors consider acts of confession by celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Jade Goody, Britney Spears, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tracey Emin, and Russell Crowe.
