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.
