Book Description
A macho, temperamental superstar becomes infatuated with his lovely leading lady during the filming of a high-budget murder movie, only to find his feelings aren't returned, at least not as he'd expect, in the book HOLLYWOOD HORRIBLE. Antonio Stellard, the movie Adonis, is the selfish and slow sort of sexually endowed guy that you wouldn't take home to mother--for fear that he'd have her winding and whirling beneath the sheets later that evening! He's a bad boy with an even worse rep. And, he's starring in the upcoming fall film, A Hollywood Horror. The gorgeous Magdalene Parker is his exact opposite-sweet, caring, community-involved, and intelligent. Naturally, after spending so much time together, rebellious Antonio would be attracted to philanthropic Magdalene, a woman the likes of which he has never encountered.Antonio sees Magdalene as his fallen angel, sent to change his roguish ways. Little does he know, everyone has dark secrets. Maggie sees Antonio as a swatting nuisance at best, even though he sometimes shows slight sincerity and the potential for something better. Little does she know, everyone has dark secrets. Maybe Antonio's bad boy façade isn't an act at all. Maybe Magdalene's altruistic exterior cradles something malicious. After working intimately on a film set for nine months, stars should be familiar with each other. However, in the deceitful world of Hollywood, some things are horrible.

Book Description
Written by an expert in media, popular culture, gender, and sexuality, this book surveys the common archetypes of Internet users—from geeks, nerds, and gamers to hackers, scammers, and predators—and assesses what these stereotypes reveal about our culture's attitudes regarding gender, technology, intimacy, and identity. The Internet has enabled an exponentially larger number of people—individuals who are members of numerous and vastly different subgroups—to be exposed to one other. As a result, instead of the simple "jocks versus geeks" paradigm of previous eras, our society now has more detailed stereotypes of the undesirable, the under-the-radar, and the ostracized: cyberpervs, neckbeards, goths, tech nerds, and anyone with a non-heterosexual identity. Each chapter of this book explores a different stereotype of the Internet user, with key themes—such as gender, technophobia, and sexuality—explored with regard to that specific characterization of online users. Author Lauren Rosewarne, PhD, supplies a highly interdisciplinary perspective that draws on research and theories from a range of fields—psychology, sociology, and communications studies as well as feminist theory, film theory, political science, and philosophy—to analyze what these stereotypes mean in the context of broader social and cultural issues. From cyberbullies to chronically masturbating porn addicts to desperate online-daters, readers will see the paradox in popular culture's message: that while Internet use is universal, actual Internet users are somehow subpar—less desirable, less cool, less friendly—than everybody else.
