The Star Of Star Image

This trend is Liu’s opportunity to get rid of either sexploitation or a dragon lady. Elementary is for her transformation of media. She chose to play Joan Watson who is more than a sexploitation or action, but a classic adapted character. As Richard Dyer suggests, ‘that stars are representations of persons which reinforce, legitimate or occasionally alter the prevalent conceptions of what it is to be a human being in this society’ (1979b: 31). Thus far I have discussed the role of such personae in films. However, major sites for elaborating star personae exist outside films in studio promotion departments, publicity agencies, newspaper and broadcast journalism, TV chat shows, film criticism, fan magazines and so on. The circulation of subsidiary star texts provides opportunity for gossip and speculation, serving, in John Ellis’ words, as a kind of ‘moral barometer’. Generally, ‘the way you progress in your life is how you progress artistically – especially as an actor, where you bring such complicated and personal experiences into what you do everyday’ (Tseng

The existence of the motion picture industries has been a primary source of media information. In fact, video studio gave birth to some magazines. The is so much obsessed with celebrity and star news leaving the media personnel with no option but dig star gossips as much as they can. The movie industry has been around for quite some time. However, over time it can be appreciated that cultures have regularly changed as time goes by (Thomas 67). Values to be depicted on in a movie vary widely as well as the actors. To get a clear picture of these varying cultures and values, it is important to compare two Hollywood stars; One before the year 1980 and the other one our current time.

Media sensationalism creates an interesting phenomenon; more often than not, the comments made by varying levels of popular culture stars become catch phrases, buzz words, and the be-all end-all definition of an individual. These occurrences happen, for better or worse, and an individual becomes intrinsically linked to those statements for the rest of their living life and well after. Sometimes these comments are uplifting and promote the betterment of man; but sometimes they serve to berate or belittle a group as well, often times with very little thought being put into what has been disseminated. In either case, they are merely the opinions of an individual who happens to be famous. At times, the subject of opinion may hold little

Looking towards the media with regards to the spectacle and particularly the spectacle in relation to celebrities, I find that when the spectacle focuses around celebrities, they usuaually focus on their rise and falls of being a star. Celebrities are everywhere, and the public strive on them, whether they are a good influence or bad influence. The public is attracted to anything celebrity related, they want to be consumed by the gossip. Therefore, I choose to do my media review on Amanda Bynes on the Showbiz Tonight show clip.

Women of this generation look to female celebrities not just as someone well known, but these women are also idolized for how they look, how they think and how they act.

There’s a recent New York Times article I came across that laments how the rise of the superhero genre has conflated actor-stardom with character-stardom. The article itself doesn’t really chase down the points too well, but the central gist (as far as I can see) is that in the recent slate of films, characters have come to trump actors. As Wesley Morris suggests in the article, when you watch Oceans Eleven, it’s George Clooney doing all the cool stuff as Danny Ocean; but when you watch Rush, you don’t see Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt, you see Thor as James Hunt. And as more big name actors get roped in to superhero films (Cate Blanchett’s gonna be in Thor: Ragnarok!), it’s more actors being roped in to playing a specific character.

Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.

Celebrities have changed the way that people view each other and themselves because of their flawless appearances on all of social media.

When one speaks of Marilyn Monroe, and especially of her early career, the old adage 'a star is born' rings very true. This fantastic and talented woman, who once again, so may decades after her death, graces the cover of Vanity Fair for this year's June issue, never ceases to captivate audiences with her charm. Many have tried to pinpoint what Ms. Monroe had that other actresses do not, in terms of creating this type of fascination, and have certainly agreed that she has been a sex symbol like no other. The June 2012 cover of Vanity Fair proves that after almost half a century Ms. Monroe still lives in audiences' hearts, and continues to fascinate. (Vanity Fair, 2012) The face of the actress is so recognizable it has been copied in sculpture, art, and even countless of similar magazine covers featuring models, singers and actresses throughout the past decades.

Many actresses spark inspiration in their influential performances. For example, the ladies that star in the musical Hamilton. “In a musical about Founding Fathers, Miranda has placed a pair of vividly imagined female characters, played by dynamite performers…” (Schulman). Hamilton is just one musical that really showcases what women can achieve. Actresses like Emma Watson have used their fame to create influential platforms. Watson has become a goodwill ambassador for UN women, and an active campaigner for education, gender, and racial equal rights. “It is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals,”- Emma Watson. Emma Watson is just one example of what women in the acting industry can do with their fame. It is strange to believe that without the inequalities women faced, there would not be amazing actresses, writers, producers, and directors that people know and enjoy today. Even though some women still face discriminations, women’s rights in the acting industry has improved significantly over time compared to how it was in past generations.

Before she asks her audience to use their platforms to do good, Streep further elevates each actor in the room, regardless of their merit, to be on the same level of distinguishability. “But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places,” (Streep, para.3). This statement is common knowledge, but she elaborates as she goes on to describe the birthplaces of various Hollywood stars. From Ohio to Jerusalem, South Carolina to Ethiopia, Streep utilizes logos by listing off different homelands to prove that even A-list celebrities come from hometowns just as modest as up-and-coming starlets. By doing so, her audience members feel as equally respected as award winning actress Streep which makes them feel equally as capable to bring about change.

Our universe is made of millions of objects, many of them, we wonder how they became part of this planet we live on. The star is one of these objects, sometimes we wonder how they maintain their brightness and attractiveness. The main sequence stars, red dwarf stars and white dwarf stars are some of these objects. The stages of each star are very different and have different variations of life. The life of each star varies being that the longest a star can survive is up to trillions of years. There are trillions of stars that sparkle in the sky and each star are very different from each other and are very unique. Main sequence stars, Red dwarf stars and the white dwarf stars are all very unique in every way.

At the beginning of the 21st century we are all living in a world of celebrities, who are increasingly playing powerful roles in politics, economics, and naturally in society as a whole. The term celebrity has been around since the early 1840s in our society, however the meaning of the word has alternated in the contemporary Western world. Garland stated in his article that celebrity culture was already in place at least 2,000 years ago; “celebrity has a very long history and many of the indications of a celebrity culture were already in place in classical antiquity.” (484). Even though some authors in the 1800s and 1900s can be considered literary celebrities, it definitely does not compare to

The first effect of celebrities is the way they change tweens and teens’ s mind about an ideal image. Celebrities who always appear in front of many people with beautiful appearances and perfect bodies. Everyone usually want to have a perfect body like a “S-size” or “Coca - cola bottle”. And the famous people become their ideal models.

"Marco," Star starts, her excitement beginning to dim as they walked on. "I 'm sorry, for this I mean." She gave a glance at the back of Marco 's head, stepping quickly to reach his side. "I never wanted this to turn out so badly."
