Cult Of The Celebrity

I personally consume quite a bit of celebrity driven media, things such as:

Music cds





Dvds especially films based on dancing





Clothing Lines





Magazines especially ones specfic to RnB and Hip Hop





The reason why I consume these texts is because of the celebrity because if it is an artist that I really like I will purchase everything they have. But, also if I enjoy their work like in a film I would watch the film many times and possibly buy it on dvd. Knowing about celebrities is what makes people purchase any text.

Looking at an edition of a national tabloid, in what ways are celebrity related stories presented in this edition? Account for these representations

In tabloids such as the Sun celebrity gossip seems to be the main feature for example, if David Beckham buys something from a local shop it will be posted all over the newspaper, the reason for this is because they know that people are eager to know what their favourite celebrities are doing and what they are buying.

For example on The Suns website, the homepage features a lot of celebrity gossip for example there is a feature of Posh's new haircut and you can actually watch pictures of her with this new haircut. The Sun newpaper know this will cause a freenzy within society because many teengae girls and women would be interested to see how she has changed her hair and possibly decide to copy her exact hair style.

Also, there is a feature about celebritoes and their sex life. There is an article based on Gordan and Peter's sex life she says ' we've been at it like rabbits'. The audiences response would be read this article because they like to know the nitty gritty about the celebrities personal life, even if it is knowing whom they are getting initimate with.
