5.0 out of 5 stars indepth reading on celebrity image and media control., 5 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This book provides information on a subject which hasn't really been written about in such subjective way before. Chris looks at the way in which the public adore the 'celebrity' and how the varying types of celebrity exsist. An idea which he plays with is the how celebrities are a consumer product and that the media construct images for them so they sell their music, flims. As a fashion student writting a dissertation on how image is constructed for celebrities from past amd present, this book has provided great reading material!
