How Celebrity Lives Affect Our Own
Understanding the Impact on Americans’ Public and Private Lives
About this book
Famous: How Celebrity Lives Affect Our Own explores the effects celebrities have on their impressionable audience's lives, from copycat suicides, to postfeminist hypersexuality, to taking questionable celebrity health advice, and more. Celebrity advocacy and philanthropy are analyzed as contributors discuss Brad Pitt's rebuilding effort after Hurricane Katrina, Angelina Jolie's recent casting controversy, and Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest. Star brand building through social media and how that translates to the Broadway stage are also examined, as well as how the privacy laws demanded by celebrities can infringe on their own audience's First Amendment rights.
