Star as celebrity


For a star as celebrity, their lifestyle are more often in the limelight and receive much attention compared to their work. This could start off with the attention of a kind action or a criticism action and could end in the other way it started. Things gone big depending on how the media magnifies the issue and the rate of recurrence of the celebrity made on each different media. Their popularity often puts their work into oblivion and focus on highlighting on their lifestyle entertaining the audience.

Star could start out as a profession or performer and when their personal lifestyle received much attention of the crowd, they slowly become a star as celebrity. Quoting from Joe Moran’s book, Star Author, he mentioned that a celebrity creates from a person that leads him or her to become a capitalist society in different ways. Those ways may be different but they are commonly used as market stimuli, a representation of idealistic social type, as a focal point for the purpose of keeping attention of the audience and so on. Nowadays in the fandom culture as well, celebrity slowly becomes their identity, their role model and other possible way that they are proud of.
