Our society obsesses over celebrities. Every minute of every day, we are dying to know who they are or are not dating, how hard they are partying, how many babies they are having, or how much money they are spending. In some cases, our society creates celebrities by giving them attention through reality TV, tabloid magazines, or entertainment news. It is through these mediums that we, as Americans, see these stars and thus, infinite hegemonic ideals are created. Celebrities hold American society standard to masculine hegemonic ideals, capitalistic hegemonic ideals, and feminine hegemonic ideals, among many. This blog and the short movie analyze this perspective on celebrities.
