Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-15 00:00:00 David Roger An insightful collection of theories related to celebrity, spanning the discipline of celebrity studies from religion to politics. I'm not sure how I feel about this book as a standalone read for the study of celebrity, but, if the topic interests you and you're looking for a deeper understanding of celebrity culture, give this short set a try.
