Opis

The popular definition of celebrity characterizes the Celebrity as a product of manufacture rather than merit. This book explores the process by which celebrity is created, using the first seven seasons of Fox Television's American Idol as a framework through which to analyze how celebrity is defined, generated, nurtured, and intensified.
