The Most Elementary Reasons Why Such A Great Deal Of People Follow Celebrity Scandals In Magazines by Jon Michaelson
There’s definitely one thing I don’t understand in the least, and that ‘s the appealingness of these celebrity scandals in magazines, I just don’t understand why anyone would bother with how much weight Kim Kardashian lost, or photographs of Vanessa Hudgens on the beach (well I see the charm for males on this one). What is the appeal in squalling over the latest boy band? Or knowing who Paris Hilton has dated of late? Why do some young girls go mad when they watch Justin Bieber on television?
I realize why most young girls like to see the latest fashion and makeup tips, and the latest music news (just like every body). Most guys keep an eye on soccer and stuff, and girls have their own pursuits and hobbies, just like every body. I ‘m not about to sterotype people by saying only guys are into football and all girls are into fashion and makeup, because I know that’s not true, but lots of girls are, just like a great deal of guys might be into football. I do think there’s more to living than having on the latest fashions or having the latest hairdo but my sociology A-level studies taught me that most of this is down to peer pressure, you do something basically because your friends are doing it, and I ‘m not about to assert that I was never a dupe of that, seeing that everyone has been sometimes, no matter what they say. That’s getting just a little off topic, so why do people idolize and obsess over celebrities?
Psychological science has tried to explain the world’s lust for celebrity scandals by speculating that it may be down to evolutionary traits, that several million years before Angelina gave birth to her first child the human brain already had a hunger for page after page of celebrity gossip. William Allman supposed that “Our modern skulls house a stone age mind” through practices that ensure humankind’s survival, such as scanning the night club for an ideal sex partner, taking in gossip, and combating others for a place in the hierarchy. Capitalzing on the human ape’s basest instincts is what moves millions of copies of these tittle tattle magazines weekly. The people worth gossiping are the blond and the prolific. Gossip is so finite and restrained that only the primal force of evolutionary psychological science can explain their permeant hold on the collective imaginativeness.
People are interested in celebrities having reconstructive surgery or having botox shot into the lips since attractiveness is what makes us want to procreate with them in the first place. Beauty attracts us because symmetrical handsomeness are a good marker of healthy offspring that will live to reproduce. You can normally tell if someone has had face lifting, hence the tabloids dismay at the practice and their pleasure in reporting it. Why though, are most readers of these celebrity scandals female? The elementary answer is that girls like to examine the competition and thus relish every bit of news of a celebrity divorce if it brings them one measure closer to fulfilling their celebrity courting illusions. For whichever reason though, most men don’t see the appealingness in celebrity scandals in the least, largely because love and pregnancy doesn’t exactly excite men. In the Paris Hilton sex tape recording scandal, the only grounds that most men were concerned is because they planned to see the sex tape for themselves, like most men do. Girls are normally more sensitive and able to show their feelings so are interested in the social results of scandal’s such as these, while men fundamentally just want to perv.

The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissim Is Seducing America $3.99 Reality TV. Celebutantes. YouTube. Sex Tapes. Gossip Blogs. Drunk Driving. Tabloids. Drug Overdoses. Is this entertainment? Why do we keep watching? What does it mean for our kids? In the last decade, the face of entertainment has changed radically – and dangerously, as addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky and business and entertainment expert Dr. S. Mark Young argue in this eye-opening new book. The soap opera of celebrity behavior we all consume on a daily basis – stories of stars treating rehab like vacation, brazen displays of abusive and self-destructive “diva” antics on TV, shocking sexual imagery in prime time and online, and a constant parade of stars crashing and burning – attracts a huge and hungry audience. As Pinsky and Young show in The Mirror Effect, however, such behavior actually points to a wide-ranging psychological dysfunction among celebrities that may be spreading to the culture at large: the condition known as narcissism. The host of VH1′s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and of the long-running radio show Loveline, Pinsky recently teamed with Young to conduct the first-ever study of narcissism among celebrities. In the process, they discovered that a high proportion of stars suffer from traits associated with clinical narcissism – including vanity, exhibitionism, entitlement, exploitativeness, self-sufficiency, authority, and superiority. Now, in The Mirror Effect, they explore how these stars, and the media, are modeling such behavior for public consumption – and how the rest of us, especially young people, are mirroring these dangerous traits in our own behavior. |

Starstruck: The Business of Celebrity $7.99 How was Nike able to take a gamble on an unknown Michael Jordan and transform itself from a $900 million company to a $9.19 billion company in less than fifteen years? Why did the artist Jeff KoonsÂ’s Balloon Flower (Magenta) sell for a record $25.7 million in 2008? What does the high school football star have in common with the Hollywood headliner? And why should an actor never, ever go to Las Vegas? Celebrity – our collective fascination with particular people – is everywhere and takes many forms, from the sports star, notorious Wall Street tycoon, or film icon, to the hometown quarterback, YouTube sensation, or friend who compulsively documents his life on the Internet. We follow with rapt attention all the minute details of starsÂ’ lives: their romances, their spending habits, even how they drink their coffee. For those anointed, celebrity can translate into big business and top social status, but why do some attain stardom while millions of others do not? Why are we simply more interested in certain people? In Starstruck, Elizabeth Currid-Halkett presents the first rigorous exploration of celebrity, arguing that our desire to “celebrate” some people and not others has profound implications, elevating social statuses, making or breaking careers and companies, and generating astronomical dividends. Tracing the phenomenon from the art world to tabletop gaming conventions to the film industry, Currid-Halkett looks at celebrity as an expression of economics, geography (both real and virtual), and networking strategies. Starstruck brings together extensive statistical research and analysis, along with interviews with top agents and publicists, YouTube executives, major art dealers and gallery directors, Bollywood players, and sports experts. Laying out the enormous impact of the celebrity industry and identifying the patterns by which individuals become stars, Currid-Halkett successfully makes the argument that celebrity is an important social phenomenon and a driving force in the worldwide economy. |

100 Years of Magazine Covers $16.29 If you pick up a copy of this week’s People magazine in 30 years time, think how funny it will seem. Our obsession with celebrities’ private lives, weight loss and reality TV shows, will become ridiculous in the light of tomorrow’s trends. Magazines provide us with snapshots of moments in cultural history. Their disposable nature means that they have to sell quickly, and their covers vie for attention on the shelves with images of beauty, sex, shock, humor and celebrity; presenting our fears, desires and aspirations crudely and honestly. When looked at retrospectively, they become fascinating documents that can tell us more about our past self-image than any academic text. 100 Years of Magazine Covers shows the best of these snapshots throughout the past century and into the present, from fascinating historical archives to cutting-edge contemporary design. With images from Vogue, Life, Time, The New Yorker, Mayfair, and more subversive publications such as Oz and Sniffing Glue, this book will appeal to anyone and everyone with an interest in popular culture, history, and graphic design. |

Andy Warhol $8.97 The sixties were the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll era, and Andy Warhol was its cultural icon. Painter, filmmaker, photographer, philosopher, Warhol was both celebrity and celebrant, the man who put the pop in art. His studio, The Factory, where his free-spirited cast of superstars mingled with the rich and famous, was ground zero for the explosions that rocked American cultural life. And yet for all his fame, Warhol was an enigma: a participant in the excesses of his time who remained a faithful churchgoer, a nearly inarticulate man who was also a great aphorist ( In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes ), an artist whose body of work sizzles with sexuality but whose own body was a source of shame and self-hatred.In his bravura account of Warhol’s life and work, scholar and culture critic Wayne Koestenbaum gets past the contradictions and reveals the man beneath the blond wig and dark glasses. Nimbly weaving brilliant and witty analysis into an absorbing narrative, Koestenbaum makes a convincing case for Warhol as a serious artist, one whose importance goes beyond the sixties. Focusing on Warhol’s provocative, powerful films (many of which have been out of circulation since their initial release), Koestenbaum shows that Warhol’s oeuvre, in its variety of form (films, silkscreens, books, happenings ), maintains a striking consistency of theme: Warhol discovered in classic American images (Brillo boxes, Campbell soup cans, Marilyn’s face) a secret history, the erotic of time and space. |

Beckham $14.99 The Last Word on David Beckham There is only one David Beckham — and it’s not always the one you read about in the newspapers and magazines or see in the movies. From humble East End London beginnings, the boy with prodigious soccer skills grew up to be one of the most gifted athletes of his generation as well as a sex symbol and fashion icon. Along the way he married Spice Girl Victoria Posh Adams, and together they inhabit a celebrity whirlwind of Diana-esque proportions. In Both Feet on the Ground, David talks candidly about the perils of fame (his wife and son were the targets of a notorious kidnapping plot and he is the subject of almost daily tabloid rumors); the struggle to balance his roles as a devoted husband and besotted father with his globetrotting existence as an international soccer star; the behind-the-scenes stories of his most memorable and heartbreaking (if only he could retake that infamous penalty kick against Portugal in Euro 2004) career moments; the controversy surrounding his first year at Real Madrid after his $41 million transfer from Manchester United, the storied English team he joined as a teenager and led for more than a decade; and, finally, his love of America, where he plans to start a soccer school and perhaps, one day, even play professionally. Both Feet on the Ground is David Beckham’s own extraordinary story, told by the man who knows him best — David Beckham. |

Ethnographies Of Law And Social Control $128.71 This volume brings together distinguished scholars and cutting-edge experts in the fields of ethnography, law, and social control to present a comprehensive, insightful, and state-of-the-art overview of the everyday work and activities of legal and social control professionals, functionaries, and participants. The chapters in the collection bring to the foreground the distinctive contributions that ethnographic and ethnomethodologically-informed studies have to offer research on law and social control from theoretical, methodological, and substantive viewpoints. The discussions address a usefully broad and timely variety of themes, including management of the media by prosecutors in the famous Mike Tyson rape case; celebrity stalking and its social control; community protection strategies and legislation for high-risk sex offenders; probation officers’ use of technology to monitor domestic violence offenders; how contemporary immigration rules-in-practice impact the immigration status of skilled professionals; bureaucratic decision-making by federal housing officers; police methods of interrogating suspects through an interpreter; how juvenile courts respond to troublesome youths; Self-change treatment programs for violent offenders in prison; and how jail inmates construct parenthood behind bars. The collection emphasizes the need to consider the organizationally and institutionally specific features and competencies that comprise the legal and social control work under investigation and allows for a deeper appreciation of the practical terms through which people involved in this work make their activities meaningful, carry out their tasks, and organize their interactions. |

Everything You Know $144.66 Willy Muller is an embittered writer of celebrity bios and an equal-opportunity misanthrope. At fifty, he has survived imprisonment for murdering his wife, years of venomous hate mail from the British public and, most recently, the suicide of his daughter Sadie. Willy needs a break, but he’s not going to get it. While recuperating from a heart attack in a Mexican resort with his magnificently silly girlfriend Penny and his vodka-drenched friend Harry, Willy finds himself drawn into a troubling confrontation with the past. As he becomes engrossed in Sadie’s tragic diaries, he reluctantly considers his chaotic family history and the notion that only when you die do you run out of chances to be good .With her scathing with and brilliant ear for dialogue, Zoe Heller has created a darkly humorous story of love and loathing, sex and death, and filial relations gone horribly awry. Acidly funny and deeply affecting, EVERYTHING YOU KNOW marks the debut of a brilliant and immensely stylish young writer. |

Factory Girl $19.95 Factory Girl imaginatively unfolds the comet-like rise and fall of 60s It Girl Edie Sedgwick, the blazing superstar who came to define both the glamour and the tragedy of our celebrity-obsessed culture. Sedgwick appeared to be the quintessential American princess, with her blue blood, her trust fund and her Harvard education, not to mention her ethereal beauty and vivacious charisma. But she was also a lost and fragile little girl; and when she met up with counter-culture anti-hero Andy Warhol, everything changed. Suddenly, Edie found herself at the center of a Pop Art universe bursting with sex, drugs, style and rock ‘n’ roll — and a mad rush for fame and fabulousness that was destined to spin out of control.Arriving into the chaos of mid-60s New York, Edie (Sienna Miller) is taken under the wing of the famously deadpan artist Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce) who sees in her untamed vulnerability the makings of an irresistible muse. Warhol invites Edie into the wild world of The Factory, a former downtown hat factory he has transformed into a bohemian paradise. Here, a rag-tag mix of musicians, poets, artists, actors and misfits gather to create avant-garde movies during the day and throw glam parties all night long. Edie quickly ascends to become the star of Warhol’s movies, an idol at The Factory and a media darling. She is on top of the world when she falls in love with a larger-than-life rock star (Hayden Christensen). But when Edie becomes caught between Warhol’s world of sexy surfaces and her new love, she winds up rejected by both — and once again, set adrift in the modern world. |

Girl Trouble: The True Saga of Superstar Gloria Trevi and the Secret Teenage Sex Cult That Stunned the World $4.83 How did a chart-topping superstar, whose beauty and artistry were sensational enough to make her both a pinup girl and a feminist icon, end up behind bars in a Brazilian prison, accused of helping to mastermind the kidnap, rape, and brainwashing of nearly a dozen teenage girls? In a foreshadowing of today’s American Idol instant-celebrity machine, international superstar Gloria Trevi and her producer-boyfriend Sergio Andrade started a first-of-its-kind talent school for young girls in search of their own chance at the big time. Recruited from the most fervent fans at Gloria’s sold-out concerts, teenagers from across Latin America began showing up at her house in Mexico City. Their numbers grew along with Gloria’s fame, as hit record followed hit record and Gloria became one of Latin America’s top TV and movie attractions. But after a fewyears, bizarre rumors slowly began to spread that the school was actually a front for a sex-slave operation, which tortured and brainwashed the very girls who, more than anything, wanted to be just like their idol, Gloria Trevi. But how could this happen — and with the world watching? Was Gloria Trevi involved, or was she simply at the mercy of her brilliant manager? In the first-ever level-headed look at this scandalous story, award-winning journalist Christopher McDougall recounts how Gloria Trevi went from obscurity to world fame to eluding authorities for two years, before her final discovery and capture in Brazil. In what is considered the oddest twist to an already convoluted tale, Trevi found herself mysteriously pregnant in prison, prompting allegations by Brazilian authorities of an impregnation scheme involving Trevi and a notorious Brazilian gangster. Only later would the shocking truth of the baby’s paternity emerge. Gloria has since been extradited to her native Mexico, where she is currently awaiting what is sure to be that country’s trial of the century. Through exclusive behind-bars in |

Gore Vidal’s America $22.65 Gore Vidal is one of the most significant American writers of the second half of the twentieth century, having produced a large number of best selling novels, essays, plays and pamphlets which have impacted on major political and social debates for fifty years. He is both a serious writer and a television and movie celebrity, whose increasingly acerbic picture of the United States guarantees he is both revered and reviled. Gore Vidal’s America examines the ways in which Vidal’s writings on history, politics, sex and religion throw into focus our understandings of the United States, but also recognizes his versatility and inventiveness as a creative writer, some of whose novels – Julian; Myra Breckinridge; Lincoln; Duluth – are among the important literary works of their time. Ranging from Vidal’s early defence of homosexuality in The City and the Pillar (1948) to his most recent writings on the war in Iraq, this book provides a unique perspective on the evolution of post-World War II American society, politics and literature. As Altman writes: ldquo; Difficult not to see in the results of the 2004 elections, where the Republican right gained in both the White House and the Senate, proof of Vidal’s worse fears, namely that the impact of imperial adventure, big money and religious moralism would increasingly imperil the American Republic. |

Hating Women $1.2 I have been stunned to see the growing misogyny in our culture, and even more shocked to see how little women seem to care about their degradation. –Shmuley Boteach, in Hating Women Even a cursory look at our popular culture reveals an alarming trend of misogyny. Look closer, and it becomes clear that men alone are not to blame; women themselves are playing into the hands of the money-grubbing, morally bankrupt, sex-obsessed culture that is exploiting them as the ultimate cheap commodity. Shmuley Boteach, the bestselling author and leading national radio host, is all for women embracing their feminine power, but he observes that many women are, if effect, doing just the opposite. Paris Hilton actively exposes her flesh and ignorance in equal parts. Pop music princesses like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson rely far more on shameless exhibitionism than musical talent. And look at all the reality television shows — from The Bachelor, Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? and Average Joe to Extreme Makeover — that boost their ratings by portraying women as viciously competitive, desperate for celebrity and riches, imbecilic and ignorant, and all too eager to serve themselves up as generic eye-candy for men. Meanwhile, girls and women across the country are following this lead. In ages past, women were venerated for their nobility, dignity, grace, inner strength, and nurturing qualities, but contemporary society is rapidly reversing those ideals — as well as all the social progress that women have made in recent decades. Today, women typically confuse freedom and power for promiscuity and exploitation, and allow men to treat them as objects of sexualgratification — not as admirable human beings who have the ability to elevate the whole of society. In Hating Women, Boteach asserts that four vulgar archetypes of women have come to saturate our culture: the Greedy Gold Digger, the Publicity Seeking Prostitute, the Brainless Bimbo, and the B |

The I Hate the 21st Century features the likes of David Sedaris on the corporate workplace, Bill Hicks on late-night television, Barbara Ehrenreich on Wal-Mart, Eric Altman on the Fox Network, Greil Marcus on pop music, Richard Preston on Ebola, Eric Schlosser on McDonald’s, Calvin Trillin on parking, Greg Palast on corporate skullduggery and JM Berger on over-excitable weathermen.
