Introduction to the special issue on social media influencers
Social media influencers, content creators and micro-celebrities can be read as new forms of contemporary celebrity, and yet their rise to fame can be traced back to a century-old film star system. With this in mind, this introduction to the Special Issue on ‘Social Media Influencers’ offers a brief overview of pre-existing fame cultures, the importance of public curiosity and the significance of authenticity, or at least the perception of authen…
Fop, bounder and post-feminist father
Extant research on Hugh Grant’s star image routinely combines issues of masculinity, sexuality and national identity. Such work concludes that the stumbling, stammering English gent that he mastered for the character of Charles Thacker in Four Weddings and a Funeral or the dishonourable bounder and morally reprehensible cad that he played so brilliantly in Bridget Jones’s Diary is a perfect fit with the man himself. Either way, this article will …
Conforming to or Confounding the Beauty Myth
Despite being the largest marginalized identity group in the world, disabled people are routinely overlooked or ignored in the world of fashion, beauty, and advertising. With this in mind, the article examines the ways in which a model born with Down syndrome can be seen to reassert both the fragility and fixity of the female beauty myth, opening up broader debates about diversity and inclusivity in fashion and beauty advertising. This article co…
Meghan Markle and the royal pregnancy announcement
Celebrity miscarriage listicles
The ways in which celebrities speak about their experiences of pregnancy loss could provide a platform from which women in the audience can make sense of their own loss, and go some way towards helping, not the pain or grief per se, but the shame, silencing, guilt and loneliness that is often said to follow the experience. This article will examine the ways in which pregnancy loss is presented in popular celebrity listicles and, drawing on extant…
The hierarchy of celebrity childbirth stories
Extant literature from within the fields of star studies and gender theory remind us that women have long been interested and indeed invested in the sartorial tastes, beauty regimes and diet programmes of film stars. Likewise, female celebrities have given us access to their homes, fridges and handbags in order to seek the attentions and possible approval of the woman in the traditional women’s magazine and gossip sector. More recently a myriad o…
Masculinit(ies) and the Male Celebrity Feminist
There has been a growing interest over the past decade in famous women who have labeled themselves, or others as feminist, with further comment being paid to those who are more or less deserving of the label in question. It is only more recently that we have seen the media spotlight focus on those male celebrities who have spoken openly about their interest in gender equality. There are a small number of men from the film, television, and sportin…
This is not how cancer looks
Jade Goody was publicly diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, and prior to her death in 2009 she remained a permanent presence in the celebrity and tabloid press. And although popular commentary refers to the ‘Jade Effect’ whereby young women, who otherwise would not have gone for testing, are seeking out cervical screening programs after the death of Jade Goody, it is important that we understand the ways in which tabloid readers engage with c…
Absent, Ineffectual and Intoxicated Mothers
Teen television is an important source of information and identity for adolescents, especially concerning issues that are of interest to the “tween” and teenage audience, such as sex, sexuality, friendship, family problems and impending adulthood. Therefore, it is fruitful to examine the representation of motherhood and the maternal role in contemporary teen programming and consider the ways in which such depictions can be seen to inform teens ab…
Anxiety, helplessness and 'adultescence
Although much work on the long-running Charmed series focuses on the popular appeal of the programme for the teen or 'tween' audience, this article examines the ways in which the show can be seen to appeal to the young adult audience. It argues that those themes, characters and intertextual reference points that appeal to the adolescent viewer also can be seen to speak to the twenty to thirtysomething generation who have turned their back on marr…
Spray more, get more
There has been a recent growth in both the advertising of male grooming products and the sales of such products in Britain and, as such, it is important that we examine the representations of men, masculinity and the male role that are being used to advertise and indeed sell this new and growing market sector. After all, advertising cannot help but influence both our purchasing decisions and our wider understanding of sex and gender roles in soci…
Reading heat
Although the growth of celebrity gossip publications has recently outstripped that of the traditionally orientated women's weeklies, comparatively little work exists to account for the meaning and pleasures afforded by these particular texts. Although current research has proposed a textual reading of these magazines, this work has yet to engage with the ways in which audiences make use of such titles. Therefore, the present article will look at …
Charmed
The author analyzes the appeal of the supernatural teen series Charmed for the grown woman in the audience. She suggests that, although teenagers and little girls are regular fans of the show, the more mature female audience responds to the ideas of sisterhood and style that are routinely showcased in the Charmed universe
