Dyer has written a large amount on celebrities within music and film. What he states is that a Star is an image but not a person. This person is 'fake' and is designed to be extraordinary and different from the 'average' person. This star is often published via advertisements magazines famous events etc. The Star uses all technology to promote him/herself, such as the internet, TV, movies magazines etc. Dyers star theory is based around 2 paradoxes.
Paradox one - The star must be ordinary and extraordinary
Paradox two - The star must be simultaneously present and absent to consumer (private life that audience wants to know more about)
