He reviews the history of celebrity, its analysis, and its cultural functions, then discusses the promotions and publicity industries that produce it, the contemporary trend in television where the manufacture of celebrity is related to the generation of new formats and products (such as reality TV), the role of mass market magazines and tabloids, and the modes and purposes of celebrity, with discussion ranging from the public reaction to the death of Princess Diana to the appeal of celebrity websites.
