Star Theory

Richard Dyer claimed that a 'star' is an image/ illusion created soley for the audience, not a real person. They are merely just objects used to sell a particular image to an audience based on the strength of their beliefs and image. The 'star image' is based on 2 paradoxes; they must be both ordinary and extraordinary, and they must be simultaneously present and absent. This has been argued to be one of the most influencial factors of creating a successful magazine.
