This website explains how celebrities are mainly represented in the media. The website shows that the stress is overwhelmingly on relationships, consumption and leisure, and work is quite minor when it comes to celebrities and what is emphasised about them. Thus, the media is able to control what is injected in the audience and construct certain aspects of reality.
This website directs you to a book called "Media and Adolescence", which explores the relation between teenagers and celebrities. and how teenagers "model" celebrity behaviour.
This website again shows how celebrities influences teenage girls and reinforces Althusser's theory of the "Hpodermic syringe model" signaling that what teenagers see on TV or read in magazines is what they digest and passively accept to be true.
This website shows how people in a tender age of 13-14 years are easily influenced by celebrity endorsements, which ultimately makes body image and materialistic needs their top priority. This shows the effects media can have on audiences especially teenagers as they are more submissive and more likely to conform to the popular culture.
