He’s written GODS LIKE US: ON MOVIE STARDOM AND MODERN FAME. How have the blessings and curses of celebrity affected the star and the stargazer as well? Why the infatuation with today’s reality and internet celebrities? And why does stardom often lead to tragedy? That’s Topical Currents at 1:00pm on WLRN-HD1 rebroadcast at 7:00pm on WLRN-HD2 and audio on-demand after the live program.
