FREDRIC MARCH
attributed, IMDb
Ah, everybody wanna pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars
Yeah, but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me 'cause I don't believe in anything
And I, I wanna be someone to believe
To believe, to believe
Yeah
COUNTING CROWS

Treat me tonight like a movie star
Who never die
Always surrounded by girls like you
Kill all my loneliness

Mmmm I got a plan
Yeah, you got a plan
Gotta plan ahead
I got a plan that'll make you a star
Make you go rich, make you go far
Take your life and throw it on a bus
Make you feel like you make a fuss
Bright ideas and a fast hill too
Make you feel like you got feet of glue

And I'm tryin' to make some friends
So if you see that movie star and me
If you see my picture in a magazine
Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV

Outta' me
COUNTING CROWS
"Los Angeles"
Stardom is just such an access point. It is here we meet, non-reciprocally, the 'faces' who help us to form our social and personal identities.

He asks if she's a movie star
Her eyes light up they're going far
No time for a room -- it happened too soon
Now they're makin' love in her rent-a-car
JIMMY BUFFETT
"Love in Decline", Riddles in the Sand
Stardom is the perfect vehicle for cultural production in a mass-mediated, modern world. What better lure than consistent, recognizable, attractive, marketable commodities available for public display that can ensure relative predictability in a business that is historically unpredictable?
STEPHEN HINERMAN
"Star Culture", Culture in the Communication Age
Don't be so obsessed with stardom that you miss out on success.
RASHEED OGUNLARU
attributed, Great Reflections on Success
Hollywood stardom is industrially produced fame, generated at numerous points across film development, principal photography, post-production, marketing, physical distribution, exhibition, reviewing and consumption. Rather than the source, the individual is the outcome in the production of stardom.
PAUL MCDONALD
Hollywood Stardom
Stardom is a complex signifying system overlaid onto the identity of an actual person and is a product of mass media circuits in which everything that is said or written about a given public person produces a mediated persona that seems real, that seems connected to an actual historical person, but which is actually a tissue of discourse and images.
JOSEPHINE DOLAN
"THE QUEEN: Ageing Femininity & Monarchy", Aging, Performance, and Stardom: Doing Age on the Stage of Consumerist Culture
I did what I could to inflate the rumor I was on my way to stardom. What I was on my way to, by any mathematical standards known to man, was oblivion, by way of obscurity.
