Zee Feed’s Instagram followers made a surprising confession: they do NOT like Beyoncé. Their reasoning? She’s too superior, too unnapproachable, too private. Does this mean the era of aspirational, superstar celebrity is over?
Sarah Fitzmaurice, a journalist who has reported on celebrities for some of the world’s biggest media companies including Daily Mail, joins Debatable to discuss what the evolution of celebrity culture says about all of us.
In the episode:
- What do we want from celebrities: aspiration or authenticity?
- How to get a good interview from a star: Kylie Minogue vs Kylie Jenner
- The backlash to Billie Eilish’s bikini photo
- Our love or hate of stars is all about us and not about them
- Celebrity drama helps us understand our own feelings about the world
