Book Description
Celebrity is a kind of OZ. It's an alternate world where a dragon called Fame lives and thrives on the broken souls it devours. To survive and thrive in this land, you need to ride the dragon. Furthermore, although your public image may take years to build, it only takes seconds to break-and forever to repair. Navigating these challenges requires a strong inner compass. With thousands, if not millions of adoring fans, high salaries, a fabulous lifestyle, freebies, and opportunities, few understand how truly terrifying fame and be until they find themselves in the unblinking limelight. Such good fortune often brings pressure, demands, and unrealistic expectations. Winning the Fame Game helps celebrities, and those who will one day be famous, thrive in a world that often goes mad.

Book Description
The areas of publicity, public relations and promotions have been considered to be on the periphery of the media. Yet this revealing new book demonstrates that they form a fundamental component of the media industries, with the decline of hard news being accompanied by the rise of gossip and celebrity. In addition to making a substantial contribution to our understanding of the cultural function of celebrity, Fame Games outlines how the promotion industry has developed and how celebrity is produced, promoted, and traded within the Australian media. While their analysis will inform academic debates on media practice internationally, the authors have taken the unique step of investigating the workings of the Australian promotion industry from within. Interviews with over 20 publicists, promoters, agents, managers, and magazine editors have provided a wealth of information about the processes through which celebrity in Australia is produced.
