The representation of young female celebrities in reality TV and gossip magazine
I have chosen to study this topic, because recently there has been a raise in young female celebrities on TV and all over gossip magazines,audiences are exposed to the life of celebrities everyday through the use of the media and celebrities are in demand as they are very popular and well known amongst a wide range of audiences.Young celebrities are often referred to 'wannabes as they all seen to want to 'WAGS' and to be a successful celebrity with a famous footballer as a husband. The influences the audiences and the wannabe wags life style is often misleading. I need to explore the issues and debates surrouding women in reailty TV shows and Gossip magainze.
