Hilary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie and Madonna? Whattt? Sources have reported that the presidental candidate may be related to our girl Angie. Whether the rumor is true or not, Hilary is thrilled to possibly being related to such a strong, independent woman. Hilary said it would be an honor to be related to the humanitarian. There have been reports of other celebs being related to political figures. For example, Angie's beau has been reported to be related to Obama...what a coincidence. How true are these rumors? And what would both the celebrity and the politican have to gain?
I think Gamson's celebrity machine is responsible here. The machine is working PR behind the scenes to involve the celebrities in the popular elections. The political candidates have recently been everywhere in the media. These stories are an inventive way to link the celebrity to that spotlight. After all, the goal of the celebrity machine is to gain notoriety and keep the spotlight for their celebrity. The media market is always thinking of new ways to meet their goal. Kudos on this one. What new strategy will be next?

Celebrity figure of Angelina Jolie is perceived in two very different ways. One side claims her to be responsible for ruining a marriage and the other as a great humanitarian. Which view is correct? We may never know the real Angelina. As Gamson discusses, the celebrity machine is very calculated and hid from the public. The fuss surrounding Angelina also illustrates the importance we place on celebrity.
Who is to blame for the breakup of Brad and Jen's marriage?

- My name is Elizabeth(or Liz) Robinson. I am undergraduate student at Lehigh University in good old South Beth Pennsylvania. I am a sociology major and currently working on a business minor as well. I hope to use what I have learned in this class "Mass Communication and Society" and previous sociology courses to enter the human resources department for a large company. My interests here at Lehigh include athletics(especially cross country and track), music, and television like many college students. I am learning a great deal about the media and how we take it for granted in my course this semester.
