Following the saying ''No dream without drive'', before reaching the lavish pop star status she has rightfully earned today, Gaga was a go-go dancer for almost a year - in order to financially support herself further, along with her daytime job as a waitress in New York. She stated that whilst she danced, she would ask to play her songs in order to 'infiltrate' the underground scene in an attempt to make herself more known. Demonstrating both her hardworking attitude and innovative mind, she proves herself as an unmissable force to be reckoned with from the get-go of her career. After writing songs for artist such as The Pussycat Dolls and Fergie, she caught the attention of music producer Akon, the take-off point where her stardom truly launched with her renowned debut album - The Fame.

Gaga has established her star image through her fashion choices, though none are ever the same, it is this lack of set aesthetic that makes her so recognisable - her camp unpredictability. She arguably outdid herself at the 2010 VMAs where she dressed head to toe in an outfit made of real raw meat.

It is a truism to suggest that celebrity pervades all areas of life today. The growth and expansion of celebrity culture in recent years has been accompanied by an explosion of studies of the social function of celebrity and investigations into the fascination of specific celebrities. And yet fundamental questions about what the system of celebrity means for our society have yet to be resolved: Is celebrity a democratization of fame or a powerful hierarchy built on exclusion? Is celebrity created through public demand or is it manufactured? Is the growth of celebrity a harmful dumbing down of culture or an expansion of the public sphere? Why has celebrity come to have such prominence in today’s expanding media? Milly Williamson unpacks these questions for students and researchers alike, re-examining some of the accepted explanations for celebrity culture. The book questions assumptions about the inevitability of the growth of celebrity culture, instead explaining how environments were created in which celebrity output flourished. It provides a compelling new history of the development of celebrity (both long-term and recent) which highlights the relationship between the economic function of celebrity in various media and entertainment industries and its changing social meanings and patterns of consumption.
