  • Narratives of Celebrity in the Celebrity Big Brother'race'
    http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/elj/eslj/issues/volume7/number1/holmes Contents ISSN 1748-944X Abstract ‘Jade’s Back, and This Time she’s Introduction The Scandal – Setting the Scene Famous’: Narratives of Celebrity in ‘“I think I have a good charisma”’, the Celebrity Big Brother‘Race’ she answers’: Narratives of Fame in Row Reality TV Jade’s Life is Just Goody: Moving on Su Holmes from Big Brother Reader in Television Studies, University of East From Media-ocracy to Aristocracy: A Anglia Class Act? Jade in Free-fall: From ‘Hero to Zero’ ABSTRACT Conclusion Prior to the Celebrity Big Brother ‘ race’ row in 2007, Bibliography British Reality TV star, Jade Goody, was recurrently held up as emblematic of the ‘democratisation’ of celebrity. Yet this controversy gives us cause to question a narrative of populist democracy where the circulation of celebrity status is concerned. This article explores the construction of Jade’s image before, during and after the row, examining how it offers a unique insight into the relationship between Reality TV, celebrity and discourses of selfhood in contemporary culture - especially as these are mapped across the categories of gender and class. Indeed, Jade’s representational journey points to some of the cultural tensions which surround the fascination with Reality TV stars. They are often required to demonstrate the retention of an essential ‘working-class glitz beneath the glamour’ (Biressi and Nunn 2005, p. 146), while (like many ‘essential’ identities), this core can also be cast in negative terms – as the ‘real’ identity which must be (re)assumed if social order is to prevail.

  • THE TRUTH ABOUT JADE Jade Goody Died As She Lived — in the Media Spotlight
    Cover Story Jade Goody THE TRUTH ABOUT JADE Jade Goody died as she lived — in the media spotlight. But did its glare obscure the fact that she could have survived? Investigation: David James Smith n her own account, Jade Goody’s “la-la” was examined at the Princess Alexandra hospital in Harlow just before she went to India at the beginning of August last year. The hospital gave Goody the okay to travel to Mumbai, where she had been signed up to appear in the local version of the reality-television show Big Brother — known in India as Bigg Boss. Almost as an afterthought, in Goody’s version of events, the hospital invited her to have a cervical smear before she went on her way. Goody submitted to the test, but was still unhappy at the intense pains down her leg and the excessive vaginal bleeding she was suffering: on their own, either could be a warning of the cancer; taken together they ought to have been a red alert. At the age of 27, Jade’s entire existence was based on the fame her chippy cockney persona had earned her. She would say she had been “nothing” before she became famous as a Big Brother contestant in 2002. Big Brother had created Jade, and Big Brother had destroyed Jade — Jade Goody on her exposing her to public hatred and ridicule after she was wedding day, February 22, accused of racism during Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.
