    Fame Attack : the Inflation of Celebrity and Its Consequences

    Rojek, Chris. "The Icarus Complex." Fame Attack: The Inflation of Celebrity and Its Consequences. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2012. 142–160. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 1 Oct. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781849661386.ch-009>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 1 October 2021, 16:03 UTC. Copyright © Chris Rojek 2012. You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 9 The Icarus Complex he myth of Icarus is the most powerful Ancient Greek parable of hubris. In a bid to escape exile in Crete, Icarus uses wings made from wax and feathers made by his father, the Athenian master craftsman Daedalus. But the sin of hubris causes him to pay no heed to his father’s warnings. He fl ies too close to the sun, so burning his wings, and falls into the Tsea and drowns. The parable is often used to highlight the perils of pride and the reckless, impulsive behaviour that it fosters. The frontier nature of celebrity culture perpetuates and enlarges narcissistic characteristics in stars and stargazers. Impulsive behaviour and recklessness are commonplace. They fi gure prominently in the entertainment pages and gossip columns of newspapers and magazines, prompting commentators to conjecture about the contagious effects of celebrity culture upon personal health and the social fabric. Do celebrities sometimes get too big for their boots and get involved in social and political issues that are beyond their competence? Can one posit an Icarus complex in some types of celebrity behaviour? This chapter addresses these questions by examining celanthropy and its discontents (notably Madonna’s controversial adoption of two Malawi children); celebrity health advice (Tom Cruise and Scientology); and celebrity pranks (the Sachsgate phone calls involving Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross).

And today we're talking about episode 14 from season seven. It's called “Two Weeks Out.” JOSH: That's right. It was directed by “happy face or sad face” Laura Innes and it was written by Lawrence O'Donnell. It first aired on March 19th, 2006. HRISHI: In this episode the election looms closer and the two candidates keep crossing the country and each other's paths. JOSH: Zeugma! HRISHI: Hey. JOSH: [laughing] It's been a long time. HRISHI: It has been. JOSH: Oh God. I've been waiting for this moment.

HRISHI: An octopus flentl [Josh laughs]. The Santos campaign is trying to capitalize on its momentum by making a big bet on California. But unbeknownst to them, Senator Vinick has his own California strategy, one his own team disagrees with. We're getting down to the wire here and it's still anyone's ball game. JOSH: Yeah, that's the show. HRISHI: I wanted to just note that Alan Alda won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for the season based in part on his performance in this episode. JOSH: How about that. He's good as always. HRISHI: He is. JOSH: Did you like how, as always, they flash the title of the episode and then I think they flash Chicago Convention Center and then they flash 14 days before election [Hrishi laughs] just in case you didn't know how two weeks broke down into days.

HRISHI: And today we’re talking about “The Wake Up Call,” from season 6. It’s episode 14. JOSH: It was written by friend-of-the-podcast Josh Singer. It was directed by possibly-hates-me Laura Innes. HRISHI: True? JOSH: Well, you know that story. HRISHI: Remind me? JOSH: When she gave me her whole spiel on going into a scene, how she wanted it to work, and I responded with, “So bottom line, happy face or sad face?” HRISHI: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. JOSH: And she was not amused. HRISHI: Right, right, right. JOSH: This episode first aired on Feh-bruary 9th, 2005. HRISHI: In this episode, an Iranian fighter jet accidentally shoots down a British passenger plane, killing everyone on board, but C.J.’s reluctant to wake up the president, because he is dealing with his MS and he needs a lot of sleep and he stayed up really late the night before talking to Christopher Lloyd, playing real-life law professor Lawrence Lessig. JOSH: Yes. That synopsis even I think, points to one of my problems with this episode. It sounds silly. [both laugh] “Killing everyone on board, but C.J. doesn’t want to wake the president because he needs his sleep.” HRISHI: And the reason why Lawrence Lessig is at the White House is because he and Toby are working to try and help representatives of Belarus who are trying to craft a constitution for their country.

HRISHI: And I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. Today we’re talking about season one, episode nineteen of The West Wing : “ Let Bartlet Be Bartlet ”. And coming up later, the United States Under Secretary of the Army, the honorable Patrick Murphy, is going to be joining us to talk about this episode. JOSH: It first aired on April 26th, 2000. The story is by Peter Parnell and Patrick Caddell, which rhymes and that’s cute. The teleplay is by Aaron Sorkin and the episode was directed by Laura Innes, whom you know as an actor from her work as Kerry Weaver in 249 episodes of ‘ER’ and all sorts of other things. HRISHI: Part of the John Wells family then. JOSH: That is true. I have a ‘Laura Innes Directs’ anecdote- HRISHI: From a later episode. JOSH: Yes. It’s not a spoiler of any kind, except that I’ll probably tell the story again two years from now when we get to it. HRISHI: Sure, let’s hear it. JOSH: ok. So she directed an episode that I acted in, seasons after this one, and she’s a very serious director and I’m a not very serious actor and so Laura came up to me to discuss a scene we were about to shoot and she had really thought it through, all the different beats and psychologically where the characters were at, and she kind of talked me through it and said “This is my take and I think what you’re thinking here is this and that sort of reflects on - remember what happened last season - and I think what you’re trying to accomplish here...” and this and that and she kinda gave a five minute spiel and then I said “So..

    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.
