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.

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). -

Brits Choose Holiday Partners for Sun, Sand, And… a Laugh Submitted By: Pr-Sending-Enterprises Friday, 15 September 2006
Brits choose holiday partners for sun, sand, and… a laugh Submitted by: pr-sending-enterprises Friday, 15 September 2006 British holidaymakers would pick fun over glamour when it comes to holiday companions according to research by Barclays Insurance (http://www.barclays.co.uk/insurance). Northern comedian Peter Kay has topped the list of celebrities Brits would most like to go on holiday with, relegating homegrown starlet Keira Knightley and Hollywood heart throb George Clooney to second and third places. Elsewhere in the list, Kylie Minogue and Angelina Jolie are the only other non-Brits in a top ten dominated by British personalities. Whilst good looks and the fun factor clearly play an important part when choosing Britain’s favourite holiday companion it seems that most people remain loyal to their local heroes – Scots favoured Sean Connery whilst the North of England was the most supportive of Peter Kay. Unsurprisingly, good-looking and successful members of the opposite sex made up the top ideal holiday companions for both male and female respondents with the exception of all-round favourite Peter Kay who appeared second in the lists for both sexes. However it appears that a large number of male holidaymakers would prefer to take a fellow fella with them on their travels with a total of four males featuring in their top ten whilst the only woman that females would consider holidaying with is Davina McCall. Across the age groups, Big Brother presenter Dermot O’Leary was the most popular companion amongst the under 30s but over 50s would prefer to share a sunlounger with Joanna Lumley. -
