products for consumption, with a dedicated fan base demanding

activities. A niche community such as a fan base can be
monetized through effective marketing that links brand loyalty

reinforces their membership in a specific group or demographic.
Find scholarly sources that focus on celebrity and celebrity
culture and the impact it has had (whether past or present) and
make arguable claims (take a position) on what these terms
mean, how they have impacted society (positively? negatively?
something in between?) and possibly how it is or has changed
and what this means for the future.
