Hi

I'm writing about the move from Star studies to Celebrity studies - perhaps 
an inevitable development in our celebrity-saturated culture. There's 
reasons for arguing why it's happened both academically as well as in 
everyday life... however I wondered if people doing work in this area are 
all calling it celebrity studies? Does anyone still refer to their work as 
'Star Studies'? Even though I can think of some argument to say that a 
particular article or piece of research is more about the 'star' than about 
'celebrity'; I wonder if, as a field, celebrity studies has become an all 
encompassing term?

Be great to hear feedback on this, especially if you or anyone you know of 
is still using 'star studies'!

Thanks
Corinna
