He attempts to define the word "fame"--hint: it's harder than you'd think. He turns back time to identify the first facially-recognizable celebrity (you might know his former BFF Brutus). He digs into the numbers to debunk urban legends associated with stardom (ever heard of the 27 Club?). He talks to other semi-famous people (from K-pop sensations to former child stars) and asks them: Is this fame thing making you happy? If not, why are you doing it? If so, what's your secret? All while recounting funny stories about his own cringy fame-seeking (like his many attempts, and failures, to get onto MTV).

Packed with playful diagrams, fascinating insights from celebrities, and embarrassing truths from Josh's experience with semi-fame, this is a must-read for anyone who has ever dreamed of becoming famous...or at least going viral on TikTok. (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers)

Celebrity Ghost Stories is an American paranormal reality television series that debuted on October 3, 2009, with the pilot airing on September 26, 2009. Its first four seasons aired on The Biography Channel with the fifth airing on Lifetime Movie Network. In June 2019, A&E announced the revival of the series with the sixth-season premiere airing in the fall of the same year.[1] Celebrity Ghost Stories interviews various celebrities who talk about paranormal events that have happened in their lives. A spin-off, The Haunting Of, features footage from the series and follows the celebrities as they go back to the places of their haunted experiences to find out the truth.[2]

On February 18, 2020, it was announced that the sixth season would premiere on April 8, 2020. However, the new series was formatted to follow along the lines of "The Haunting Of" with psychic medium Kim Russo taking celebrities back to the scenes of their encounters, rather than the original series format of different celebrities telling stories of their own paranormal encounters.[3]

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery includes direct parallels to real-world celebrities in a way that draws plenty of humor from its meta murder-mystery story. While the film draws humor from a variety of other sources, such as Benoit Blanc's continued eccentric ways, the celebrity parallels often tie directly into the story. This is done by impacting the characters' motivations and therefore the murder mystery aspect as a whole.

While not every character has a direct celebrity parallel, a number can be tied to a variety of real-world events through the film's time setting. However, one character with a more overt connection is Edward Norton's Miles Bron, who is almost a carbon copy of Elon Musk and other billionaires. Another obvious parallel is Dave Bautista's Duke, who is clearly based on internet personality Joe Rogan. Other links come from Leslie Odom Jr's Lionel who is similar to Steve Wozniak, amid a few Glass Onion characters who have broader links to different celebrities like the Kardashians or politicians.

As mentioned, the most obvious parallel to a real-life celebrity is Miles Bron as Elon Musk. Miles Bron in the film is a wealthy billionaire who earned his money through a technology company. This draws direct parallels to Musk whose vast wealth has been acquired through similar means. Glass Onion draws plenty of humor from Bron's various ideas he constantly pitches or has previously pitched throughout the film, drawing parallels again to Musk whose constantly varying business ventures often fall flat or are done on a whim, such as his recent procurement of Twitter.

Another parallel to Musk comes in Bron's personality. Outside of his vast wealth acquired through similar means, Bron is written by Rian Johnson and performed by Norton as having a "tech-bro" personality. Bron in Glass Onion is constantly referencing other celebrities through name-drops and merchandising. He is also very arrogant and condescending because of his apparent genius and unrivaled wealth - traits many members of the general public also believe Musk to possess. However, these things can also draw connections to entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, with the film even showing Bron in a black turtleneck synonymous with Jobs at one point, though the connections to Musk are more prominent.

One of the other more obvious parallels, though more so to a "type" of celebrity than anyone in particular, is Kate Hudson's Birdie Jay. The film starts in May 2020, at the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, and introduces Birdie through a huge party at her apartment. From the obvious lack of social distancing and the mixing of various people, all accompanied by the darkly hilarious COVID briefings on the many TVs seen in the apartment, it is clear what kind of celebrity Birdie is riffing on. Given her fame coming from various beauty lines and modeling, it is clear Birdie is based on the likes of the Kardashians.

At multiple points throughout the pandemic - which Glass Onion utilizes as one of the few COVID comedy movies that actually works - the Kardashians were criticized for breaking lockdown rules, as paralleled by Birdie's opening scene. Also, one of Birdie's main storylines in Glass Onion surrounds the controversy of her clothing line using sweatshops, which Birdie misunderstood as simply being the name for buildings where sweatpants are made. Kim Kardashian specifically has had similar controversies, like releasing a clothing item named a Kimono that was vastly different from the traditional Japanese garment of the same name, leading her to be accused of cultural appropriation before changing the name of the product.

The main way this parallel happens, however, is through Claire's political campaign. Miles' wealth is one of the main reasons behind Claire's success, as his company had been endorsing her and vice versa. As such, Claire endorsed Klear, a highly unstable alternative fuel source pitched by Miles, which puts her career at risk. Despite the risk to human lives that could come through endorsing Klear in Glass Onion, Claire does so to keep her career going. This is a clear commentary on the often corrupt politicians in today's political climate, and one of the most pertinent parallels between characters and real-world celebrities in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

The question "Who are you wearing" is a loaded one in Hollywood. It's a phrase that can elicit cringes in even the most poker-faced red carpet attendee. It's a phrase that can spark hundreds of reactionary tweets. Asking an Oscar attendee to identify the designer of her dress is an act that can seem trivial in a time of heightened awareness and attention to inclusion and equality (and, let's not forget, the movement to #AskHerMore), but it actually has a long and important history of necessity in the award show system.

There are, basically, two options for an actress attending the Oscars: They can choose to borrow from a designer's new collection, or have something custom-made for them by a designer. (Technically they could also purchase their own gown, but paying for it yourself isn't nearly as fun.) There are myriad reasons why it's simply assumed that celebrities will get free clothes for award season, but the short answer is that having an Oscar nominee (or even Oscar winner) wear, and talk about, your dress on the year's biggest red carpet is simply great PR. And fairly easy PR at that.

The result is a true organizational mix-and-match, in which stylists attempt to narrow down a partnership between a designer who's interested in dressing a certain actress, and an actress who's interested in wearing a certain designer. Say Louis Vuitton wants to dress Alicia Vikander, but Alicia has her heart set on a Calvin Klein gown, but Calvin Klein wants to dress Brie Larson...it all just shuffles around until everyone's happy.

So you see, the probe of Who are you wearing is wholly necessary to keep the red carpet dressing system a well-oiled, if slightly confusing, machine. Designers are depending on the press that comes with the question, and actresses feel (and occasionally are on paper) obligated to name-check the company that provided them the opportunity to glam up for free. But crediting the designer that helped up your red carpet game can be more than just part of a long-held understanding between fashion house and celebrity: It can be empowering.
