Celebrity News （6do encyclopedia）

[brief (簡報編譯)]

Celebrity news refers to the coverage of notable individuals in the entertainment industry, as well as other prominent figures in the worlds of politics, business, and sports. This type of media coverage has become increasingly popular in recent years, with the rise of social media and online platforms allowing for immediate, direct access to the latest happenings and gossip.

With the constant stream of information available online, celebrity news can range from the mundane (updates on a celebrity’s daily routine or outfit) to the scandalous (exposés on a celebrity’s personal life or misdeeds). This type of media coverage can come in many forms, including tabloid magazines, online blogs and social media accounts, and even mainstream news outlets.

One of the most notable trends in celebrity news coverage is the phenomenon of “gatekeeping,” in which certain media outlets or personalities are seen as the definitive sources of information on particular celebrities. This can lead to a power dynamic in which these gatekeepers control the narrative around a celebrity, deciding which stories are covered and how they are framed.

Despite the often-volatile nature of celebrity news, it remains an immensely popular genre with millions of followers and avid consumers around the globe. For many, keeping up with the latest drama and gossip is a form of escapism, allowing them to take a break from the stresses of everyday life and immerse themselves in the glamour and excitement of the celebrity world.

However, some argue that the obsessive focus on celebrity news and gossip can have negative effects, perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards and encouraging unhealthy comparisons among fans. Additionally, the intense scrutiny and constant media attention can take a toll on celebrities themselves, leading to issues with mental health and privacy.

Despite these concerns, celebrity news shows no sign of slowing down, with new media outlets and influencers emerging every day to cover the latest stories and scandals. Whether it’s Kim Kardashian’s latest Instagram post or a scandal involving a high-profile political figure, the public’s fascination with celebrity news shows no signs of waning.

Cannes’s queen of controversy: Maïwenn, the director who dared to cast Johnny Depp

Telegraph

23-05-16 16:01

French director Maïwenn Le Besco, known simply as Maïwenn, is generating controversy even before her latest film, Jeanne du Barry, premieres at Cannes. Reports suggest Maïwenn cut much of star Johnny Depp's dialogue during filming, while she herself hit the headlines in March after allegedly assaulting Edwy Plenel, editor-in-chief of Mediapart, by spitting in his face in a restaurant. Plenel is suing her for damages. Maïwenn then confirmed on chat show Quotidien that she did assault him, before declining to discuss the issue in more detail. In an interview with Premiere magazine she suggested she and Depp often clashed. Maïwenn began acting as a child, and started a relationship with famed French director and producer Luc Besson when she was just 15. He repeatedly said the relationship between Jean Reno's hitman and Natalie Portman's schoolgirl in his 1994 film Léon was based on his romance with Maïwenn, who has also described the movie's "love story between a 12-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man" as "very much inspired by ours". Despite their eventual separation, Maïwenn remains friends with Besson, leading to speculation her assault on Plenel was due to articles Mediapart ran about rape claims made against Besson, none of which were ever substantiated. Maïwenn has achieved critical success as a filmmaker, but is seen as a controversial figure in France due to her views. Not only has she criticised feminists as "women who do not like men", but she has also been scathing about proponents of the #MeToo movement. "Now, me, if I agree to go to a man's room at 1am, I suspect that it is not to talk about a role,” she told Paris Match.

Is Cannes opener Jeanne du Barry Johnny Depp’s crowning glory? Er, non

Telegraph

23-05-16 19:56

Johnny Depp stars as King Louis XV in the opening gala of Cannes Film Festival. The film, which portrays the story of the 18th-century royal and his scandalous affair with courtesan Jeanne Vaubernier, otherwise known as the Comtesse du Barry, has been criticised as a "stale and draughty" period piece. Although handsomely shot, audiences have complained that the central relationship between Jeanne and Louis never convinces. It's yet to be reported when the film will premiere in the UK.

The MeToo-hating director who dared to cast Johnny Depp

Telegraph

23-05-17 11:37

French film director Maïwenn Le Besco, known as Maïwenn, has made headlines ahead of the Cannes premiere of her film 'Jeanne du Barry' with her public spat with investigative journalist Edwy Plenel and her revealing comments about her behaviour on set towards actor Johnny Depp. She allegedly assaulted Plenel in a restaurant in March, walking over to his table, tilting his head back, spitting in his face and then leaving. In an interview with Premiere magazine that recently came to light, Maïwenn confirmed that she forced her presence upon Depp on occasion, despite the actor's preference to be left alone on set, and clashed over the way he liked to be directed, preferring to act with little dialogue. Critics remain uncertain if the film will stand up to the controversy. Despite being a feminist icon, Maïwenn has criticised the movement and feminists, calling them "women who do not like men".

Phillip Schofield quits This Morning with 'immediate effect'

Telegraph

23-05-20 15:20

Phillip Schofield, who has presented ITV's This Morning for over 20 years, has stepped down with immediate effect. The decision follows rumours of a rift with co-presenter Holly Willoughby, which intensified after Schofield's brother Timothy was jailed for child sex offences. Willoughby will continue to co-present the show with other members of its "family". ITV said Schofield will present a new prime-time series in the future. Alison Hammond is among the frontrunners to replace Schofield. The presenter has previously confirmed that she will be the first person of colour to host or judge the next series of The Great British Bake Off.

‘I would prefer not to be English’: how Martin Amis fell out of love with his homeland

Telegraph

23-05-21 14:40

The late author Martin Amis, who left the UK for America in 2011, was known for his sharp views on English life and society. In his novels, he frequently depicted debased culture and class consciousness, such as the “rampant and… laughably undiscriminating enthusiasm” of the American audience. Amis saw the decline of civilisation as a result of losing the Empire and regretted the contraction in English literature. At a talk held in 2006, he asked an audience whether they felt morally superior to the Taliban – only around a third put their hands up. Before Amis’s death in September, he won planning permission to build a two-bedroom house and underground swimming pool at his London home amid opposition from “Nimby” neighbours who drew up a petition against him.

Former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes said that Phillip Schofield was fired from the show instead of resigning. Schofield announced his resignation from the show last weekend with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary paying a teary tribute to the long-time presenter. However, Holmes, who hosted This Morning until 2021, cast doubt on his statement and claimed that the presenter was sacked. ITV denied that he was sacked. Holmes also claimed that co-host Holly Willoughby was "being as false as he is and nobody is talking about the elephant in the room". Rumours have been circulating about tensions between the pair in recent weeks. While Schofield has left This Morning, ITV has said that he would be presenting a new prime-time series in the future.

I lived through Piers’s TV break-up. This is what it taught us

The Telegraph Opinion

23-05-22 17:39

The frenzied speculation and gossip surrounding the alleged recent breakdown of the TV friendship between "This Morning" presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby has sparked PTSD in Emma Beddington who lived through a similar experience with suspended "Good Morning Britain" presenter Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid. Emma questions why audiences become so invested in the relationships between TV couples, with many people rushing to declare their allegiances and even speak about the "real" and "true" machinations of their on-screen couple. Emma suggests that TV couples mirror our own domestic frustrations and that viewers are projecting or seeking drama in their own lives.
