In \u003ci\u003eToxic: Women, Fame and The Noughties\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Sarah Ditum describes how each of the women changed 'celebrity' forever, despite often falling victim to it, during what we now view as one of the most hostile eras in which to be female.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough Paris' ambivalent relationship with her blogger namesake Perez Hilton; to Britney's paternalistic governors; Jen's attempts to control her career and image; and Janet's betrayal at the Superbowl, these celebrities of The Noughties were presented with the riches of early social media and market opportunity, as long as they abided by the new rules of engagement. Some of these high-profile women were hypersexualised and 'upskirted' by the press; some were shamed by their advertising sponsors; others were contracted by shady management companies and industry figures such as Harvey Weinstein and R Kelly. Together they illuminate the culture of the early twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eToxic: Women, Fame and The Noughties\u003c\/i\u003e is a wild ride through the millennial years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855344488684,"sku":"9780349727141","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780349727141.jpg?v=1759266899"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-ditum.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
