摘要：With Big Brother 8 now underway, evidence of society’s obsession with fame is not hard to find. Another group of contestants are attempting to find their 15 minutes of fame, but although most contestants sink without trace fairly rapidly there have been some who have shown staying power. Former contestant Jade Goody has become the UK’s first “reality TV millionaire” (despite her unpopular profile while in the House in 2002 and again in Celebrity Big Brother in January 2007). For those that do make it, they can look forward to plenty of publicity in the tabloids and gossip magazines that feed off the public’s apparent fascination with the stars of reality TV, as well as soap stars, musicians and footballers’ wives.
