Abstract :

Celebrities’ gossips and their social life has long been a commodity of the Indonesian capitalist media. Since gossips and the female celebrity’s stories are the product of those strong groups (i.e. capitalist media) in the society, so their figures that have been constructed by the media have influenced the views of society to the ideological interests of the media and their apparatuses. The images of female celebrities in this case can be seen as exemplifying figures of diverse, confident and liberated women as public figures which in turn could help to legitimate resistant to the concept of the ‘autonomous women.’ This text-based work focuses on stories and coverage of the top-rated high-earning female celebrities during 2001 to 2004. The paper looks at how social class and gender are involved and rearticulated in the formation of the celebrity personality in post-authoritarian Indonesia.
