means to be famous today, and why celebrities are so important.
",When I was young I was convinced celebrities could save me,",
Julie Klam admits in&,nbsp,The Stars in Our Eyes, her funny and
personal exploration of fame and celebrity. As she did for subjects
as wide-ranging as dogs, mothers, and friendship, Klam brings her
infectious curiosity and crackling wit to the topic of celebrity.
As she admits, ",I've always been enamored with celebrities,", be
they movie stars, baseball players, TV actors, and now Internet
sensations. ",They are the us we want to be.", Celebrities today
have a global presence and can be, Klam writes, ",some girl on
Instagram who does nude yoga and has 3.5 million followers, a
thirteen-year-old 'viner, ' and a Korean rapper who posts his
videos that are viewed millions of times.", In&,nbsp,The Stars
in Our Eyes, Klam examines this phenomenon. She delves deep into
what makes someone a celebrity, explains why we care about
celebrities more than ever, and uncovers the bargains they make
with the public and the burdens they bear to sustain this status.

it's such an important part of life today.
