Richard Dyer
Stars depend on media to help construct their image e.g. TV, newspapers, the internet, radio. It's made up of a range of meanings which are attracted to the target audiences. The star image is incoherent, which is incomplete and open. Dyer says this is because it is based upon two key paradoxes.
Paradox 1 - The star must be simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary for the customer.
Paradox 2 - They must be simultaneously present and absent.

The incoherence of the star image ensures audiences continually strive to compete or to 'make sense of the image'.
This means that fans will go away determined to continue consuming the star in order to carry on attempting to complete their image,
