Where once it might have been seen as an interesting but ephemeral formation, celebrity and the industries which produce it are now recognised as playing a fundamental role in the economies and structures of the contemporary media, as well as supplying an increasing proportion of the content. Over the last decade as celebrity studies has grown, a great deal of the theoretical ground clearing has been done: teaching programs are established, there is a well supported journal in the field, and celebrity is now a lively field of debate within media and cultural studies. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;line-height:115%'>Much of the hard work has been done, then, to establish that celebrity demands attention. That said, it is clear that celebrity studies needs to be more than just an anthology of accounts of this or that celebrity, or analyses of those regularly occurring celebrity moments where our interests overlap with those of the mainstream media. The presentations in this symposium all, in their own way, address the question of what more can we do with the notion of celebrity? The symposium brings together a stellar cast of leading international figures in celebrity studies, together with one of the leading younger scholars making her mark in this field, in order to present their latest work. In papers that indicate the diversity and depth of this field, they each convincingly show that there is indeed much left to be said about celebrity. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Speakers:<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:72.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Chris Rojek <i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:72.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Graeme Turner <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:72.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Frances Bonner<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:72.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>Anthea Taylor<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:72.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b>P.
