520 $aOver the past few decades, celebrity culture's grip on our society has tightened. For Timothy Caulfield, a health science expert, this culture has a measurable influence on individual life choices and health care decisions. Caulfield doesn't mock those who enjoy celebrity culture, but, with a skeptic's eye and a scientific lens, he identifies and debunks the messages and promises that flow from the celebrity realm - whether they are about health, diet, beauty or what is supposed to make us happy. Caulfield separates sense from nonsense and provides usable and evidence-informed advice about what acutally works and what is a waste of money and time. Caulfield tries celebrity-recommended beauty routines and diets. After attending a modeling competition he enrolls in an assessment/audition for a Hollywood agency. He follows celebrity Twitter feeds, reads gossip blogs and reads every issue of People magazine for a year in his quest to understand the relationship between celebrity culture and our individual health choices.
