Richard Dyers Theory

Richard Dyers Star Theory suggests that all "stars" are created by the media. Therefore getting their name known in media institutions is a positive way is crustal to their career. Also Subsidiary Media contributes to this greatly, via magazines and other forms of publicity apart from the main media platform. Even though the music industry is one of the to get to fame, some people manage to leapfrog past the performing stage by either dating  a famous person to get to publicity.
An example of this is when popular magazines features famous "stars" on the front cover, therefore attracting the public's attention and drawing the audience in. This theory suggests that the public wants to "complete" their image of the celebrity who's surrounded in mystery which is one of the motivations for following that celebratory via magazines and appearances.
