Two studies were conducted by collecting data through online surveys. The results, based on a structural equation modelling analysis, show that both perceived attractiveness and expertise of celebrities could affect the strength of consumer-celebrity PSI, which in turn allow the consumer to establish a personal connection with the endorsed brand and result in positive brand-related responses. Additionally, when a celebrity possess only one kind of advantage, whether it is perceived physical appearance or perceived expertise in specific field, the audience’s willingness to interact with the celebrity would increase as the celebrity’s perceived expertise increases. But when a celebrity is outstanding in both perceived physical appearance and perceived expertise, the intensity of the audience’s willingness to interact with the celebrity is more susceptible to the change of the perceived appearance of the celebrity. The research proves the indispensable role of the consumer-celebrity PSI for transferring the symbolic meaning of the celebrity endorser to the meaning of the consumer self, inspiring the consumercelebrity relationship perspective in endorsement advertising research. In addition, the research supplies the source credibility models and brand attitude models.展开更多

It is the main platform used by them to publish press releases and, especially, to reach out to their fans. Given the pervasiveness of celebrities on the site, people with related interests may be especially likely to start using the service due to the perception of direct access to a famous person. As for the celebrities, it is a way of being close to the public and giving them an insight in to the life of a celebrity. Although most celebrity Twitter accounts are only used for promotion purposes, many celebrities use their personal accounts for the purpose of communicating with their fans, friends and other celebrities. These celebrities tweet personal photos and share their inner thoughts for various reasons and to different audiences. Thus in this study I ask: What are celebrity speech patterns on Twitter? Are they talking mostly to fans, and if not, who are they talking to? How are they talking to these different audiences? I address these questions by analyzing the tweets publicly available on four active celebrities’ Twitter timelines. The findings support that these celebrities indeed address different audiences on Twitter, including fans, friends, family and other celebrities. The findings further reveal that celebrities tend to communicate using different speech acts when talking to these different audiences. In light of this evidence, I attempt to highlight patterns that may be relevant with regards to the celebrities’ gender.展开更多
