She uses Nick and Jessica as an example of a modern celebrity marriage that she says heralds back to Sonny &amp; Cher. Although now I wonder if Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were also a couple-as-one-marketable-celebrity-entity, too.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The copy of the paper I read was a longer, looser draft but essentially the same points were covered. The PHD student, Charisse L\u2019Pree Corsbie-Massay, has now posted the essay on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themediamademecrazy.com\/\">her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Her basic theory is that \u201cthe star couple creates its own marketing machine\u201d which for S&amp;C she dubs <em>The Bono Plan<\/em>. Star couples create their own unique celebrity entity. The marriage even helps solidify an individuals celebrity stature by giving them a safe-sex storyline and grounding their singular (sometimes scandalous) behaviors off-camera. Plus it\u2019s all juicy biography material later on. <\/p>\n<p>Okay, I\u2019m making it sound more salacious than the theory really is. Although Corsbie-Massay&nbsp; does quote someone named Dyer who says \u201cMarriage is a perpetual tabloid scandal.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Drawbacks of this plan include the fact that you have to let strangers into your private life, or some staged (in Cher&#8217;s variety-show case) or edited (in Jessica\u2019s reality-how case) version thereof. But the result is that the audience feels included somehow in your personal space. In any case, you need a constant medium to transmit your couple brand: for Sonny &amp; Cher TV show and tabloids and for Nick and Jessica TV show and tabloids.<\/p>\n<p>But then the PHD brings in the big guns: somehow this whole marketing plan ends up solidifying sexist&nbsp; cultural norms regarding husband and wife roles. In other words, the wife usually gets slotted \u201cin her place\u201d attempting to submit to the husband.&nbsp; When I think of this theory in terms of Liz Taylor, it\u2019s interesting how hard she seemed to fight that exact subservience. <\/p>\n<p>In Cher\u2019s case, she could be feminist on the show with her suggestive banter, but be a proper wife and mother off-camera. In fact Corsbie-Massay credits Cher with helping to \u201cspearhead the women\u2019s lib movement\u201d on air and I would agree with that assessment. Through image and attitude and the show\u2019s opening duologue storylines, Cher made a statement of breaking out of subservient roles, no matter what the private reality of their lives was behind closed doors. In the draft I read, Corsbie-Massay says Cher&#8217;s \u201crole as a feminist icon is obvious.\u201d&nbsp; But here is where I think Cher actually gets short shift and is not often enough acknowledged for her role as a 70s independent feminist icon.<\/p>\n<p>Corsbie-Massay provides a very interesting reading of Cher\u2019s pre-variety-show biography with all it\u2019s politics, counter-culturalism and early marketing strategies. And&nbsp; her research weights on Peter Bogdanovich\u2019s article from 1966 in <em>The Saturday&nbsp; Evening Post<\/em>, one of the first scholarly-toned and critical piece on Cher. I know&#8230;Bogdanovich can be annoyingly cerebral and pompous, but the article is certainly worthy re-reading and an important piece on Cher, not only for the controversy regarding what it says about S&amp;C but for that controversy\u2019s impact on Cher and Bogdanovich\u2019s relationship when he directed her in <em>Mask<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also interesting when Corsbie-Massay&nbsp; discusses how S&amp;C were different than Nick and Jessica, how they embraced their physical flaws and ethnicity (whereas Jessica and Nick tried to snuff theirs).<\/p>\n<p>In the initial draft Corsbie-Massay also briefly discussed how Iranian women associated with Cher\u2019s &quot;swarthy complexion and powerful presence&quot; and how they emulated her. I am dying to know more about this. How did their television show get to Iran in the first place? And Cher\u2019s influence on women of color is also grossly under-evaluated.<br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year a PHD at the University of Southern California sent me a link to her thesis paper on how Sonny &amp; Cher defined celebrity marriage as a marketing strategy.
