'Brilliant . . . really made me realise how no one has pulled back and given an overall story to the last 20 years . . . It's clever because it makes me think about now' ADAM CURTIS FILMMAKER Britney Paris Lindsay Aaliyah Janet Amy Kim Chyna Jen. Nine iconic women whose fame in the early internet years of the century came at a price. In Toxic: Women Fame and The Noughties journalist Sarah Ditum describes how each of the women changed 'celebrity' forever despite often falling victim to it during what we now view as one of the most hostile eras in which to be female. Through Paris' ambivalent relationship with her blogger namesake Perez Hilton to Britney's paternalistic governors Jen's attempts to control her career and image and Janet's betrayal at the Superbowl these celebrities of The Noughties were presented with the riches of early social media and market opportunity as long as they abided by the new rules of engagement. Some of these high-profile women were hypersexualised and 'upskirted' by the press some were shamed by their advertising sponsors others were contracted by shady management companies and industry figures such as Harvey Weinstein and R Kelly. Together they illuminate the culture of the early twenty-first century. Toxic: Women Fame and The Noughties is a wild ride through the millennial years.
