Media exploitation has become a practice that the public is so accustom to that it isn't really seen as "exploitation". The word exploitation, rightfully so, has a negative connotation attached to it; exploitation is deliberate exposure. In relation to media, exploitation is the deliberate exposure of celebrity; common forms of media exploitation are recognizable through media emphasis on the pits and faults of celebrity, mistakes, divorces, wardrobe mishaps etc. It's hard not to conclude that media exploitation is subjected commonly to women in the media. The study of the, 'Art of Fame' came from international superstar, Lady Gaga (60 Minutes), who suggests that there is a way in which celebrities [women] who are famous can control and perfect the art of fame---this comes at the expense of art-directing aspects of their career and lives that prove to be more "entertaining" than their vulnerabilities---which are so commonly exploited in the media. As a woman, exploitation is something that becomes all too familiar as we are expected to be, dress and act a certain way that fits into 'society's standards' of what 'a woman should be'. The 'Art of Fame' masters the outwitting of media exploitation at the expense of their demise.
