Socialite Bloggers Manufactured Celebrity Status in Early 2000s, New Hulu Doc Reveals

A new documentary streaming on Hulu explores how socialite bloggers created celebrities out of random young blonde women in the early 2000s.
The film features interviews with key figures from that era, including publicists and photographers, and focuses on socialite Tinsley Mortimer.
The documentary shows how influential but unregulated culture blogs shaped fame and status at the time.
The film shifts in the second half to follow the life of James Kurisunkal, now Morgan Olivia Rose, who transitioned and narrates the film.
While touching on an era that shaped celebrity and influencer culture, the film's narrow focus leaves the wider impacts unexplored.
