This shows commonality with The Star of Ishtar, which is a symbol associated with resurrection, she being a Goddess who resurrected.
This can then be related to movie stars because movie stars are a focus of people’s attention and interest. And in being an object of positive interest they also gain financial interest. However people who receive a sort of fascination due to negative interest have had a history of losing money, for example reviled public figures have been subject to being sued for a variety of reasons.
Like Ishtar, The Asterisk gives life to sentiments, and Ishtar is a life giving Goddess, similar to Athena, also known as Pallas Athena. According to the following article there is a link between Athena and Ishtar. The article suggests Greek Gods were in competition with Monotheism, but I disagree with that. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Moses, and Muhammad, is basically Zeus and Hera, The Sky Mother and Sky Father, hence the use of Elohim to refer to God in Genesis 1:1, plural term.

As far as the news goes what is called news is not real news because it doesn’t matter. What is happening in places such as Eastern Europe or The Middle East now doesn’t matter in any way. The news is mainly a distraction from real things.
The stories of The Gods appear to be a anthropomorphizing of natural forces, like Helios and the solar chariot with the sun being a wheel, however this poetic understanding has practical uses in helping people construct prayers and incantations to help them feel a sense of security and mastery of natural forces.
The Greco-Roman Gods correspond to Angels in The Bible, with Zeus and Hera being Elohim, a name for God. Hera being The Vedic Aditi. Herodotus stated that The Egyptian Religion was The Greek Religion in another set of names, and we know Moses was trained as an Egyptian priest according to The Bible, indicating a significant portion of the biblical subject matter pertains to Egyptian culture.
The Christian Religion is essentially Hellenism, and Hellenism is the religion of Ancient Greece and Ancient Romans. Jesus Christ as a resurrection archetype is similar to both Tammuz, a male God, and Ishtar a Goddess. The Frankish term for Jesus Christ is Jhesu Christ or Jhesucrist.
Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ is the French equivalent of the English Our Lord Jesus Christ. The embracing of Christianity by The Franks indicates a preference for Hellenism over Saxonism, which is not surprising as there are records of them being persecuted by The Saxons circa 300 AD per Zosimus.
