This article focuses on the "top" 10 "metrosexual" celebrities, all of which are men since that term refers to masculinity, or lack thereof. The men were ranked by their impeccable appearance in hair, skin, and clothes, and an estimated amount of time it would take to upkeep that. It ranks from Orlando Bloom to number 1 Jake Gyllenhaal. Johnny Depp is also included, in which I disagree on. This article shows how far the term "metrosexual" has come and it makes sense that most male celebrities would demonstrate metrosexual qualities since appearance plays a huge role in their career.
Rather than focus on talents of celebrities, more often the focus is on appearances. From this article, companies probably hope their male readers will feel more pressure to improve their outer look to keep up with the ever-growing demands of appearance, and therefore consumerism. Like Clarkson says in his article, masculinity is no longer defined by what a man produces, but by what he consumes in our capitalist society.
