why do people worship a bunch of self-centered phonies?

[starlight777]

Celebrity worship syndrome is an obsessive-addictive disorder in which a person becomes overly involved with the details of a celebrity's personal life. Psychologists have indicated that though many people obsess over glamorous film, television, sport and pop stars, the only common factor between them is that they are all figures in the public eye.

Evidence indicates that poor mental health is correlated with celebrity worship

when I was young a very very long time ago
I remember teen age girls, including my aunts
who would kneel before the Beatles and worship them.. that stuck with me
probably why I dislike the Beatles so very much

I understand being a fan of the work certain celebrities are known for but obsessing over it?

Man I am a huge fan of certain boxing fighters, a few UFC fighters, certain singers, a few selective comedians, some actors, some known party DJs and turntableist, and the list goes on and on.

Do I give a EFF what they do on a daily basis? Oh no, no, no, no, no.

If they are not entertaining me with the gifts they were given then I don't care.
