Famous people have money.

I must confess that I am mystified. I think celebraties are treated more important than they are worth. I don't care if x couple breaks up or has a baby. Or if x singer is a pedophile, or a rapist. If you like their products, buy them, if they are criminals, let the law deal with them. I don't need to know their every move.

Two reasons:
1. Money
2. Absolutely Shagadelic (Jessica Alba)
3. Both 1 & 2

Well, who are we to depose them. If they are born into money or make money for themselves then fine. I could personally not care if anything happens to them.
We just follow them so much because they show us our human shortcomings.

-Social Status in socety. They are at the top. (Because of money 
)
People look up to them because they are living at the top of society. Being a social creature, humans see these people as alpha males/females.

What are you talking about? The worship of saints? I am sorry but Christians, especialy Catholics, do not worship saints as gods or goddess. When we pray to saints and Marry. We are asking them to intercede for ourselves and on behalf to others. Intercessory prayer is a pention made towards God on behalf of others. If a believer prays for her children, freinds, enemies, and leaders. Then that believer is interceding on behalf of another. The justification for calling upon a saint in prayer is that saints are both close to God, because of their holiness and accessibility to humans.Slavic Sioux said:

Why can they get away with crimes? They've got the high priced attorneys. F. Lee Bailey and Johnnie Cochran didn't work for peanuts.

Another good example. Not only are they at the top of society. They are above it's rules sometimes.

Now if were talking celiberaties. They just crave attention and just love it to death.Becka said:Um actually I don't think anybody at all said anything about saints. He's talking about actors and singers.
One more thing do you think that many of the most famous singers and or actors have no merit when it comes to singing or acting and only are liked because of there looks and or money????yes I am just talking abougth singers actors and ect.

its more like they are the American Aristocracy. They have the money and the means, so they are the ones everybody knows.Slavic Sioux said:
Think about the aristocracy of the past, for example, the Duke of Nromandy. Everybody would know who he was at the time, because he's the Duke of Normandy! He has a position that allows him a great deal of public attention, and he has the means(money) to be elaborate and continue the tradition of decadence ( for that's surely what sybaritism/hedonism is) that his forbears did. These people are merely continuing the breakdown of society in the paths of their forebears.
I wouldnt say they are Gods so to speak, i mean i dont think people sit down at night and pray to Tom Cruise to guide their soul to heaven, or kiss statues of Angelina Jolie. They just seem to find themselves 'above the law' as it were. I think its crap.

I look up to certain celebrities as exceptional people, but because of their talent, not their image. Nor am I obsessive.
Jimi Hendrix-Guitar Virtuoso.
Miles Davis-Jazz Legend.
Frank Zappa-Artistic Icon.
Pancho Gonzalez-Tennis Genius.
Richard Pryor-Groundbreaking Funnyman.
I see no problem with admiring (not obsessing) such people for their talents. For their image, yes that is rather frustrating.
