Why Do We Put Celebrities On A Pedestal?!?

...I mean, what's the big deal? Why is it that they can get away with stuff other people can't? They're just people that can act, sing, dance, suck other celebs dicks, etc. Just because somebody is on TV, or the Radio, that shouldn't make them more special than any other person who's not. Celebs shouldn't be able to get away with treating people like they're beneath them under no circumstance when if it wasn't for the people, these "celebs" wouldn't have the $ & fame that they do. I've met quite a few celebs myself, & most of them are extremely stuck up & I lost a lot of respect for them....What do you think about "Celebrities"???

الحيوان النادلة ((((|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|)))) ...AND THAT'S THE WAY THE "TITTY" MILKS IT!

I confess. I'm a star-fucker. I know they're people just like us but I tend to lose my shiz around them.

And I don't know why.

I think Japan would disagree with you. I've heard reports of fans committing suicide when their favorite pop star would get married neutral

i don't, really. celebs are people, and many of them become fairly obnoxious once they convince themselves that fame and fortune are the ultimate goal of living, and equal 'success' in life

To feel better about ourselves and feel like we're on their side of the velvet rope if we emulate style or similar talents. I believe this applies to the fashion industry too and following beauty standards.

Honestly, we're all a bit voyeuristic and celebrities and would be celebrities feed into that. We want to know what someone else is up too and the richer and more dysfunctional they are the better for our appetite. Now for those who take it too far and want to emulate celebrities well, those people are just plain crazy.

That's a matter of opinion and everything has limits, but it's no different from emulating beauty standards that are thrown upon us daily.
