Why do people obsess so much over celebrities?

I just don't see what the big deal is....
I mean, they are just another person. They're no much 더 많이 of a human being then anyone else out there. Why do people make such a huge deal out of them? I get if 당신 like their 연기 또는 music, but what's the point of spending your time learning every little detail about someone 당신 don't even know. Chances are you're never going to meet them face to face, and even if 당신 do you're just one out of the millions of other obsessive fans. It doesn't really do anything for your own benefit.
I mean, your neighbor across the 거리 is just your neighbor across the 거리 but if they were to suddenly become famous would 당신 begin to stalk them and learn everything there is to them.

What do 당신 guys think?

I totally agree. 유명인사 are people too, just like us. Yes, there are a few out there that have pretty good acting/singing skills, and I do like some of them, but I wouldn't try to stalk them. Chances are, I don't even know their personality, and who they truly are. Now, fictional characters...that's another thing. xD

It's because to some, they're 히어로즈 and inspirations. They give young kids something to aspire to be. They can give 당신 hope and once 당신 get to know a celebrity well enough 당신 can start falling in 사랑 with them, not in a creepy stalker way but in a really true way. 당신 start to care about them, because yes, they are human, and that makes everything they've accomplished even 더 많이 amazing. It doesn't matter if 당신 ever meet them face-to-face, it's enough to support them through everything they do.

I suppose none of the people I've come to care so much about would actually qualify as "celebrities," people like Austin Carlile and Kellin Quinn, but I get the feeling. These guys save lives, and fuck they've gotten me through some of the worst times of my life, and I feel like I owe them a lot. That's why I care so much about them. And no I haven't met either of those guys yet, but the thing is, I know their 팬 mean the world to them. Austin says it all the time, and he's been moved to tears when people chant his name at shows. It's really amazing how much we can mean to him. And the benefit? It's a family. It's all the people 당신 meet because of your obsessions. It's the way 당신 can make a new friend in ten 초 because 당신 have that one person in common. It's how they make 당신 feel like 당신 can accomplish so much and how they are your inspiration to just keep going.

So that's why I think people obsess so much over these people. ^^

The same reason they obsess over fictional characters.

They become attached to them. Very simple really.
