Why do celebrities matter?

Some people love celebrities a lot more than others, but we all know them.  People like to watch celebrities lives, and that could be for a number of reasons. You might love Justin Bieber, you might hate him, or you might just think he's weird, but I bet you know who he is.

There is nothing special about celebrities other than the pedestal they are on. They have many people looking at them, which makes it easy for you to get a constant look into their lives. You always know when they are in a relationship, where they are traveling, and a lot of times what they are eating. You get very connected with this person, but somehow you are still very disconnected.

No matter how close you feel like you are to this person, chances are you wont be able to ever make friends with them. Maybe one day you could meet them for a couple second though, if your lucky. It can make people crazy. People want to meet these people who are on this pedestal for them to see, but they are too high up to ever meet. So the only option left is to obsess over them.

One reason people love celebrities so much is because they are very idealized in society. We tend to only see the good sides of people, whether that be in a photo, interview, or magizine. People think that they completely know celebrities, and that they are an image of perfection.

Another reason is attraction. Need I say more?

One good reason to love celebrity is because they inspire you. Celebrities have had success in their lives to get themselves to the point they are at. They can make people feel like anyone can achieve success, which is a good thing.

Why do we choose to idolize people that are the hardest to become part of our lives?
What makes us love certain celebrities more than others?
