Why in america do we place such a strong emphasis on the importance of celebrities (sports, movies and music) to be such positive role models for our children? Why do we idolize these people? Just because they have a talent for physical activity, acting or singing does not mean they are meant to be role models for our children. In my humble opinion, there is nothing special about these people except the fact that we give them our money to entertain us and thus we think that means they are to be idolized. Some of these celebrities are horrible people and if you knew them personally you wouldn't want to associate with them. Take Snoop Dogg for instance, he's a self-proclaimed herbal essence enjoyer and the media just love him. His music is degrading to women. What's so great about that? Am I being a square or do you agree with me?

You are absolutely right. And what's even more outrageous is that they earn millions of dollars while the people who are vital to our economy slave away in minimum-wage jobs. It will just keep getting worse until Jesus comes back to reclaim the earth. When you look at all that is happening in our world, how can you doubt the Bible? Everything is falling into place just as the Bible has said for two thousand years.
Thank you for pointing this out- I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

i'm totally with you about the idolization of celebrities, it's really rediculous. granted, there are a few that are actually good people that do good things, but not nearly as much as there should be.
as for snoop dogg, his music is an example of art imitating life imitating art. his music is an expression of his life, just like any other musician. but that doesn't mean we all have to listen to it and like it.

Well you answered (in a part) to your own question,, its Media who creats stars and recognise them as the top in their countries
Its ppl who creats star because of their intrest in that one
ppl want to follow ideal person , role model (in their fields),, so they care about celibrities news /
also it maight be because of this curiosity in normal ppl to know about others ....
