Because...
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes. So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen.
Sidenote on "bought them": God bought us at a high price, the precious blood of His beloves Son, Christ Jesus.

Why would the Lord have to buy them if he made them? How does a spiritual being buy something anyway? How do you know he made the person a movie star? What if the person chose their own profession? If a majority of movie goers liked a certain actor, who made the actor a star? How many times is movie star bought and sold and who buys and sells the star? People worship movie stars because they want to be like them.

These days some people are worshipping movie stars coz they are die-hard fans 4 them,and some people even get married with the television when they see their favourite stars performing.This is very unusual.Some people cannot live without seeing their super star for one day...and these are true facts.A human's moral value is totally lost in todays society...which is proved by these ideas.

I suspect much research has been done on the mind and the advertisers have most likely paid much for that information to be used in such a way which does tend to control the influx or flow of information. unfortunately the market place has made roads inland far enough to have such a grave effect.They have taught the mind to liston when money talks through deprivation and manipulation. this is an independent observation from being touch in such an intrusive way. How then do i explain the touch other than as it is done.

Forest Lover means "bought them out of their state of sin". Christians were slaves to sin and the world until they asked forgiveness from God and accepted Jesus as their Savior. It's a common expression you might hear in church (depending on your church).
2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

My same exact question I was going to ask.
Well, it's probably because they don't know
that they're worshiping them. If you've ever
seen " Confessions of a teenage drama queen ",
you'll see that some kids worship this rockstar.
I don't exactly know the answer to your question,
so I'm deeply sorry.

Not only do they worship them, but they idolize them. Which idoltry is very wrong. These people need to get saved so they can worship the Lord.

Signs of little self respect and grew up without role models, only the TV and movies and something to chat about with their piers.
Maybe they do not know the Lord, right?

people worship the creature rather than the Creator.
Satan wants mankind to worship him(creation worshipping the creation), while God wants us(the creation to worship the Creator)
