People will always be fascinated by celebrities, because they live a fantasy lifestyle. But when they fall short of that fantasy or that ideal, then people become disgusted with their behavior. There will still be devoted fans, so not everyone will feel this way. Most people love movies, music, sports etc. we want to be entertained and as long we enjoy this past-time, than someone will have fame and fortune from it.

I like actors/actresses but I don't obsessed over them. Some people who are only into liking them for certain things like their fame, money, attention or even friendships to make themselves feel they are at the top when they are feeling they are at the bottom. (I hope I am making sense)
Then they get obsessed thinking that their favorite actor/actress can't do no wrong and one false move like not acknowledging a gift, letter or a simple hello said to them and not given back in return, they are consider stuck up or worse they just don't care.
Some celebs make their money if they aren't working on movies or tv shows by appearing in public during a fan gathering such as fan club meetings, (working on a show: they sometimes attend the conventions that fans put together to celebrate the show they like that has been cancelled.
Charity events might be another way to attention for the actors/actresses. Some do honestly get into the charity work to help out while some are just doing it for the publicity and money.
IF this is true some celebs are doing drugs and drinking while at the sametime being role models for kids while they are growing up. They just sometimes hide their problems and once a newspaper or news broadcast gets wind of it everyone finds out cause its spread all over and those who are looking up to them get let down. So yeah that can also make people not like them.
Some of the reasons I mentioned above could maybe lead to alot of people hating them. There is more reasons but it'll take forever to list them all.

I like actors and actresses, not celebrities. You get the title of celebrity for anything stupid that you can do as long as you have a known name. Paris Hilton didn't earn her way to where she is so think about how she got there? Lindsay Lohan had a great career but she placed more emphasis on partying than in her work.
You can be a celebrity now if your name is known and a sex tape is out there somewhere with you on it. Even their parents, who are absolute nobody's are trying to be celebrities.
Take people like Clint Eastwood, Raquel Welch, Audrey Hepburn, Morgan Fairchild, Charles Bronson, and John Wayne. They are actors and actresses, not celebrities.

No, but everyone likes hating them. Which is why they continue to make money, because their still a subject of interest, love or hate. To be fair, there are still people who like them and admire them, even obsess over them. People buy their products and see their films so to get as close to the-life-of-(insert your celebrity) as possible. So either way, the money still comes in i suppose.

they make alot of money because people being obsessed with them and seeing them on tv mainly.
People do not like to hear the good things celebrities do but only the bad things they do, as it would be too boring if so.

Celebrities are famous for what they have achieved - their celebrity is a consequence of their success, not a phenomenon in its own right. So the money comes not from the fame, but from the achievement.

Not all celebrities are bad.
Some of them have more money then sense.
There are alot of positive things said e.g. about Ophera and her school in Africa.
You can't say anything nasty about a women who uses her money for good, can you?

They have former assistants that like being publicized for being their only friend. Yeah Right. They help bring the celebrity back for their own publicity.

for a celebrity, any publicity is good publicity. positive or negative, it doesn't matter. it's also fun to talk smack about them when they mess up because the rest of the times they try to act so perfect and cool!
sometimes it's good to see them fall flat on their faces once and awhile.

It is their personalities that people hate but they provide entertainment for ordinary people. Their products, albums, films and so on are very well thought through to attract a mass amount of people. People love to hate them, that is why mags that slate them sell so much.
