Why do people value so much the celebrities?

Question

A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin adjective celeber but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not become a global celebrity until he attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon. On the other hand, mass entertainment personalities such as soap opera actors or music stars are likely to become celebrities even if the person deliberately avoids media attention.

A famous definition of celebrity comes from the cultural theorist Daniel Boorstin. In his book,The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, he cynically describes celebrities as people well known for their “well-knowness”.[citation needed]

Answer 1

i no i dont really understand that much either but i thinik it might be because they see them on t.v. and so it kinda cool if you see them in real life. but most of all i think its just because other people want to see a celeberty so bad that it forces other people to be like them.

Answer 2

I don't value them, but I love watching the train wrecks they make of their lives.
