The Cult of Celebrity

I'm not a fan of the famous. I think our obsession with actors, musicians, and the rich is harmful. An entire industry exists just to follow their every move, and to what purpose? To make money for the industry that follows these celebrities is the only answer that I can find. But, what is the effect of promiting a lifestyle of excess? Promoting the thought that having more stuff makes you successful. We tell young people that it's what you have rather than what you are what makes you successful. It's sad.
