Why should I care about celebrities? For that matter, why should any of us? Celebrities are fascinating because they live in a parallel universe—one that looks and feels just like ours yet is light-years beyond our reach. “Celebrity worship syndrome” is what many american’s suffer from.” It’s an unhealthy interest in the lives of the rich and fabulous. Researchers say, about one-third of us have it to some degree. In fact, over the past few years, a wealth of academic literature has cashed in on our relationships with the stars.

Fans used to be lumped into two distinct groups. The first were harmless admirers who enjoyed their celebrity’s talents from afar. The second group of fans were the obsessive letter writers and the stalkers. Why the fascination? Why is it that we care about the personal lives of people we have never even met?

Social psychologists agree that the reasons are complex, but some issues seem to recur.

1.      One is that we’re bored, and living through movie stars is a way of alleviating that boredom.

2.Another reason is that we are searching for identity, the evidence for which is that teenagers usually score highest on celebrity worship syndrome.

3.      Social fragmentation: as family and community values are crushed by individualism and the omnipresent media, perhaps fantasy relationships are becoming easier to form than real ones.

4.Celebrities are our gods since Fame has become the new religion. The more a person subscribes to a formal, institutionalized religion, the less likely they are to worship a celebrity, psycological research lends some weight to this theory.

5.Whether family, friends, neighbors or celebrities – Gossip – still plays an important role in cementing social bonds and improving an individual’s status within a group.

6.      Evolution – it makes sense for us to copy high-status individuals. People with high status, way back in time, tended to reproduce more often, so copying their techniques was a way of improving our own fitness.

Which brings us to our own personal appearance.Our obsession is looking trim and fit just like our celebrity idols. The beauty bias is well-known. We do pay more attention to people who are good looking. Throughout human history we’ve always idolized people more successful and beautiful than ourselves.

When it comes to weight loss, models , actors, musicians, and singers all fall into the same category. If you the one the one preparing to go on tour, need to be walking the red carpet, or flying off to meet a photographer in an exotic location, how would you lose those extra pounds?
