It is totally true. People have asked me to dance, told me they have a girlfriend, and then tried to feel me up. I hate it, and I've kinda lost my faith in humanity because of it.
I think it's just that celebrity = religion. Since we're not so big on religion any more, celebrity has that edge that we want.
that is an interesting point though: we crave money so we produce these celebrities that will achieve it. huh, interesting thought. A whole new spin on it, and one that sounds quite pessimistic :S thanks :)

There's a lot of food for thought there...
