I think "celebrities" serve as role models, as proof by example that there's more to life than the one I'm living, and as outlets for living vicariously.
I wish we had more celebrities like Ghandi and Einstein and fewer like Madonna. I think the evidence of our emotional and spiritual sickness is our choice of who to venerate. (Crap, am I sexist? I can't think of an easy good female celebrity.)
