I agree, but I been thinking if the uppsestion has something to do whit a personality ore something that you are missing in you life! So you take a selebrity instead. I dont knew...

People are properly, legitimately impressed by “stars” if the stars do something – acting, athletics etc – extremely well. I have a friend whose hobby is writing letters to newspaper editors. He’s a perfectly ordinary guy, albeit very nice, but he is a superlative letter writer. His short notes are little karate-punches of literary rhetoric. Back in the ’90s, the local newspaper printed a letter from him almost daily, his observations were so stunning. At one point, he was invited to appear at a local “First Amendment Celebration” – a big local party honoring freedom of press/speech and so forth. Most people had never seen him, but almost everyone had read his letters. When he was introduced, the audience went wild with applause and, afterward, several folks gathered around him, asking for autographs and wanting to visit with him. He said it was the weirdest thing that had ever happened in his whole life... and, he said, he could easily see why some folks (such as young movie actors) have their minds totally warped by such public recognition, they start thinking they are somebody special, start thinking they are somehow “better” than other people. After that day, he resumed anonymity, but he kept writing great letters to the editor. His life remained un-warped.

I’m absolutely obsessed with stars. I’d like to be among them some day. Just that being an astronaut is soooo difficult, so extremely competitive and physically demanding... that I’ve lost nearly all my hopes already :(
But well, I guess you were talking about other kind of stars :D I’d say it’s normal to have “heroes” in certain phases of your life. Like in adolescence, people is mostly so unsure about themselves that it makes sense to find someone successful and admire her/him. And a way of finding someone successful is because people admire them, so it’s what some may say a “positive feedback”.
Then some people stop being fans of others because life changes a lot in a very short time. And then some lose interest in stars and others don’t.
I think that modern society with all the mass media makes us think that if we never get admired we’re losers, so some people, especially lately goes on feeling unsure and admiring and obsessed by those star. I don’t think that before the age of mass-media such a fan-culture could be possible.
Ask your grandparents who their heroes were when they were young and it’s probable that they were closer people than ours, like most people in this forum, who worship a couple of people of a country they’ve never even been in and know little about their culture.
Did I make any sense? :D

Yes you did :D
I think, in my case, I tend to LOVE people very much. Much more than most people do. And if they make me feel amazing (like Rox do) then I’m totaly crazy about them.
Hm... not some explanation, huh? :/
