She thinks it all has to do with expecting a celebrity to be perfect. Dr. Leong thinks it is an easy fix, just stop buying celebrity mags, exercise, get a hobby. Instant fix. It isn't I wrote three books on the subject of celebrity obession. You can get a copy of Overcoming Celebrity obsession online. I wonder how many books Dr. Leong has written on the subject? None probably. I think how a fan feels towards a celebrity is an individual thing. Some think celebrities are interesting, some think celebtrities are perfect, and some fans are just in love with a particular celebrity. It it is celebrity worship, I think the fan should be the one to decide that. It takes working through the layers of the obsession and the fan's personal life to be able to reach that level.

I read so much about them, had been on their web sites/fb pages, spent time in their chat rooms. They used to be real famous, but not really much anymore. Still popular but don't draw millions anymore, I guess you could say has beens. As I was standing and talking to some people, I accidentally backed into one of the band members. I said "hello," and he just walked away. He didn't know me. I knew all about him, his likes, dislikes, all his history wrote on his page and he didn't even give me a second glance. It hurt, but it served as a reminder that this admiration is is all one-sided. If I were to drop dead, he wouldn't care. Well, that is that. I now need to focus on my own fan base more, in my case, husband, children, mom and dad while I still got them, grandpa while I still got him. Well, I recently went to a concert of my favorite band.

Nothing wrong with an interest but obsession and worship are a big NO NO! I wrote a similar article in which I outlined that there is a difference between celebrity worship and celebrity interest.

After that i just became very very obsessed with the band especially the lead singer. I keep thinking of them everyday and just want to search about their news all the time. And it gives a very negative effect on my studies. I'm no longer study or doing my homework anymore even in school because i cannot concentrate. I'm only interested in doing things related to the band. But without the band i have nothing else to focus in my life, and i would feel the life is meaningless at all and totally be lost. I really want to stop myself but i just cannot. I've tried your methods but they just did not work.

I still think it's biased and trying to make people feel guilty when they shouldn't. Substituting anti-celebrity sentiment for so-called 'celebrity worship' isn't much better IMO. The haters can be just as obsessed as those who worship the ground a star walks on...and probably a lot more dangerous. If you wanna stop "worshiping" a celebrity fine...just make sure you're not switching one "addiction" for another...and don't judge those who do happen to enjoy things that have to do with celebrities. It's their right if they want to do that and they don't need some guilt trip. I stand by my previous comments, and I did NOT miss the point of this article.

Like others have said, I also think “Marie”, missed the point of your article. Some people, like me, start gathering info about celebrities because it gives us a break from our own lives, but at some point it starts to take over your life, becomes the main focus of your day.

Thanks for the article. I want to get out of celebrity worship and get on with my life.

It is never healthy to be interested in celebrities, besides perhaps slight curiosity. That is my opinion and belief. People are interested in celebrities not because they are good people, but because they are merely famous. This is wrong, and sad.<br /> <br /> Addressing Marie.. Obsessing over anything too much can be damaging. Sports, religion, politics, and pets are hardly different. Pro athletes are indeed celebrities. Religious figures can be celebrities, politicians too, as well as animals even! She said "obsessing" though. Obsessing is damaging like I said.<br /> <br /> When people stop worshipping and obsessing over people merely due to their fame then we will grow stronger and more close to each other as human beings. <br /> <br /> Celebrity worship MUST stop.<br /> <br /> <br /> This article is weak, but nonetheless celebrity worship is always wrong.

When people stop worshipping and obsessing over people merely due to their fame then we will grow stronger and more close to each other as human beings.

Celebrity worship MUST stop.
