I don't think there's anything wrong with having posters and t-shirts with someone you admire on.

Most people admire someone, although not always a celebrity. Why not let them express that? If I found a t-shirt with someone I love on, then I would be extremely amused (if only because you'd never find the people I admire on a t-shirt).

Worship is too far, though.

Well, I wouldn't call it worship but, sometimes, I can't help myself ;)

Hiya,

I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. I am disabled (on the more severe end of the spectrum) It probably looks like I don't have a lot in my life.

A lot of my older male relatives think certain musicians are brilliant, and I grew up to love them all too. I'd sit listening, fascinated. When I’m in pain they've cheered me up, when I've seen them live they've brought me to tears, and I doubt there's anything they can't do. I take that back, there is one thing – that is “disappoint me”.

if you don't like what they have on their walls, don't visit their bedrooms?

We used to look up to people who did stuff. Now we look up to people who pretend to do stuff.

You should everyone who does is a bitch needs to be locked away and a danger to the community. I got smacked by my fangirl freind since I did not say I was also " In love with this star from Japan". I was a person they talk to everyday but still lose out to some idiot they never met? the fuck is with that! I was threatened by a crowd that loved justin bieber once they cussed me out and said they skin me since I said his music was just "ok". I do not mind fans by any mean but I do hate when people will blindly follow in name of a celeberty since he sang "I love you baby"and you hope the random attacks will make them love you. I mean these people are a hazard they are insane and need to be locked in a whiteroom so the rest of us do not have to worry about being sacrificed to thier celeberty god. I mean even having shrines of them in your room is fine but do not attack a innocint bistandard!

I can partially understanding what you mean. For example, I dislike the fanatics at my school who worship Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. I'm not saying I'm not a fan of either of those books by they're hyperactive behavior annoys me. I'll admit that some of it is based on jealousy but for the most I dislike their cult like actions towards these things.

I just find it very useless when people worship celebrities, or even worry about them. I mean, honestly, who gives a shit? They don't even know you exist, you're not related to them, if you die they'll normally keep on living, and they're human beings just like the rest of us.

A lot of the people I knew who constantly obsessed over a celebrity either didn't have much going on on their lives or had problems. Each person either grew out of it or moved on to another celebrity obcession.

Yeah, it's a bit stupid. I appreciate famous bodybuilders because looking up to people who worked really hard to get where they are really motivates me in my training. But actually *worshipping*? nah, we're all just people.

Admiring a celebrity is fine. Worshiping, not so fine. I see what you're saying.

My deep infatuation for Gerard Way is going to cause you to stone me.

Ok, I honestly think your doing this for attention. "Disgusted"? Woww, why does it matter that much to you what other people do? If it makes them happy get the hell over it. It's normal to be annoyed but don't go overboard and say disgusted, because thats just weird.

I agree with you. I think it's normal. Especially when the celebrities don't really do anything, and therefore don't deserve their fame! People can take their obsession a bit too far...

I only think it's normal that you're annoyed by those people who are completely obsessed my someone useless like Paris Hilton ad Kim Kardashian, who are known for being useless. When I hear people saying that they're their role models I honestly think: what the hell is wrong with you? Go and reevaluate your life. But I think it's ok if people admire musicians. I honestly know people whose lifes were saved by music, because people can relate to lyrics.

I should become a celebrity...

...then I can turn my fans into a crew of personal servants for minimal pay!

I agree. I have had celebrity and fictional crushes before but I know how to be realistic. Like I don't ignore guys I have a chance with just for that reason. And worship is going too far; there is only one higher power and that's God (no offense to anyone with different beliefs). This guy I had a thing for over a year ago said some famous chik was going to be his wife. I don't still like him in that way, I've sorta found someone else, but I'm just saying it was kinda sickening and I don't want that situation to repeat in the future. Not only is she untalented but she's not even nice as a person. Hope her career bombs. :)

i think it's whack. i don't like the idea of putting a stranger who probably wouldn't give a shit about you, putting them above people that you actually know who love you in real life. and i hate the idea of autographs, just everything about them. there are probably about 4 musicians who i feel like i know and identify with, and they helped me through my addiction and depression. but i know they are humans and don't fantasize about them. maybe i'm just as bad as people that read celebrity magazines and watch television, i don't know.

Nothing wrong with it - but we do go overboard you are quite right there.
