I do see what you're saying, but I'm not sure that that many celebrity figures want to be in a culture that worships them.
Sure, some do, Paris in particular! And I am certain that George Clooney and Robbie Williams both thank their lucky stars every day that popularity comes with totty, but the vast majority of talented actors, writers and musicians are pretty normal (as examples I give you Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet and several other people named C/Kate, as well as Yo-Yo Ma, David Bowie these days and 90% of authors I could think of (except for Philip Pullman, he wants more fame;-)) Why is it that success in the arts needs to be accompanied by clebrity. Why can't you just be skilled and private? The paparazzi do not stalk Nobel prize winning physicists!
Maybe we should all agree to only follow the travails of those who enjoy celebrity: Britney, Jade Goody and the cast of every reality program ever ... though I think it wold be kinder to find them all professional help.
