I can't go so far as to say I idolize any one of them.

I especially liked the idea that people with low self esteem are especially drawn to celebrities, and you're certainly right about that famous experiment which showed that people will pretty much "go along with the crowd" I recently did an episode on this exact topic for my podcast and I touched on your suggestions as well as making a few of my own (including the idea that we get star struck because..believe it or not...we're afraid of dying). The episode is called, "Why Are We So Fascinated by Famous People?": http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2010/08/episode-130-video-why-are-we-so-fascinated-by-famous-people/ Good insights on this topic.
