" IMO, most people are not 'idolizing' actors/actresses. They may enjoy watching certain actors/actresses in their films/shows, allowing themsevles to escape away into fantasy, briefly, before hitting the salt mines in the real work a day world. "
But most are idolizing them when they fantasize briefly or fixate about them, their lives, their careers, etc.
"You don't have to be 'spiritually deprived' to appreciate an actor/actresses talent."
That's true but we all know too many youth are fed a slow and methodical drip of the glitz n glam factory like heroin to junkies. They are a specifically TARGETED market group who are raised on "entertainment".
Let me be more clear. I think most people do NOT fantasize about the actor/actress. I think they escape/fantasize into the story, kind of like 'dreams' and 'day dreams'.
Entertainment is NOT a bad thing.
If all you look for is the negative aspect in something, then that is all that you will find.
