His contribution to hip-hop music is undeniable, especially his first six solo albums and his work as a producer in the late 90s/early 00s. His public persona was always a bit annoying, but ultimately harmless.

2020 changed that. His presidential run was a bridge too far for me, especially since it was funded/managed by right-wing operatives who probably wanted to use him as a spoiler candidate. And the quality of his music has also diminished. Not a lot of redeeming qualities left to hold on to.

To find out more about our fascination with celebrity culture and our eagerness to learn more about their day-to-day lives, we reached out to Kelli S. Burns, Ph.D., an associate professor at the University of South Florida and author of Celeb 2.0: How Social Media Foster Our Fascination with Popular Culture. "Celebrities possess the qualities that many regular people desire, specifically money, fame, success, and physical beauty," she told Bored Panda.

"While celebrities lead glamorous lives enjoying beautiful homes, luxurious vacations, expensive restaurants, and designer clothes, fans are also fascinated with celebrities when their lives are seemingly relatable to regular people." The professor added that this is the reason why content like Us Weekly’s feature Stars—They’re Just Like Us! is so popular. Moreover, "Paparazzi photos of celebrities grocery shopping, walking dogs, and dropping children off at school remind us that celebrities aren’t perfect."

Many years ago, a friend of mine in Houston waited on her and her entourage at a very nice restaurant. She demanded that the place's very starstruck manager go to the store and get the kind of bottled water she liked, because she wasn't doing that tap bull***t and they didn't carry the kind she liked. She and her people needled the hell out of my friend until the manager got back from the store with it, and then complained when it wasn't served cold, even though he of course brought glasses of ice with it.

She ran my friend ragged, and laughed the whole time. B**ched and called him names at every opportunity. We were both servers at that point, and I'd gone to his restaurant and asked for him at times (hey, if you're gonna tip someone, might as well keep it in the family), so I know he was damned good at what he did. I saw how he treated all his tables. He loved his job and did his best at all times.

She and her friends stiffed him. Zero tip. After camping out at that table, in that private room that was given just to her and nobody else, for 3 hours. Just because she could.

I never liked her after that. "I'm just Jenny from the block" my *a*s*.

It’s easy for us to show admiration to our favorite superstars and hope that one day we might become just like them. However, Burns explained that sometimes we get slightly too invested in our heroes' lives. "Some fans can experience a condition called celebrity worship, which is an extreme feeling of attachment to a celebrity," she noted.

"Celebrity worship often starts with parasocial relationships, which are one-sided relationships that fans feel when they experience celebrities via the media. Social media can intensify feelings of attachment because fans have increased access to a celebrity through the photos and videos shared not only by the celebrity, but also by other fans," she noted. It turns out that this unlimited access to celebrity lifestyles can increase desires among fans for what the people in the public eye possess.

"While parasocial relationships are considered normal, celebrity worship can have detrimental consequences for both the celebrity and the fan when taken to the extreme," she noted that unhealthy levels of celebrity obsession often come with a cost. "A celebrity may become the victim of an obsessed fan who becomes a stalker. Fans who worship celebrities often suffer from poor mental health, although it’s not clear whether the obsession caused the mental health issues or the mental health issues caused the obsession."

When asked why people stop respecting their beloved celebrities, the professor mentioned it’s important to remember that they are regular people who also make mistakes. However, their slip-ups are more likely to trend on Twitter and be discussed in entertainment news and by everyone online. "Fans often stop admiring celebrities when they realize their values are not in line with those of the celebrity," Burns added. "For example, the celebrity might make a racist comment, cheat on a spouse, … or resort to physical violence."

"Fans idolize celebrities and put them on a pedestal where they are seemingly immune to mistakes. When celebrities are involved in a scandal, fans can feel hurt because their perception is now out of line with reality. Being disappointed in someone you admired and respected is a natural reaction when they make a mistake."

According to Burns, those who follow the lives of famous people should consider whether their admiration and interest is a healthy or unhealthy practice. "For some fans, a celebrity may inspire them to follow their dreams of becoming a musical artist, Broadway actor, or film director. Many celebrities also support causes that fans might benefit from knowing more about, such as mental health."

"At the same time, fascination with a celebrity can cross the line into an unhealthy obsession where fans spend an inordinate amount of time trying to interact with celebrities online or feel depressed about their own lives when comparing themselves to celebrities," the professor concluded.

While I do feel badly for his victim and what he did to her, I can only feel pity for him. Again, not a pass, but I do think that’s the pivotal moment where everything fell apart in his life.

Ok I will not defend what he did, though I point out, as others have, that his "victim" believes that THE SIGNIFICANT GAOL TIME HE HAS ALREADY SERVED for this crime is enough. He fully cooperated with law enforcement and served the time he was sentenced to, which wasn't enough by today's standards but was normal for the time. It's only because of his public profile that the US judicial system sought to retry him, and he left the country. Still find him slightly abhorrent but am in awe of his film career.

Moved this from comment on Tarantino: Part of the problem: "Geimer has publicly forgiven Polanski, who gave her pills & alcohol & then had unlawful sex with her in 1977 at the residence of Jack Nicholson. Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978 before sentencing in court, Geimer has testified that Polanski should be sentenced to “time served” and not face another trial should he return to the U.S. In 2014, she wrote a memoir, The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski. “What I was really trying to say to those who called is, I don’t care. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not upset, this and worse has been happening to me for years. I am aware my rape is being used to attack him & I really don’t like that,” Geimer said ...Then these POS you don't hate but ought to: Actor Harrison Ford accepted an award for Polanski. celebrities Meryl Streep, Whoopi Goldberg, Natalie Portman spoke out in his defense.

Polanski's then-wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family while she was pregnant with their child. The murderers scrawled "pig" on the wall in her blood. While this in no way excuses his later actions, that's not something you'd wish on anyone. As others have pointed out, he probably has untreated PSTD as well as issues from his childhood abuse and substance misuse (in fact, his substance abuse could well be self-medicating in origin). Sadly this is the cycle of violence.

There was no actual rape but there was a theft of agency, humiliation, and exploitation of a 19 year old's "authentic reaction" to a surprise scene. The person to blame is the director Bernardo Bertolucci, though, not Brando.

Oof, here’s a recent one, I just lost my respect for a celebrity the past few weeks: Kris Wu

As someone who really admired his English and Mandarin music, plus the acting roles he’s been is, I always saw him as a strong and brave person for the stuff he went through. He used to be in a Kpop group, for instance, and from what we know, not only was he discriminated against and paid less for being Chinese, but it was once leaked that he was suffering myocarditis(?), basically implying he could have a heart attack anytime. The company didn’t care and he left, which I thought was good for his health despite the hate he got.

Now, recently (TW//) it’s been revealed that he’s been drugging and r**ing many underage girls, including one at the age of 13. China has deleted many of his public accounts and he is now in custody. He is such a vile disgusting person and I am so ashamed to have looked up to him. I hope the victims get the care and peace they need, and I hope justice is served.

Jimmy Fallon.

Loved him on Late Night, which would air after The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He had a lot of funny stuff back then. He made fun of everyone, had a lot of good skits, etc.

When he took over The Tonight Show though, it didn’t take long for his own personality and jokes to get clouded by how the media felt he needed to act or behave, which he gave in to. After him messing up Trump’s hair and people making a huge deal about that, that’s when I think he changed to be the media’s pawn. He only makes more socially acceptable jokes now and is way less genuine. You can just tell by watching him it’s not who he is - that he’s trying to cater to who he thinks he needs to be. The fake laugh is the cherry on top. It’s a shame too because he could’ve been up there with the greats.

Then he b**ches and moans about people's complains on how he's changed and how 2015/2016/2017 Pewdiepie was better, which is the undeniable truth.

I am so late to this post that no one will probably see this but Gwen Stefani. I used to pretty much be a stan, we called ourselves “lambies.” Gwen always used to be extremely involved with all her projects, even to the point of hand sewing sequins on to garments in her fashion show. She always really stuck to not wanting to be the “shampoo girl” and wouldn’t do endorsements or just put her name on anything unless it was really something she worked on directly.

Right around the time she started to rep L’Oréal is when she became a complete sellout for me. Did she really think anyone would believe she’s using that box dye on her perpetually bleached head? Her hair would be falling out. There may have been some things before that but after that it seems she would put her name on anything for a check, and signed on to do things like The Voice, and became a daily tabloid celebrity with her relationship with Blake Shelton. She also basically just left the rest of No Doubt in the dust after the Push and Shove album. Save for a couple of musicians she kept along for her solo and Vegas stuff. I don’t even remember seeing anything from her supporting the Dreamcar project the band did after she pretty much moved on.

She really just seemed to give up on everything that made me respect her so much before, even though she was a big name and millionaire artist she really stayed true to her original values until the L’Oréal thing. The only song she’s released on her newer stuff that’s been any good has been “Used to Love You,” and that’s probably because it was written by Justin Tranter. In her past career she wrote nearly everything she sang. It’s kind of a bummer because I had made a lot of friends through that fandom and we shared a lot of awesome experiences, but she just isn’t the same anymore and I’ve lost a lot of respect.

I think he expected to be charged with it, even though he says he didn't know.

So many of these are just people hearing something once and automatically assuming it's true, and starting to hate on that celeb. I'm not saying it couldn't be true, but it's an incredibly biased approach.

Stupid, ignorant, rude, racist, homophobic, sexist, or just down right nasty people make their way in all sorts of careers. Generally speaking in order to become a celebrity or a famous sportsperson or similar you have to be driven, you have to be single minded and look after number one, when the world (or just the media) tell you that you are important then that morphs into a massive ego or a belief your views are more important than anyone else’s. You believe your own hype, then your fans actually meet you face-to-face and all of that huge ego needs preening and stroking, if they don’t then you become an entitled a*s. On the other hand, everyone has a bad day at the office don’t they? Those celebs tend to apologise if they’ve been out of order though. As for the sexual predators, they can get in the sea.

Can’t believe Michael Jackson isn’t on the list. I was a huge fan until the interview he did admitting to questionable interactions with young boys. Add on the crazy plastic surgeries and dangling his baby over the balcony. I just lost a lot of respect for him.

What surprises me most, in this "enlightened/woke" world, is that any of you fell for it. Perhaps, being an 80s kid, I am particularly WOKE to all the fake in the world long before it became a status symbol. Perhaps I was born one of those who sees beyond the veneer? Either way, you have to lack 99% common sense to believe a celebrity is ANYTHING like the characters they portray. Has society become so f*****g stupid, really???

I used to admire the band Panic! at the Disco (especially the lead singer/frontman, Brendan Urie). It wasn't until learning more about some allegations against both Urie and his friend/security guy. After that, I started listening to their music less. I eventually stopped listening to their music after learning even more things about band members that had allegations against them and Urie's personality (he has a big ego and takes advantage of other band members). After coming to that realization, I was kinda bummed that members of one of my favorite bands was capable of harassing fans and making rude questionable comments.

Really disgusted (but hardly surprised) to see Ellen DeGeneres on this list. She may have treated her staff terribly at times, but trust me, none of this would have happened if it weren't for a salty guest named Nikkie Tutorials. Rule number one: if you are going on a talk show that regularly interviews celebrities as a non-celebrity guest, don't expect any special treatment, and don't get all pissy when you don't get any. One of my writing WIP is a five -book saga in which I want to work with a celebrity foundation raising money for cystic fibrosis research. I started dreaming of having her help me to really open these doors (because, you know, she's always looking for people who "do good" in their lives and their communities) and I would have conducted myself like the professional author/writer and humanitarian on the rise that I wanted to be. I would NOT have expected people to look at me as if I'm related to Princes William and Harry the way old Nikkie expected.

Surprised JK Rowling doesn't seem to be on here, although I guess she's not really a celebrity. I grew up loving the Harry Potter books and could probably recite each one from memory, but then she went and did... all that.

Just my opinion but the bit I find weird is that people 'love' someone for acting in films anyway. Being paid to pretend to be someone else 🤷‍♀️ We don't know them. In interviews they will also have their public persona on display. Why would anyone know who they are or what they are like really? It is part of the self promotion that keeps them in work. Will Smith... what he did was repugnant but what he went through as a child is probably why he did it. Unresolved trauma. Doesn't excuse it, he is a grown man and can control his actions. He made a conscious choice to keep going when he had time to rethink. It does provide an explanation and context. He felt powerless as a child to help his mother and this was his chance to right that (wrongly). Clearly needs to go and sort his head out. Not going to stop enjoying the films he has been in over it. Separate the job, the acting, from the person. These are not heroes or role models, they are just actors.
