Why some fans worship and are obsessed with celebrities?

I said some people not all of course but the ones who does. I mean I can admire a movie star for their work they do on a film, if the work they do is worth to watch. I also may like when I see that movie star all dress up for a movie premiere or some TV interviews and talk about their projects and even when they like to share their personal life to the public, becuse they like to share it, noone forced them to do it. But my liking for that celeb ends there, I dont consider myself a toxic worshiper fan at all, just an common fan period who enjoy movies for entertainment purposes. But there are some super devoted fans that even get upset when anotehr person criticizes their favorite celeb and get into arguments with taht other person about some bad gossip or rumors about their favorite celebrity and a person can't say anything bad about it beacuse they call you "You are jealous", " they have money so they can do whatever they want", "leave them alone", " do not criticize them" "they are the greatest singer in the world noone else can compare with her/him" among many other commetns these toxic fans say to other people who do not think like them, cause they defend at all cost their favorite stars (actors, singers) .

These toxic fans put the celeb into a pedestal like they are Semi Gods or something. For instance and if the celeb for any reason makes a mistake and it is leaked to the press, cause we are all human beings and not perfect, we all make mistakes including the celebs, if a person lets say on a social media site wants to give an opinion about the mistake the celeb did, and criticize their actions, the super devoted fans start questioning the other person and defend their favorite celeb, even if the celeb did make the mistake but for the fans, the celeb would never do such a thing cause "he or she is a very nice person because that is

is the image this celeb gives to the press and media".
These fans are super intense. I got recently into an argument on social media with a intense Beyonce fan. It was about Beyonce giving a concert in Dubai recently and the event organizer paid her millions of $$$. So I said somthing that I simply do not like Beyonce and why people treat her like she is some sort of Semi God or a superior entity from another world. Then this intense fan replied to me: "Are you crazy?

She is the Queen, she is art on the stage, noone can compare with her, her vocals are art. she is beautiful, she is the Queen". I mean celebs are just like us only with much money and power (hehe!!) they make mistakes too these toxic fans never will believe their fav celeb can also make mistakes or do bad things they will defend bad criticism, they stand up to them even if the celeb sure did a bad thing. These fans behave like they are close relatives, friends who can't say a negative thing.
