In the case of celebrities and pro athletes I think many people think they have lost touch with reality and are getting a grounding in those cases when something does happen. Celebs and athletes can certainly get away with more than a regular person can and I would suspect that many people are resentful of this at least ones that are not the enablers of their behavior. Also the fact that when they do get this fame and privilege, or at least since they are allowed to get away with more they suddenly think they are experts on all areas and spout off sophistries, more so with Celebs and politicians, athletes don't really say anything but indulge in the corpulent decedent lifestyle that they now feel owed. The Golden Rule is fine but many of these Celeb types certainly don't abide by this rule. I am fine with giving someone a second chance to behave better but not a 5th or 20th chance, obviously by that point they are not going to change.

Of course if the hero worship would stop and there were not so many enablers to them it would occur less. Also if the money involved was not out of balance that alone would likely fix many of the issues involved. If all of it went away I guess I would care as I think it is a big waste of resources and waste of time.
