Great post, this definitely needs to be considered more.

For me, celebrity culture is a disease that now infests our society, with potentially serious consequences. The internet has allowed this disease to spread faster and wider than it would otherwise.

I place mush of the blame for this on a leadership void that now exists, particularly with respect to political leadership or more accurately lack of. Politicians consistently abuse the people that put them there. In other words, they don't value their leadership - and now either do large sections of our societies.

In fact, the only difference between Perez Hilton and many politicians is at least he's honest about his motivations.

Power for the sake of power, influence for the sake of influence? Not good! Surely the ultimate goal of every short human life is to attempt to leave the place a little bit better off? We need as a society to find ways to remind ourselves because we obviously find this so easy to forget.
