Would we be able to live without celebrities? Yes, but life would be a lot less interesting without them. It isn't exactly a good thing either. For example, how many celebrities break the law and get away with it because they have the money to do so? Or, how many celebrities are there that don't live in the real world while not caring how their desires and actions affect others? The answer would be there's quite a lot. However, not all celebrities have a bad influence on society. It's just that the majority do and unfortunately, this puts celebrities in a bad light.

Breaking laws and getting away with it:

Quite a few celebrities drink and then drive ending up with them getting pulled over. What follows will also be relevant to other laws that are broken.

After breaking the law and spending some time at the local jail, getting a ticket or any number of other actions that can be used to interrogate or punish law breakers, the actual punishment tends to be less worse than it is for normal people. If a celebrity gets off lightly or isn't punished at all for breaking the law, then it doesn't reflect well on the system because normal people wouldn't be so lucky. Thus celebrities use their money, power and connections to their advantage via abusing the system's loopholes. The chances are also rather good that celebrities will break the law again and get away with it completely or only face minor consequences.

In other words, some celebrities either think or are in actual fact above the law.

Celebrities create a scene to get noticed:

It's true. Some of the things you read about them are too bizarre to even contemplate a normal person going through. Without mentioning names, take a look at a pop star or two and ask yourself if what you read about their troubled lifes are staged or not. In fact, the problems you read about might not be staged but if they're not, then it begs the question as to what the state of mind of certain celebrities is actually like. Or rather, what their personality is like and how it would be to live with or know them.

Honestly, some of the people things read about them are just too unbelievable to be true.

They don't care about others:

A lot of celebrities tend to be too embroiled in what they want to care or think about others. Often, they view normal, working class people as below them because they're not rich and because they're not popular. This also ties into the fact that a lot of celebrities think they're the only thing that matters and everyone
