Respondents have called "charitable activities", "type of speech", "political and social positions" and "family life (marriage, divorce, etc.)" in which they want celebrities to model. Consumption of advertising goods in terms of patterns of celebrity is the lowest share.

A phenomenon that continues on a spectrum, from following the thoughts and behavior of celebrities to severe and sick and illusory states. The findings suggest that although respondents are keen to follow the news and celebrities of celebrities and celebrities, this is a fun and fun of talking to others as a fun and enjoyment of celebrity. The results of this study are in line with the findings of McKatchon et al. (2002) and Steve (2009). The emerging relationship between celebrities and supporters calls "social interaction". The term describes our way of thinking and feeling about celebrities that we do not know and they do not know us, but sometimes unconsciously and unintentionally take us to do an act that is sometimes ineffective and irrational. This concept is measured by Lynn McCutchon and his colleagues using the "celebrity worship" scale from a psychological perspective. Using this scale, McCutchon and his colleagues found that celebrity worship was in three widespread categories, namely low -level celebrity worship, they noticed individualistic behaviors such as watching, reading and following celebrity narratives. The second category includes more social activities such as watching celebrities and dialogue with other fans, and in the third category, fans are trying to make celebrities overwhelmed and show severe emotions. The results of this study, sample 3,000, have shown that only about 1 % of celebrity followers have obsessive -compulsive tendencies. About 10 % (those who tend to stress, emotion, and moody) show a strong interest in celebrities. About 14 % said they were trying a lot to know about their favorite celebrity and communicating with people who share their interest. ۱۵ People no longer have any interest in the lives of celebrities. In general, the overwhelming majority are interested in a celebrity, but do not say they always think about them
