Celebrities are different from everyday people in a lot of things in everyday life. Celebrities are idolized on almost everything and they have people to do things for them instead of doing things themselves, unlike everyday people that do everything their selves. Like with the example in class with Taylor Swift were she didn't carry her own gym bag, she had some handler carrying it. She also has created this image of her not being able to wear the same thing twice. Everyday people don't have the money to be doing that, we can't afford to be constantly buying new clothes, or we don't have the connections to be borrowing clothes for their free publicity.
Celebrities are used for our entertainment because we enjoy hearing stories about them. They influence everyday life for everyday people. Everyday people tend to want to do things that the celebrity is doing, it gives us verisimilitude which is a connection to reality and it also gives us identification which also gives us a connection to ourselves.
