As your perception sounds quite negative I’ll try to change your view!
Instead of looking down on people fanatifally following a “celebrity”, take pity on them:

In short: their brain chemistry tricks them into thinking that they are following a friend and have the emotional reactions and interests as we’d hope our real friends do.
I find it really sad to be honest.
