What do they do?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Stars, as in astronomical bodies that you see in the night sky? Or the one I think you mean, as in "super stars"?
I think the reason people like stars is based on the human tendency to imitate. People want people they can look up to. Stars provide a perfect model for everyone else: rich, famous, popular. You can "figure out" what to do with your life just by grabbing a magazine and following the instructions therein. Also people like beauty... they gravitate towards it, we were built to appreciate it. Hence the giant market for gorgeous people. Unfortunately many people often gravitate towards the wrong things, and that can cause problems.

However, ambition is not necessarily a bad thing. I just hope humanity will realize the right thing to aspire to.
