I find this constant idolization of celebrities to be wearisome. I find it especially irritating when people say I should have heard of X as s/he is one of the most famous people on the planet.
Why?? What profound thoughts do they have? Or what have they done to earn my interest? People become celebrities mainly through happenstance. There's no reason to admire them. And no, I won't read up about them.
