"celebrity culture was taking the place of religion"
Not really, religion has traditionaly offered us explanations for why we exist and justifies our existence within a framework. celebrity culture does not do this, they are not dieties and we are pretty fickle in our following of them.
If celebrity culture were in any way as potent and as powerful as religion in it's ability to take a position in a persons live as a justification for who they are then we wouldn't be so quick to bring them down, as much as we like to see someone famous doing well we really prefer to watch when the shit hits the fan for them
