Podcasts about celebrity worship

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

From Taylor Swift's "Lavendergate" scandal to One Direction conspiracy theories colonizing adolescents' personalities, celebrity fandom appears more hallucinatory and brutal now than ever before... or are we overthinking it? A few stats about celebrity worship have been confirmed: In 2019, a Japanese study found that ~30 percent of adolescents aspired to emulate a media figure, as opposed to an IRL role model. A 2021 study measured that celebrity worship had increased dramatically since two decades prior. During times of both global and personal crisis, our culture has increasingly looked to celebrities not only to entertain us, but to save us, and as social media brings us "closer" to our favs than ever, performative online personas exacerbate the illusion of "mother" status. But cycles of celebrity worship and dethronement have grown hostile, and when the stakes of these obsessions range from Dolly Parton to Donald Trump, from Jane Fonda to Ronald Reagan, we have to ask: Is it healthy to elevate entertainers to such pedestals? Why have our expectations of pop stars gotten so high? And even though the dehumanization side of fame seems downright miserable, why do so many fans still crave a taste of it for themselves? New York Times opinion columnist Jessica Grose joins for a sparkling discussion of celebrity worship. - Join the "Magical Overthinkers Club" by following the pod on Instagram @magicaloverthinkers. - To access early, ad-free episodes and more, subscribe to the Magical Overthinkers Substack. - Pick up a hard copy of Amanda's book The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality, or listen to the audiobook. - Sources: Celebrity admiration vs. obsession: New study sheds light on stalking behaviors: https://bit.ly/4ftx0f7 When did we start taking famous people seriously?: https://nyti.ms/4dehd25 More sources in the end notes of The Age of Magical Overthinking, Chapter 1: "Are You My Mother Taylor Swift" To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/MagicalOverthinkersYouTube ; Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you're listening If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be amazing!

“Evidence indicates that poor mental health is correlated with celebrity worship.[13] Researchers have examined the relationship between celebrity worship and mental health in United Kingdom adult samples. One study found evidence to suggest that the intense-personal celebrity worship dimension was related to higher levels of depression and anxiety. Similarly, another study in 2004, found that the intense-personal celebrity worship dimension was not only related to higher levels of depression and anxiety, but also higher levels of stress, negative affect, and reports of illness. Both these studies showed no evidence for a significant relationship between either the entertainment-social or the borderline-pathological dimensions of celebrity worship and mental health.[14] Another correlated pathology examined the role of celebrity interest in shaping body image cognitions. Among three separate UK samples (adolescents, students, and older adults), individuals selected a celebrity of their own sex whose body/figure they liked and admired, and then completed the Celebrity Attitude Scale along with two measures of body image. Significant relationships were found between attitudes toward celebrities and body image among female adolescents only.[6] The findings suggested that, in female adolescence, there is an interaction between intense-personal celebrity worship and body image between the ages of 14 and 16, and some tentative evidence suggest that this relationship disappears at the onset of adulthood, which is between the ages of 17 and 20. These results are consistent with the authors who stress the importance of the formation of relationships with media figures, and suggest that relationships with celebrities perceived as having a good body shape may lead to a poor body image in female adolescents. This can be again supported by a study carried out, which investigated the link between mass media and its direct correlation to poor self-worth/ body image in a sample group of females between the ages of 17 and 20.[5] Within a clinical context the effect of celebrity might be more extreme, particularly when considering extreme aspects of celebrity worship. Relationships between the three classifications of celebrity worship (entertainment-social, intense-personal and borderline-pathological celebrity worship and obsessiveness), ego-identity, fantasy proneness and dissociation were examined. Two of these variables drew particular attention: fantasy proneness and dissociation. Fantasy proneness involves fantasizing for a duration of time, reporting hallucinatory intensities as real, reporting vivid childhood memories, having intense religious and paranormal experiences. Dissociation is the lack of a normal integration of experiences, feelings, and thoughts in everyday consciousness and memory; in addition, it is related to a number of psychiatric problems.[15] Though low levels of celebrity worship (entertainment-social) are not associated with any clinical measures, medium levels of celebrity worship (intense-personal) are related to fantasy proneness (approximately 10% of the shared variance), while high levels of celebrity worship (borderline-pathological) share a greater association with fantasy proneness (around 14% of the shared variance) and dissociation (around 3% of the shared variance, though the effect size of this is small and most probably due to the large sample size). This finding suggests that as "celebrity worship becomes more intense, and the individual perceives having a relationship with the celebrity, the more the individual is prone to fantasies."[16] Celebrity worship syndrome can lead to the manifestation of unhealthy tendencies such as materialism and compulsive buying, which can be supported by a study carried out by Robert. A. Reeves, Gary. A. Baker and Chris. S. Truluck. The results of this study link high rates of celebrity worship to high rates of materialism and compulsive buying.[17].” -Wikipedia. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Send us a Text Message.Be ready for a mind-expanding journey as we challenge the status quo, smashing stereotypes in the process. We sit with the notorious Charleston White, dissecting his views on the persistent plagues of the black community, and navigating the tangle of his beliefs. There's plenty of heat as we challenge his past choices, including his time rubbing shoulders with politicians and media outlets, and we're not shy about expressing our own disappointment with stars like Barack Obama and Deion Sanders, who we believe could do so much more. The storm doesn't let up as we peel back the layers of celebrity worship, its impact on our community and the dangerous fallacies it perpetuates. There's more to success than glitz and glamor, and we're passionate about hammering this home. We don't stop there. We examine the reality of our youth, the stereotypes they're fed, and the dearth of positive role models for them to emulate. We're not just talking about problems, we're advocating for solutions: more resources, more opportunities, fair wages, and better living conditions.It's a rollercoaster ride as we shift from serious subjects to lighter ones, from the comedic genius of Dave Chapelle to the courtroom drama of Jonathan Majors. We're not afraid to call it as we see it, comparing the true comedic brilliance of Chappelle to the half-baked skits of lesser comedians. And, we wrap up with the hard-hitting topics, men sharing sexual experiences, and the worrying implications of education changes in Texas. Put your seatbelt on because this is one conversation you won't want to miss.

Ever wonder how the intoxicating lure of fame can easily tip into idolatry? We unpack this complex issue, stirred by recent real-life events where a Twitch streamer's giveaway spiraled into a riot. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, we scrutinize King Herod's story, reminding us that God's gifts are meant to serve people and the glory should, without fail, be directed heavenwards. We don't just stop there. We also dissect the responsibilities that come with fame, particularly for those using their platforms to promote God's word. Remember John the Baptist? His life teachings offer stellar insights about leading by example and pointing people back to God. But the pitfalls of fame are many and we don't shy away from discussing them - from the intoxicating admiration that fuels pride to the mental health implications of always being under scrutiny. We also draw from Romans 8:5 to emphasize the significance of the mind's diet in shaping our actions.As we wrap up, we tackle the thorny issue of performance pressure that comes with fame, especially in this era of social media. Incorporating lessons from how Jesus retreated when his popularity surged, we stress on the need for caution and intentionality when using these platforms. We also revisit the command of Sabbath and its relevance in today's times. Lastly, we examine the necessity of a quiet life, away from the prying eyes of the public, rooting our discussions in the understanding that misplaced worship can be detrimental. So tune in and let's journey through celebrity, fame, idolatry, and humility, guided by Jesus' teachings.Join our Community: https://just-different.circle.so/checkout/communityListen to our Playlist:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1f5gqYjB4Di8QL8RHvzCUs?si=90d88120e4ad4aafApple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/puttin-you-on/pl.u-b3b8VPGSKqymRqa

Evan Ross Katz (@evanrosskatz) is a writer and podcast host who's become wildly popular on Instagram for his witty takes on pop culture (and Sarah Michelle Gellar super-fandom). Celebs themselves may not often be taboo, but their stans can be -- and taking a challenging stance against our collective obsession with fame certainly is. Evan was the perfect person to discuss, and debate, this with.We kvetch about the shifting media landscape & merging of traditional celebrities with influencers, virality replacing hard-earned talent, the post-BLM expectation for celebrities to double as activists, how to be a thorough journalist AND a good person, and Evan's his own rise to internet fame and newfound friendships with the glitterati.

In this episode, I touch on a topic that some people might not realize that they are actually apart of.  The idolizing of celebrities has hit an all time high and has even some fully grown adults ready to fist fight anyone who dares speak negatively about a person who they will never in life even come in contact with. Men who fight at sports games, tweens with "STAN" accounts of their favorite singer, and keyboard warriors ready to pounce on anyone who opposes their beloved star.The National Library of Medicine has studies on the psychological effects that celebrity worship concluded that intense personal celebrity worship was associated with poorer mental health, and particularly with poorer general health (depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, social dysfunction) and negative affect (negative affect, stress, and low positive affect and life satisfaction). YIKES. 

This week the boys start by breaking down different accents from different corners of the country, and deciding whether America as a whole has an accent.
