as with anything in human nature, I think it's possible to stop if the main drivers of such things made a conscious effort to refuse to cover it, make money off it, etc. given that humans are also inherently greedy and will make money off the worst things, that's the part I don't see changing.

before pop celebs it was royals. royalty and their courts were the trend-setters, fashion followed what they did. that apparently goes back as far as the pharaohs so humans have been doing this stupid looking-for-trends-from-our-admired-heroes thing for at least 5000 documented years. we can be better, but will we?

I always think of Maria Bamford's standup joke on this: "I do worship celebrities because they're very powerful, their moods create weather... I was feeling bad about it, but then I was like, of course, I'm just a tiny, frightened animal. You know, I look towards the most powerful and fertile of our species for information on how to survive. I need to find out what that Jennifer Aniston is doing, she's a strong sexy monkey. She's gonna tell us where all the bananas are located."

DA - Huh. I like this.

Agreed. I don't think this trend (if you can call something that's gone on for like, all of human history) will go away any time soon. Liking celebrities or finding out that they've done awful things (also not new!) doesn't make any difference.
