I will never understand people obsession with celebrities

I will never understand people obsession with celebrities. I mean they are just people I don’t care what they do in their private lives and I really don’t care to meet them just because they are on tv.

So my mom calls me and says someone just moved in the the house near theirs and was over petting our animals. She asked me if I ever heard of them and says their name is “famous celebrity name” they are very famous and I said yes I have heard of them she tells me if I want to meet them to come over right now. I didn’t really care to meet them so I told her I can’t come over right now. A couple hours later I tell my husband who just moved in next to my parents and he was over at their house and he got all mad at me for not saying anything earlier because he would of went over to meet them. He made me feel really bad over something so dumb and I just can’t understand people obsession with wanting to meet celebrities.
