Why do people pardon celebrities and famous people's indiscretions?

For example all of the celebrities that continually go to jail and get busted for drugs. (Kate Moss, Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, numerous others.....). All the celebrities that are just nasty whores that the only thing they do is flash their privates all the time. ( the Girls Next Door hoes, Kim K,Pam Anderson). All the celebrities who constantly have affairs (too many to list..) and say rude and racist things ( Megan Fox, Mel Gibson, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, Jay-Z, John Mayer, Charlie Sheen....) ? Why? Why do people still like and pay these people? They are worshiped like gods and most of them are just total ****. People still watch all those celebrity show, read tabloid mags, buy their music, and crap like that. I mean what's the point of having an idol if they're bad people?
