You are exaggerating and equivocating here. Pop culture 'obsessing' about these things is hardly worshiping. And I would say that pop culture concentrating on these things is an artifact of the fact that these are desirable, status enhancing things. Individuals desire these things, so popular culture obsesses about them. It's more fascination and want than it is worship.
I would say it's more than worship...with all of the physical and emotional obsession, without the mental dogma. I see the same actions attributed to a different form.

True, the ancient celebrity were warriors, kings or gladiators, not actors...they actually did things.
On the same page I read a story about Brad Pitt who wrote a letter to Costco asking them to make sure there chickens were free range and treated well. They're working on it.
When Bard Pitt tells you to be nice to chickens, you be nice to chickens. lol
