So do you also support not educating a vast majority of children because if everyone aspires to be a white collar worker, where will we get our janitors and garbage men from.

One could say the same of lobbying, but there's still a funnel from lobbying straight into government/private sector (and vice versa, depending on who you ask).
Whether you like it or not, entertainers produce goods or entertainment-related services within an economy. That's the definition of an industry.

I'm not clear on the difference you're asserting between Hollywood and Bollywood.

I was racking my brain trying to figure this out as well. someone pray tell
There is a reason Bollywood is a more profitable "industry" than Hollywood, and it's not because their product is better. It's because their society actually nets a profit from production that they can then spend on leisure.
If our best and brightest young children become internet celebrities because it made good sense, then there won't be anyone to keep the gears grinding.
Worse than that, on instagram you're still the product being sold even when you're then one being followed.
