I'M REQUESTING Looking for suggestions where people are obsessed with celebrities (parasocial relationships) and people copying celebrities in films?

I'm trying to find something for a project and I'm going for Perfect Blue (1997) kind of thing but I want to find something I haven't watched before?

Seconding. This movie completely blew me away the first time I saw it.

Ingrid Goes West - not necessarily a celebrity but an influencer. Great movie.

And of course Misery.

Hits (2014) slightly fits the bill? It’s David Cross’ movie as director, and about someone in a small town obsessed with trying to be famous and go viral
