Believe it or not, you sound an awful lot like Philip Yancey, former editor of Christianity Today, and author of a number of very readable and reasonably-well-thought-out books.
His discussion of "God the Celebrity" is on page 127 of his book Reaching for the Invisible God, Zondervan, 2000. He talks about how difficult it is, and how many intermediaries there are, between ordinary people and celebrities. His (brief) discussion of Pentecostals opens a later chapter.
I can't tell you how weird it is to read what you've written above, because so much of it is so familiar.
