Is there any literature that comments on or deals with, directly or indirectly, celebrity culture?

Unironically Proust. His analysis of fame is very accurate.

A lot of celebrities "write" books.

I'm curious about this too. Junji Ito had a short story about someone obsessed with a transgender novelist who would kidnap people and encourage them to find their quirks so she could write books about them. It's manga rather than a literary novel, but it's the first thing that came to mind. It's in his Fragments of Horror book if you're interested.
