    Worshiping anyone WITH Allah is called Shirk شرك

    Worshiping anyone BUT Allah is called Kufr كفر

    Riya is total different thing, Riya is doing good deeds in order to be praised by others, and it leads to Nifaq

    Stupid(change it to Arabic) I guess.. :) Because to adore someone more than God is just stupid and pointless. I care about Zayn Malik and so many more..but I still place God on the top for my praise and love.
