"Less Celeb React" is the best mod you can install for this. The devs are unfortunately never going to change this and I am surprised they didn't think of taking it down a notch especially for the vital NPCs like DJs and Mixologists.
Anyway here's the link to the mod, it rarely needs to be updated and helps solve the problem without completely removing the "fans" functionality: https://deichschafblog.de/bienchen/werde-beruehmt-get-famous/
It's the second from the top "lesscelebreact"
Unfortunately the whole celebrity situation has to be modded, as suggested, otherwise it is one of the worst features ever added to the game. I also use the mod mentioned above and in addition I have a mod from LittleMsSam called 'Celebs Undercover'. This Mod adds a Lot Trait which keeps fans and paparazzi from entering a lot. These mods have become essential to me and fortunately rarely need updating. There are just places where the insane excitement around celebs doesn't make any sense - I think I started to look for mods after a bunch of Sims fainted at a library because Thorne Bailey showed up - and the way it interferes with gameplay can be infuriating.
