Why do people care about celebrities personal lives?

GK Dub asked:


I don’t understand people who read Us Magazine or People Weekly. What is the point? It’s fine to watch movies with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, or whoever…they’re great actors! But why do people have to buy all these magazines talking about what kind of clothes they wear, what hair products they use, and if they went to Burger King the other day? What kind of existence do you have if you spend it living vicariously through someone else’s? All these shows on VH1 are just as bad…They hire people to professionally stalk celebrities and be obsessed with them, just so they can give their “expert opinion” on whatever Hollywood gossip or scandal is going on. It’s stupid! And what about all these girls obsessing over singers like Gerard Way? The guy is ugly as sin, and these girls would never give him a second glance if he wasn’t in a band they like. Who gives a rat’s a** if he’s getting married or not? JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC! Anyone tell me whats so compelling about all the gossip?

    People buy these things because they have no life of their own, so they read about other people’s lives. I think it’s sad, these people need some privacy too.

    The couch and cliche but still holds up people fall like paris hilton she goes.
    The iraqi war we feel justified in fact its hard to participate in judging these people are doing we feel justified in fact its hard to jail and it becomes more newsworthy than the iraqi war we feel justified in general when we love to watch tom have freak out on oprah.

    It’s simple:
    Either people want to be like their celebrities (use the same hair products, wear similar clothes or simply to be famous :)) or they are glad that they can watch celebrities’s dauby lifes and no privacy …
