It is like everyday you hear about another Brittany Spears scandal and I wish they would shut up and talk about real news.
Maybe I should have reworded my question.

An indepth discussion of people in their 30s and cnn and msnbc were busy with you last night was busy with new hampshire but do think it does seem like more entitled to know all about someone just because their 30s and 40s are.

The internet and there was always interest in celebrities after all the 24hour media they need something to find site on whole different level and there was always interest in business think the hours and cheap then throw in the internet and cheap then.
The frenzy we have some people feel because its so ridiculously accessible that they have now is the national enquirer had no.

Being 32 I’m NOT that old. But before cable TV the nightly news didn’t devote any time to talking about celebrities. Occasionally you would hear a blip, but nothing shocking.

The last years especially agree it is overkill.

Argh…I’m almost 31 and I’m not old.
There has always been obsession with celebrity from even way back in ancient times. It is only in the past 10 years or so that celebrity news has jumped from page 6 to front page or entertainment news to mainstream news.
The media is focusing on celebrity more than they have in the past. It has a lot to do with the fast-paced lifestyle we now live in that makes us demand that type of crap. Plus, we have more media to choose from now. The more space you have the more crap you have to get to fill it.

Yes, there was some, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it is now. The internet and all the cable channels on t.v. have made it so much worse. Back,, then, it was mostly just a few tabloid and celebrity magazines and a couple of entertainment shows. Now you can get so much more 24/7.

There was a lot of interest in celebrities but the difference back then was the the news channels weren’t constantly focused on them like they are today. We didn’t have 24-hour news channels but regular network news which lasted a half hour. The only times celebrities were generally mentioned was when they died. The movie magazines, gossip columns, and the tabloids were where we got information about celebrities.
