Why do people care about celebrities personal lives?

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?

Why do people care about celebrities personal lives?

The answer is old and cliche, but still holds up: People have no lives of their own so they like to watch what other people are doing. We love to see people fall, like Paris Hilton. She has no talent, average looks, etc., yet she goes to jail and it becomes more newsworthy than the Iraqi war. We feel justified in judging these people because we do not make mistakes like this in our lives. In fact, its hard to participate in life in general when we plop our fat asses on the couch and watch Tom have a freak out on Oprah.
