I am really curious as to why anyone finds the lives of celebrities, as displayed to the public through the slanted eyes of the media, PR people, etc,, interesting enough to spend time discussing, either on a discussion board or in real life. Care to share why you are interested, if, in fact, you are? And if you're not, why do you think you just don't care?
Kimberly,
To answer your original question, I am one of those not interested. I just feel like too much importance is placed on someone simply b/c their career is deemed entertaining or they're great athletes. It is their job just as someone's job is a teacher, engineer, lawyer, doctor, chef, etc... I don't think that b/c someone is an actor, that should automatically make me interested in their personal life. They aren't my friends or someone important in society, they're just other people who happen to be famous b/c of what they do, not the accomplishments that they've made, how they've helped society, etc... It is all a little misplaced to me but that is our society.
