The 3 Best Reasons We Are Infatuated With Celeb Gossip
Why is it that many of us are fascinated with celebrities? Come on, you know it’s true! Who has not picked up the most recent gossip magazine in the checkout line at the grocery store, and gotten their fix of celeb gossip? I know i have! And you know those magazines wouldn’t be there if nobody purchased them!
So why do we girls and guys have such an obsession with following the lives of folks we don’t know? Well read on for the top three reasons we love celebrity gossip, and especially marriage gossip!
Reason #1: It’s such a lot of fun living vicariously through the lives of others. I mean let’s admit it – many of us will potentially never just jet off to the Caribbean to be married to a 20 something super model in a lavish and secret wedding attended by all of the biggest names in Hollywood. We love reading about celeb’s famous and sometimes infamous weddings as it lets us pretend and imagine what it would be like to live a famous and fabulously rich life. I mean truly, what would it be like getting married in an Italian castle like Tom and Katie?
Reason #2: It makes us feel better about ourselves! It is just a fact of mankind’s nature that regardless of how bad our own lives appear to be, there is always somebody else out there who will make you feel better about your own situation. Sure, you could be struggling to pay the bills with a night stocker job at the local Wal-Mart, but at least you did not get pregnant with octuplets and then have no-one in the media care about it! Sure, you may not have managed to have 1,000,000 buck wedding on an exotic island, but at least your marriage is still intact after 10 years instead of 10 minutes, like a certain country music star we all know. Rhymes with Benny Lesney?
Reason #3: Because it’s there! Infrequently, stars are like a train wreck – you do not need to observe, but you can’t look away! It isn’t like you need to watch Brittany going down in flames and shaving her head bald, leaving K-Fed as the responsible parent ( yikes ) but dang, how are you able to not watch? And if they didn’t want their antics splashed all over the media, then maybe they shouldn’t be acting crazy! I mean, how many country stars do you see in the tabloids, besides the one mentioned above of course? Not a lot of, because they aren’t out wrecking Ferraris (cough, cough Sarah Harding).
