I feel like a voyeur reading celeb gossip. I just feel embarrassed, so I never click on those stories.

    With all the important stuff going on in the world, this is a waste of time even as entertainment.

      You can't avoid it, not even in "real" news.

        Gossiping is fun, but gossiping about people you actually know is divisive, alienating, and causes unnecessary drama.

        The dumb things they do to get attention and to become a "celebrity" are just too funny to ignore!

        It is an easy way to escape all the horror stories that are covered. It is a good reprieve.

          Sometimes we think their lives are easy. fame+wealth=happiness. In some cases, it's not any better than anyone of us.

          It's no different than gossip about anyone else. We don't care about them more. More people just know who they are.

          Pop culture is a common element among most people, and often acts as a "social lubricant."

            I'm tired of celebs being treated differently than everyone else. (cough..Lindsey Lohan..cough) I'm not interested in celebs misbehaving.

              Nothing. It is the shiny thing that makes it easier to keep people distracted from the uncomfortable issues that deeply affect their lives

                      Just something interesting to do. Like watching tv, you're keeping up with a character and don't get in trouble if you talk about them.

                          It's sometimes hard to believe these folks work so hard to ruin everything they've accomplished!
