I am sure that it would be no surprise to you or anyone else if I said that celebrity news can be downright addictive.  Why should we even care what celebrities are doing, when we have our own problems. OK, so Alec Baldwin gets fired because of his gay slurs, or Kim and Kanye make a video – Bound 2, that looks like Fabio should be featured in it – 1990s Fabio.  So, why should I care about this?  Celebrity news has a lot of people engulfed in what is going to happen next with their favorite celebrities, but is it that we forget that these people are human, too, and bleed red blood as we do.  If they die tomorrow, they will be buried just as we will.

 

Maybe it is an escape mechanism to get out of what is really going on at home or at work.  Maybe it is the fact that celebrity news allows us to feel like we may one day become famous.  Is that something that you can handle, if it does happen?  Have you thought about the pressures that are placed upon celebrities to stay relevant and in the limelight by any means necessary?

 

Sure, I am a celebrity news junkie, and I do not make any apologies for it, but I know that I can use my time on something that is better than Keeping up with the Kardashians or seeing what Miley Cyrus is going to do next.  It is just so much I could be doing with my time, but celebrity news is non-technical, and is something that does not require much thought on my part so I think this is why I constantly entertain it, even if I know there is no direct reward for me or anyone who many read a celebrity news article.

 

I guess we have some choices to make.  Do we continue to care about the lifestyle and celebrity news of those who are not paying our bills, or do we go and make our own headlines doing something beneficial to us? 

 

These are celebrity scandals which have caused not only the people involved to suffer, but people in their immediate families, who needed them, even to this day.I have found myself having conversations with my friends about the latest headlines which I have heard about on television or have read about on the Internet.When I know that the rapper would likely claim his first born, and would not have had anything to hide, since he was not married to the lovely Beyonce at the time that conception likely took place.The sensationalism of celebrity gossip gives a certain high and sense of belonging into the lives of the celebrities which we read about.
