why are people fascinated with oddball celebrities such as britney spears and tom cruise?

Question

these people do anything to keep the media on them so it sells more (what ever they have)

Answer 1

I agree with answer number three.

Also these people have more money than the average person will ever have so in a semi-sick way they are fun to laugh at. They seem willing to trade dignity for attention and to be the joke.

Answer 2

Jordan and Peter are perfect attentions seekers releasing books not even written by them. Selling flaky pictures to "hello" magazine releasing a CD with them both singing! Some how we are fascinated with losers. Jordan and Peter and other losers teach us the what not to be. Brittney will never sing again and Tom Cruise is retired.

Answer 3

Odd balls?
They both look normal enough to me. I disagree about the media part.
Tom's a vetren about that kind of thing so frankly I don't think he gives a rip what the tablods say about him.
As for Brittney well she did do a interview complaining about all the harrasment. So frankly I think she's trying to get away from all the tablod jerks.
It's the media thats trying to sell not them. You shouldn't believe all the lies tablods make up. It's the media and foolish people who believe the media's lies. Not the celebraties.

Answer 4

they are in 2 diverse psycho diverse varieties. Tom is a sociopathic narcissist, and Britney suffers from severe manic melancholy with some different issues, i'm positive, yet once you study the grandiose delusions of both, Tom is probable extra whacked out than Britney and is far better at hiding the severity of it.

Answer 5

Tom is a wack job and you never know how what crazy, ridiculous thing he'll do next to get attention. I really hate the guy and feel sorry for Katie and Suri. We like to see people make fools of themselves, I guess it's funny and entertaining.

Answer 6

Because the media forces them down our throats. It's hard not to notice or take an interest in people you see on TV, movies, and the internet daily.

Answer 7

I suppose that type of personality's world is very limited in scope and they receive a cheap vicarious thrill by the antics of celebrities.

Answer 8

Because people like celebs who like 2 make fools out of themselves

Answer 9

Because it enables people to escape their own humdrum or hectic life (whichever the case may be) and they are able to immerse themselves in the fantasy "Hollywood" world.

Answer 10

first, it may be because they want to be like them.

second, it may be because they want to feel good about themselves especially if these celebrities are having a hard time even if they are rich and famous already.
