why do we care for people who live the same lives as we do, but are known for it? Why is it that we would cry to meet someone, when really, they don't even know you exist or even care for you as much as you do them?
Everyday I see the headlines of the new Britney breakdown, but I'm like who cares? Why do we care so much about her life, when we really should be caring about the music?
We all want their hairstyles, we all want to be like them, but why can't we just be our normal selfs?
It's almost annoying!

Probably because there's no royalty in the US?
I agree...the worship of the celebrity themselves has just gotten out of control...but then the anti-worship is just as bad. There are people who expend lots of energies being an anti-fan as much as those "annoying" fanboys and fangirls and groupies out there.
Personally,I think only the most shallow of people want to take on the identities of celebrities. Most people admire them but still want to be who they are.
You don't have to participate in so-called "celebrity worship" no one is putting a gun to your head to do this. If you're not as obsessed as you try to imply with this somewhat judgmental posting, why did you bother to post? why aren't you asking questions about global warming or something?
Do I detect a bit of jealousy in your little rant rant?

We are not obsessed with celebs, we are just raised in a society where celebs get the most attention since they are everywhere from television and magazines. And we as people part of a community (even if we reject to it) have this built into us. Sort of like, if you do something repititively, you get used to it and sort of remember it, and that is how we are giving soo much attention to them.

I don't care what they do or with whom.
I stopped watching broadcast news many months ago. The coverage of the death of Ana Nicole was WAY over the top. A stripper who married an old guy who dies of a self inflicted drug overdose; and the first 15 minutes of the broadcast was dedicated to that story. What crap..................

Well Me for one I`m not obessed, I can carless about brittany spears or how much times paris hilton went to rehab. Some people are just so obessed with celebrities because they don`t have a life of thier own.

well I think we just want someone to bother, whoever's in the public eye. If they were horrible in a movie, or if they do 1 bad thing, the media will tear them into little pieces. We also just want to be "better" when we don't even realize is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

The basic reason is the greed and not being satisfied with ourselves.
We think that the reason that the celebs have the money may be this or may be that, and we think if we act like that we may be able to acquire wealth.

People love to escape from their own lives and hear about the crazy fantasy lives of celebs.

Because they have more money than most of us. They live more extravigant lifestyles. The press just gives us more info about them then we really need, or want.
