Writer's Block: Star struck
Why do people care so much about the private lives of celebrities? Is it idol worship, schadenfreude, or something entirely different?
I admit, I enjoy seeing pictures of their families, seeing them doing amazing volunteering trips. I enjoy seeing what they choose to share. If all the paparazzi were to disappear and all I ever saw was what they chose to share...I'd be thrilled.
Gossip and backstabbing is annoying and hurtful to anyone. It's one of the reasons I can't be bothered with politics. Campaigns are all about talking bad about the competition, not showing what can be done. It's gross.
