Why are so many people obsessed with following celebrities lives and gossip about it? - eviltoast

Like, why do you care so much if she’s sleeping with a new guy after just divorcing or her coming out or that rich family buying a new mansion? How does that affect your life?

    I’m not into celebrity gossip, but from what I can tell based on people I’ve seen who are into it, I think it’s less about the celebrities themselves and more about enjoying gossip in general. If you and your friends are really into gossip, but you don’t have anything new to say about people you know in real life, you can gossip about celebrities instead. It’s just a thing you can enjoy talking about despite not having any actual connection to it.
