CMV: Following celebrities and gossip is a very vain activity.

Before starting:

* English is not my first language, so I may seem more formal unintentionally. I really want this to be light-hearted.
* This may be a bit in conflict with rule number 2, so I hope mods can have a bit of leeway with me.

In my life I haven't understood how or why people become obsessed with celebrities. Like the Kardashians or maybe Ryan Gosling to the point of following their every move. And tho I find gossip magazines and shows annoying, I've recently met some people that follow some personalities like Steve-o from jackass and some form where I'm from, in a more light hearted manner. And it seems pretty fun, but I can't find myself googling them done day.

So yeah, what's your point of view?

Every hobby can be made to sound trite if you phrase it in the right way.

"What's interesting about 11 behemoths running into one another over a ball?"

"You spend all day just controlling someone on a screen?"

"Why are you spending so much money firing at the range? Worried about the zombie apocalypse?"

In all these cases, people tend to not understand or identify with what makes those hobbies rewarding.

As silly as it may strike you, humans have gossiped basically since forever. People like it. Given that, is it that surprising that the most beautiful/talented/successful/well known people in the world make good targets? 

Few people care if Janet in HR is banging Ross from Accounts...because only a small social group knows them. Furthermore, gossiping about ones own social group can come with repercussions. However, everyone knows Brad Pitt, so celebrities can serve as an outlet for those urges to gossip.
