Why are girls so obsessed with the lives of celebs? It's none of your business and who cares!

[JeVousAime]

Well my opinion is that girls are "obsessed" with celebrities because they ARE as a matter of fact everywhere we look.

Imagine if YOU were in a plain white room.

No exit.

Totally empty.

Except from this one fly that buzzes around the whole entire room.

You'd find it hard to concentrate on much else yes?

Well that's an exaggerated perception on girls (in fact people in general) and celebrities, we're being suffocated, and there isn't anything anybody can do about it!

P.S... Tell me that you have lived one day this past week that you haven't thought about something that has happened to someone famous?

I don't understand your answer at all. how are you being suffocated by celebrities? there are plenty of other things to think about then what some famous person is doing. I don't think I have thought about something that happened to someone famous in at least a month if not longer.

[JeVousAime]

Yeah, it was 11 months ago, hun, and I think I was probably drunk. =P

But the general jist of the answer is true. We ARE surrounded by scandal and celebrities.

Not all girls are obsessed, in fact many guys are just as obsessed. I for fact couldn't care less about the lives of celebrities, I think its just a waste of time. They are exactly like me and you, just with larger benefits... money wise an so forth. But, hey, if people want to be obsessed, let them be obsessed, as sad as it truly is... who cares what other people do, whether its the obsessed fans, or the celebs themselves, right?

[human_condition]

I don't. Tabloids make me sick.

Good for the jokes though...

What will Jade Goody be doing this Christmas?

Babysitting for Lily Allen.

(Apparantly Lily has had some miscarriages lately or something, I only heard when someone explained the joke to me).

I'd hate to be famous :(

True, there definitely seems to be something with celeb gossip and women. I can understand glancing at headlines while I'm waiting to buy my grocery's, but It's proven that half the stories are made up and most of the pictures are manipulated. It's a bit of a turn off when I see women obsess about celebrities. I wonder sometimesa, do these girls ever like to read about something useful to increase their knowledge?

Celebrities are cool. They represent the peak of social value, so a girl that wants to be cool will value them. It's not much different than guys looking up to MJ or intellectuals digging Stephen Hawking. Just different levels of value.

It doesn't make sense intellectually anymore than a girl who wants to be the life of the party "thinks" intellectualism makes sense. Different value systems entirely.

Hey before you get all angry, most women like that simply because its something that entertains us, just something to read or hear about, its good to hear how perfect people have messed up lives too, its weird but true1 why do men like cars so much hey those questions have billions of answers don't knock 'em;)

[crunk04gtp]

Yeah, what's the deal with that? This celebrity craziness is all pervasive. I wish I could ignore it totally but whenever I'm at the grocery store I'm forced to read about it. These people live in insulated little bubbles completely separated from the real world. Their lives are of no consequence to me. As for being role models... why? They were simply born beautiful and got lucky.

Reading about celebrities is a little escape for me. Ive noticed that when me and my boyfriend fight all I do is read magazines. It takes my mind off things and when I read about there problems it reminds me that I'm not the only one with issues.

[ashleyattack]

the only people that care are the people that don't have lives of their own so they have to get in other peoples lives and worry about theirs because they don't have one to worry about :)

[BottomOfTheOcean]

i agree with you, I only like to read about miley cyrus she a shanky hoe thought dateing a 20 year old underwear modle! an usually us girls do that becuase we want to be like them.

[kazine]

Not all girls are.

I'm not.

I think it's a load of bullshit but there you go.

Then again I'm not really a typical girl. Nevermind.

[BeMuse]

A lot of girls are attention seekers... Celebrities get a lot of attention. Thus they idolize them because they are getting a lot of attention.

I know that for me, celebrities are kind of like role models. I can look at someone who is really, or at least what I think, a great woman. Take Jennifer Aniston for instance. She is very pretty, has a really nice body, is a great actress, and is probably a funny person. I like to hear what she's doing and what's going on in her life because I look up to her. I also like to see what all the celebs are wearing because they have really nice clothes and always look great.

[maggie7664]

I completely agree. It is ridiculous how obsessed some girls are. They obviously have really boring lives if they have to obsess over some one else.

[kimmy]

no body cares.
