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 can somehow understand “following” celebrities lives. People like drama, it’s not that much different than watching a shitty tv show or reality show. What I will never ever ever understand is people literally worshipping, giving money, defending and praising celebrities. It’s straight up stupid behavior.

      I agree it’s stupid, but it’s basically just people living through the success of others. Same thing happens with sports teams, people have “their team” and the team’s success/failure can dramatically affect how they feel.
