AIBU to wonder why so many people are so invested in the life of

Celebs?

After reading a couple of threads on here today (Cherly Versi- thingy and Gordon Ramsays daughter) why do people care so much about the lives of people they see on TV?

Surely there are more interesting things to think about / get involved with? [the irony of posting this on mumsnet when I could be doing something more interesting is another issue entirely ]

Till I read it on this thread, I thought Kanye West was a woman. You know, giving Hillary Rodham Clinton a run for her money!

I clearly don't spend enough time on the Names threads either or I'd have known only boy babies get silly names.

Being really interested in talentless American celebs is a sure sign of a thickie. (Except for my lovely niece)

Surely this is a fact.
