    BEWARE OF GRRL!
    Or at least the media seems to want people to.

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I always wondered this myself.

    This.

    Perhaps it's just something to talk about.  Something to follow.  Something to care about outside one's own life.

    People seem to crave that.

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Celebrities represent an idealized life that others aspire to.

    And gossip humanises them.

    I don't think it does, but whatever.

    People like to know that even famous, seemingly untouchable people have problems, and using that as a focus helps them take their minds off their own problems and frustrations.

    I'm thinking of the other thing that happens, like when the need for celebrity gossip really intrudes into other peoples' lives, but, eh.

    I'm not saying that it can't lead there, because it often does, but it's popular for less nefarious reasons.
