Why is it that many of us are fascinated with celebrities? Come on, you know it's true! Who hasn't picked up the newest gossip magazine in the checkout line at the corner store, and gotten their fix of celeb gossip? I know i have! And you know those magazines wouldn't be there if nobody acquired them!
So why do we girls and guys have such an obsession with following the lives of folks we don't know? Well read on for the top three reasons we adore celebrity gossip, and particularly wedding gossip!
Reason #1: It's such a lot of fun living vicariously through the lives of others. I mean let's admit it - most of us will likely never just jet off to the Caribbean to get married to a twenty something super model in a lavish and secret marriage attended by all the biggest names in Hollywood. We love reading about celeb's famous and infrequently infamous weddings as it lets us pretend and think what it would be like to live a famous and fabulously made life. I mean actually, what would it be like getting married in an Italian castle like Tom and Katie?
Reason #2: It makes us feel happier about ourselves! It's simply a fact of mankind's nature that no matter how bad our own lives seem to be, there's always somebody else out there who will cause you to feel better about your own situation. Sure, you could be trying to pay the bills with a night stocker job at the local Wal-Mart, but at least you did not get pregnant with octuplets and then have no-one in the media care about it! Sure, you may not have been able to have 1,000,000 dollar marriage on an exotic island, but at least your wedding is still intact after a decade instead of ten minutes, like a certain country music star we know. Rhymes with Benny Lesney?
Reason #3: Because it's there! Infrequently, celebs are like a train wreck - you don't want to watch, but you cannot look away! It is not like you want to watch Brittany going down in flames and shaving her head bald, leaving K-Fed as the responsible parent ( yikes ) but dang, how are you able to not watch? And if they had no wish their escapades splashed all over the media, then maybe they shouldn't be acting crazy! I mean, how many country stars do you see in the tabloids, besides the one mentioned above of course? Not many, because they aren't out wrecking Ferraris (cough, cough Sarah Harding).
