Do you follow celebrity gossip/news?

You won't be judged by your answers, so please do not feel the need to defend yourself if your answer is "yes." Honestly, I'm just really curious.

I would also love to know if there is any particular celebrity that you wish would go away, feel sorry for, etc. Has the news made you admire any particular celebrity?

Celebrity news is a huge part of media in the USA, and it has turned into an outrageous and often cruel industry. Many of our headlines are filled with gossip surrounding popular stars' names, and sometimes, even their children's names. Has the celebrity news industry made you feel closer to America's celebrities or created an even further distance?

I am very excited to read your responses!

I don't. I should, because I need to be aware of what they are up to in case I can relate it to something on my website, but I'm just not particularly interested.

The celebrity industry dominates the media in England, too, Newspapers like the Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror etc are full of celebrity stories. I suppose there must be a demand for it or it wouldn't be in the newspapers.

I have no sympathy for the celebrities, most of them choose to be famous, they must accept the negative consequences.

I have often wondered about other cultures and their celebrity news. A lot of my friends in the states scoff at American media and journalism tactics, because of the way celebrity news often seems to take precedence over actual affairs and more important material. Do you think very many people feel this way about England?
