Celebrity Gossip

I was thinking of writing about celebrity gossip...I found Jon Cryer's "hit" to be of some interest...but seriously I don't know any of these "stars" and their lives really don't interest me...I don't know how so many people can sit around reading magazines that do nothing but focus on star drama, or watching celebrity gossip television shows...
Although I do find TMZ quite funny at times, the others just give us the facts of the lives of people most of us will never meet and even more of us will never actually be friends with.  So what is the point? That is what I ask you now...Why do you allow this gossip to take up so much of your time?
