Why are people so interested in celebs?

The one thing I cant understand is why in the world are we so interested in the lives of celebs? Angelina cant even give birth when the whole world wants to be in the delivery theatre getting a piece of the action... what action? Why do people want to put their noses where it doesn't belong? I wouldn't appreciate it if people were snooping around trying to get info on my life and im sure you wouldnt either. Its just not fair. Just because you are in the movie or some other industry doesn't mean your not entitled to your privacy. Everyone deserves a little privacy now and then.

Paparazzi are the worst. They walk around trying to get pics of celebs doing things that everyone else does but now its more glamourous because its a celeb. How does that make sense? Were not even so interested in the lives of our families. We go out of our way to find out the latest scandals and news of the celebs through gossips and tabloids but we're not even as interested in the lives of our families and friends. The news is especially juicy when it includes misfortune. Really now. Why cant we all just take interest in our own lives and leave those poor people alone?
