WTF is With Celebrity Obsession?

When mainstream media starts devoting half of the nightly line-up to celebrity news, you know the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Digital Journal Editor-in-Chief, Chris Hogg, debates Managing Editor, David Silverberg, on covering the news in this comedic TopFinds segment.

Do people have such boring lives that obbsese with other people. They are normal people who got lucky not gods. Alot are boring and weird in person. Im not saying its wrong. Alot of them earned a spot in history. Its just they take it to far. like making every moment of their lives front page news and paying a million bucks for a baby photo.

I don't care too much celebrities but they tend to brag so much themselves to everyone,it really drives me nuts! Plus then they kick you out of public

places if they find out you are a fan.

Their treatment toward fans is so

cruel and according to them they are

very important people you should pay attention to Why? they don't care about us anyway !

i myself can say i'm one to be in infatuation with some celebrities. then and now well now this celeb i like well its hard to say i im infatuated with the character he plays. i mean he himself is ok. i love the character he plays more then himself. i'm in awe over the character he play with that being said i found myself wanting to keep up with what is being said about him or what he is currently working. on please if anyone have idea's of how to deal with my situation you will be helping me.

I don't get celebrity obsession. I could care less what these people do with their materialistic lives.

Well, I don't pay for those celebrities, anyway, well very little! I don't go to thte movie theatre very often, I only watch free videos on youtube and the trailers. I mean, I don't demand money for my videos, either. Johonny Depp said at least once, the fans pay for his bills. That was a fine remark, wasn't it?

Good point! your video should really make people think...I always tell my kid what's going on in the world. He could care less about celebrities...that seems to be more with the adults, I don't know?...Anyway good job!

lol this is what the news is like now. People are more interested in celebrities then how the world is run.All ive been hearing in news is Jhon terry/Ashley cole who gives a shit about these people. They play football. No need to spash there whole lives in the newspapers/tv. Surely saying Iran has enriched enough uranium to make bomb is more important.

...Who cares who sleeps with who?

If I wanna know ANYTHING about that particular subject or just want porn, as most people who are intrested in this kind of thing,(though I am not one of them, I google: "FREE PORN".

Logic, no?
