celebrity gossip is stupid who gives a crap about the royal baby or that justin bieber took a sh*t what does it give you to know that anyway ?
ok and what about actual people who care about celebrities lives?
Answer
I think for many people it's a form of escapism reading about celebrities lives. It also shows people that celebrities aren't these perfect beings with perfect lives, that they go through the same ups and downs and experiences as normal people. I agree that celebrity gossip is stupid, I read it but it's just something to do when im on a train journey or bored. It's not that I really care, but a bit of gossip is fun. I think there's such a hype around the royal baby because the royal family is such a prominent part of being British and they are one of the most important and powerful families in the world. I think the tabloids are trying to show that even though they are so powerful and important, they are also down to earth and normal and Kate and William just want to be normal parents. Also the royal baby is very significant to our history and our future, baby George might be king one day.
Justin Bieber is also one of the most famous teenagers in the world and has a large fan base who care about what goes on in his life. I agree that celebrity gossip is stupid and I dont understand how some of it makes the front page in the papers, but what makes celebrities distinct is that the whole world knows their business, that's what being famous is about. Only very few people know and care about my life, but when you're famous people become obsessed with you and millions of people know about your business.
Also people thrive on gossip and it provides people with entertainment and something to talk about. Like I said it's a form of escapism and a form of entertainment. It's much easier to escape your problems when you see celebrities have problems. It's like a TV series in a way, you always want to know what happens next, will Kim and Kanye break up, will they have another baby and call it another stupid name, how will they raise their child? Scandals are always exciting and interesting and a topic for conversation, plus some celebrities are attention seekers and want everyone to know everything about their lives, whilst some celebrities like the quiet life away from the spotlight, occassionally coming out to attend big events.
Reading celebrity gossip makes me feel better as it shows that being famous isn't all glamour and has its downsides; I feel sorry for celebrities and some of them just have pathetic lives which revolve around money and superficiality. It makes me happy to be normal and not famous. Hope this helped :)

What is the current system in place to alert the LA community about a police chase?
Z
There's been a few recently and from what I've seen on youtube (mostly chopper coverage), seems like a lot of clueless people going about their business are the most at-risk. Can't the CHP issue a local "extreme" SMS alert to a blanket, semi-large "affected" area of LA so many people can avoid the streets and keep a close watch on their property if a gang of 4 burglary suspects decide to bail in random directions? I just looked at my phone and it seems like this SMS type is a default, along with a greyed-out "presidential" alerts also enabled (impromptu military drafts?) I think getting this kind of information is critical whether it instantly comes to your phone or car GPS (theoretically most are connected to real-time traffic conditions now) in order to save lives. Here's a breakdown of what defines these wireless alerts: http://www.uscellular.com/support/cmas.html and in the case of a police chase where multiple agencies are involved, life and property damage is certainly at risk.
The next best thing (right now) is to get instantly notified of a chase yourself -- even this can be challenging (putting that mildly) to find accurate and straightforward information. KTLA doesn't have text alerts, only email "newsletters." nbclosangeles has texting, but you also have to be subscribed to a bundle like "celebrity gossip" and other "breaking news." KCAL9 appears to have a text-alert page full of dead sign-up links: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/text-alerts/ Some volunteers have setup twitter accounts, (PCALive) but who knows how delayed these tweets are and many accounts have not been updated for months. Plus not everyone has access to tweetdeck or similar applications where tweets flow in real-time vs. push-notifications on most native cell-phone apps. Most apps will also not filter re-tweets so if you follow more than 5 people, your timeline gets clogged in a hurry and you're less likely to look at twitter anyway -- defeating the purpose of twitter in the first place.
tl;dr:
Information needs to reach affected areas in faster, more reliably, and in a less-clogged fashion.
Answer
Sirens. There ISN'T a 'system' to alert ANY community about a police chase. Any chase lasting long enough to activate such a system won't be in the same area by the time notice is received.
