I mean, every news I come across on TV always has some celebrity talk, which is very very annoying because it's a waste a time and I don't care! Does anyone agree? Does anyone know why it's so "important" for the public to hear on TV about them?
Answer
Okay, allow me to explain this to you. A celebrity is a person, who has a prominent profile and commands some degree of public fascination and influence in day-to-day media. The term is often synonymous with wealth (commonly denoted as a person with fame and fortune), implied with great popular appeal, prominence in a particular field, and is easily recognized by the general public. They usually become a celebrity because they have some talent, not always though as proven by Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton who are celebrities without having any talent what so ever.
Okay, now comes the part that is apparently difficult for you to understand. Because they are in the public eye, the media is of the opinion that people have an interest in hearing about them and believe it or not, many people actually do. There are entire magazines and entertainment programs dedicated to celebrities and they are read and watched by millions.
So while I personally agree with you that celebrity news is a waste of time, that opinion is no more than a personal opinion which isn't shared by many others. Celebrities often make their millions because they are in the public eye. The media therefore reports about them, whether we like it or not.

Do you read celebrity gossip blogs or online entertainment sites?

Hi,
I am conducting a small survey for my communications studies class to gather data on who reads celebrity gossip blogs and how these online gossip and entertainment sites affect our views and perceptions. In addiion, I plan on using the results from the survey to test whether visiting these type of sites affect our cognitve frameworks (i.e., social vs. political knowledge).
I am really interested to see what my findings will yield and would really appreciate it if you would please take a brief moment to fill out the survey in the following link.

Also, if you know others who read/visit these type of sites regularly, please feel free to pass along this survey. Your participation will aid me greatly in my research.
Thanks!

I don't go to gossip/entertainment sites, but my coworker does and we both took the survey. Hopefully you can use my answers as a control or something :P
