I used to despise all those magazines near the cash register that would say shit I don't care about. It would really piss me off how much people were obsessed with people's personal lives, and why the paparazzi are so rude and annoying to these celebs (I know people who've dealt with them.) Why should I care what Brad Pitt is doing with his fucking hair these day. Now I get it.
It's because he's hot.
You see, indie people have to calm down now, people don't like the gossip stuff because they have no important life of their own, but because of simple human psychology. Emotional attachment to good looking people. For example, I've seen some hot people in my lifetime on the internet and such (not porn), and whenever I see a picture of them, I'm always extremely curious about their age, location, and other random shit like that.
TL;DR, I'm extremely bored/creepy.
