Do you find yourself curious to know of the goings on in the private lives' of celebrities? Does it interest you to know where they are going, who they've been seen with, what their favorite meals are, how they are dressing this season? and of course their political views?
not me. this kind of virtual gossip and curiosity does not interest me at all. What has it to do with me and my life?
now, I may have some interest in their history if I find them to be exceptionally charitable or accomplished in some manner other than entertainment - that these acts were not part of a publicity scheme.... say for instance Audey Murphy who was an accomplished actor but more than that, and what I find interesting is that he was the most decorated american soldier/hero of all time. So, I might be interested in learning about those events - how he rose above his celebrity and shown forth his decency. I might be interested in his religious formation and general upbringing - if any events in his life led him to be such a selfless hero etc.

Normally I would answer this question a firm no Modestah, but in all honesty there are certain celebrities that move me and I want to learn more about them. Most of the people that grab my attention are heros to me in one form or another. As far as all the Brittney's of the world I could care less. It is human nature to wonder about were someone comes from and what drives thats persons ambition. Its actually a social study if you will, and that is a passion of mine.

I sometimes wonder how many servants/maids/housekeepers/cooks/trainers they have and if these people live in or come daily. Their homes are always immaculate.
I also wonder do they wear the same clothes twice and what do they do with their clothes...I can't imagine them doing laundry or wearing things that didn't look new.
Other than that they don't really interest me. I don't know these people and think it's silly to pretenfd I do

I get very annoyed at the news which is filled with the goings on in the private lives of famous people - there just has got to be more important things going on around the world.
I would love to see and hear more about what famous or not famous people are doing to make the world a better place.

The famous and the rich live very different lives like many people do. They do many activities as well such as attending to several appointments, business meetings, parties, and other social gatherings. We may find their lives intriguing yet they are also humans. They also share many trials and challenges like all of us.

Well, officially I don't care what Paris and her gang get up to. But I do admit that I find magazines like the National Enquirer in the USA quite juicy and end up glancing through when nobody is looking. I think I give the excuse that Mr Bean gives - I just look at pictures.

Yes I am more intrested then most. Not in a creepy stalking kind of way.
Just would really like to know these people that make millions of dollars on a movie do things. How much do they actually have in there bank account? Do they have house payments or did they pay it off? Do they EVER look at a price tag or just buy it? I guess I am intrested in the financial part more then the life (foods maids) part. It intrestes me to know do these actors give to charities? I just think to myself if 20 of these actors gave 1 million dollars to a homeless organization - who would go hungry? I mean really you make 25 million dollars a movie and you can't give 1 of them??

No, I have no interest in the lives and likes/dislikes of celebrities. I think that we spend far too much valuable time and resources tracking such rubbish as the lives of celebrities. What difference does it make in my life and how will I be a better person with more to offer the world by knowing who is dating whom and what they like to have for dinner? I need to spend the time that it would have taken to find out those facts doing something constructive with my own life!

To a point I am...take Elvis for example...I love alot of his music, I like to see how he lived and what was important to him in his life. I don't really care about what he ate, who he hung out with or what color socks he wore. I do like to read up on how he became the legend that he was and still is...to me it's interesting.

I wonder how all these rich amd famous people do their daily routines in ther homes without leaks to the public. I want to know how they eat, wah they eat. do they even get to sleep for long hours or just fr a few hours after nights of partying? But most of all, I really want to tell these people to make sincere moves in helping the poorones in their areas. I don't think they would go broke if they give just a little help to the nedy ones.

Yes I am curious, but not obsessed. I do not go out and spend my money on gossip magazines, but if someone else buys on then I will read it and I sometimes watching "The fabulous life of ..." if there is nothing better on and I check one gossip website daily. I think it is a waste of money when I see someone picking up 3 or 4 celebrity magazines and spending about £5 on them.
