    One particular over privileged couple of people don’t catch my eye at all for any other reason either, except when they are spreading hate or something like that. Weird to think everyone does notice or care what celebrities do. I honestly have no idea who his wife is or why I would know she’s abused.

      Exactly, why do people care so much about celebrities. It’s understandable to appreciate their work/talent (movies or whatever) but to go beyond that to know whatever crap they are doing in their life is cringy.

        I so agree. I admit there are a few celebrities that I like so much that I’d be interested in their life story a bit, but I’m absolutely not following news about them or really even interested in their kids or who they married. Even though those things are a part of them, I would be interested in their earlier life more – how did they become this person? Having said that, most biographies I have read have been snoozefests, sadly. Even when the person is insanely fascinating in an interview about their work, hearing about how they spent their summer in 1968 isn’t usually the most riveting story…
