Not really.
Why not?
Because so many other topics are more interesting.
A man I used to date could make a case for celebrity gossip having redeeming social value. Celebrity gossip gives people ways to find out who shares their beliefs before they risk discussing opinions about things about which they might feel more intensely, was the idea.
Right. If people who feel that way want to talk to me, they usually have lots of tidbits about actors' divorces and politicians' pasts to share, and I'll listen. But when I'm scanning news headlines, I don't click on the celebrity gossip. I don't care a great deal about how long some actor can hold on to the role of wife or husband or how badly some overnight-success musician was cheated on a real estate deal.
