Do Americans need heroes so much that they will start to look at all celebrities as people we should follow and admire so much?

Young celebrities think that it's okay to do whatever they want because the public follows their every move and they're still hired to do movies.

Why do we care about "baby bumps?" It's not cute and guaranteed we will not be invited to the baby shower.

We read what Oprah tells us to read, we buy the products that she tells us to buy, we act like Hale Berry becoming pregnant but not wanting to get married because marriage is too much of a responsibility. The same goes for "Bradgelina."

Why do you care about them? Do you read People, do you never miss Extra or Entertainment Tonight?

What is the allure that Americans have with celebrities?
