Angelina vs. Jennifer
In my opinon the widespread interest in Angelina came in the Brad Pitt scandel. Enter Angelina into the picture while working with Brad Pitt and see you later Jennifer Aniston. At first they denied rumors of their romance (going as far as ignoring each other at their movie premier). Finally once it was confirmed the new couple wasted no time flanting their relationship with magazine covers and interviews. This many seem tacky(at least to those belonging to the Aniston camp), the bigger question is why do we care? The public has such an intense interest in these people we do not even personally know. What does this say about the impact of the media on the public and the importance we place on celebrity?

I think people have such interest in these types of scandals because it gives us a reason not to focus on ourselves. We no longer have to think about our own lives and we find a common bond with our friends, coworkers, roomates, etc. over what celebrity did what. Celebrity is a common language that somehow forms a similarity between people who wouldn't normally have such a common denominator.
