As long as there is such a thing as fantasy, then, there will always be an interest in famous people. Most people live out their dreams through celebrities. From the time we are little girls, we dream of being rescued by Prince Charming just like Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. When we see celebrities walk the red carpet with their romantic interest, it gives us a glimpse of the fairy tales we grew up watching. For example, Kerry Underwood is living a young girls dream of being romantically linked with the famous football player, Tony Romo. Two well liked, talented, beautiful people are in-love. How sweet is that?
Similarly, movies like "Pretty Woman," will even cause the public to be interested in beautiful people. When a character of movie becomes popular, then, so does the real person. Julia Roberts rose to stardom for portraying Richard Gere's love interest. Such movies are called chick flicks because woman love seeing a beautiful couple live happily ever after.
These actors and actresses become our Damsels in Distress and our Knight and Shining Armors. Our natural instinct for curiosity keeps magazines like Star, People, and US in business. If we weren't interested, these publications would go out of business.
