Who is eager to know about the cost of the celebrities' dresses and ornaments

I guess they feed such information to a section of the readers who are interested in that. If there weren't takers it would make no business sense to do it. Personally I never read this section of the paper at all. 

I am dead sure the other celebrities will not read such news because they always love to bask in their own glory and the common people, what will they do with such news? Still, the newspapers regularly publish such news.

I am least interested in reading or hearing about activities of anyone which does not have a productive effect.

I mind my business. What those so called celebrities eat, drink wear are  Trash for me.

Useless info and boring too so far as I am concerned due to personal choice and I feel I have outgrown that age when these things were of some interest owing to the whats the latest trend and in fashion and so on... but lot of people do read it as these celebrities have a great fan following which mostly include youngsters. They read it, forward it , comment on it and even try to imitate their idols..seems very childish to me actually !

For mature minds, such information is mere trash. Then crazy followers are always there to patronize them. I feel, it's wise to allow such followers to hang on to their their opinions. One cannot expect all to be alike.

These news are for those people who are extremely attached to glamour and sparkle. For those who consider celebrities and their lifestyles perfect.  

Many Fan clubs are there in AP and Tamil Nadu.  They hold meetings in which they discuss at length about their favorite celebrities' dresses, food habits and many more. It's nothing but craziness which is much prevalent in youth. Earlier these fan clubs used to do some good jobs like distributing food and clothes for the poor. They also used to go to Hospitals and distribute fruits to the patients.

How about the temples they build and worship these people as Gods, don't forget that. A sad state of our people and our country. its okay to be a fan of someone, but not a crazy one. 

I enjoy watching Federe  play but when the game is over I am done too. 

Yes. there are temple built for an actress named Khusboo. No harm in being a fan of some celebrityas long as they do not become Fanatics and show a meaningless love

Sofs you are partly right but it is a fact that there exists a large cult of people who seem to live on the tidbits and gossips of the lives of various celebrities. These people consist of people from poor to very rich backgrounds, possibly they may be satisfying their own hunger for the limelight and glory that these celebrities get. Human nature I guess!

@ Kalyani

There certainly are groups who relish the gossip. They think that is a sophisticated taste to indulge in such activities. in one way as you said its a desperate attempt to be in the limelight.

More than sophistication, it is an attempt of trying to live their own dreams knowing fully well that they cannot do so in real life of their own. So they lap up every bit of gossip and glamour surrounding the celebrities and live that life second hand.

"Living a second hand life" so apt and true.

Next time when in Mumbai I will visit the Dharavi slums  and not Bandra where film stars live. I will no longer read Filmfare orFemina they write gossip and glamour. I will subscribe to magazine You and Yoga

I must admit that you subscribe to You and Yoga is a great and wise choice.

I used to  be a voracious reader till Internet  broke my reading habits. And yes I do enjoy reading all the three mags named by you at barber shops, doctors waiting rooms, airport book stalls, railway platform Wheeler book stalls etc. There was a time when I used to buy them. Today I am more selective. I am not so serious as you seem to be making me out to be.

Oh no no, I didn't meant that you are the serious type, your posts provide ample evidence of that, just that you look like the type who would subscribe to the more intellectual mags! As for me, I can read anything from a comic strip to even more tacky mags like Gruhshobhika etc. although in the waiting rooms, not subscribe to them!

Welcome Vijay. I appreciate your choice of books. I scented quite early that you are a voracious reader.
