Why are celebrities so interesting to us normal people?

[Samantha]

I just love a lot of different kinds of art. Be it films or music or whatever, and when you get interested in an artists work, it only makes sense to be somewhat interested in the artist themselves. I'm not really into the gossipy part of celebrity lives much, I'm more interested in their perspectives on things. Without art, we as the human race would have very little honest expression and deep communication. To me art is very important, it helps us to learn about the world and about ourselves. Therefore artists(Celebrities) are interesting.
