Why is it that many of us are fascinated with celebrities? Come on, you know it's true! Who has not picked up the most recent gossip mag in the checkout line at the grocery store, and gotten their fix of celeb gossip? I know that I have! And you know those mags wouldn't be there if nobody purchased them!

So why do we girls and guys have such a fascination with following the lives of folk we don't know? Well read on for the top three reasons we like celebrity gossip, and especially wedding gossip!

Reason #1: It's such a lot of fun living vicariously thru the lives of others. I mean let's accept it - most of us will potentially never just jet off to the Caribbean to get married to a twenty something super model in a luxurious and secret wedding attended by all the largest names in Hollywood. We love reading about celeb's famous and often infamous marriages as it lets us pretend and think what it would be like to live a famous and fabulously rich life. I mean truly, what would it be like getting married in an Italian castle like Tom and Katie?

Reason #2: It makes us feel happier about ourselves! It's just a fact of human nature that regardless of how bad our own lives appear to be, there's always some other person out there who will make you feel better about your own situation. Sure, you may be endeavoring to pay the bills with a night stocker job at the local Wal-Mart, but at least you didn't get pregnant with octuplets and then have no-one in the media care about it! Sure, you may not have managed to have a million buck wedding on an exotic island, but at least your wedding is still intact after 10 years instead of 10 mins, like a certain country music star we all know. Rhymes with Benny Lesney?

Reason #3: Because it's there! Sometimes, celebrities are like a train wreck - you do not need to look at, but you cannot look away! It isn't like you would like to watch Brittany going down in flames and shaving her head bald, leaving K-Fed as the responsible parent ( yikes ) but dang, how are you able to not watch? And if they didn't wish their escapades splashed all over the media, then perhaps they should not be acting crazy! I mean, how many country stars do you see in the tabloids, besides the one mentioned above of course? Not that many, because they aren't out wrecking Ferraris (cough, cough Sarah Harding).
