The Irrelevant Gossip

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Why are people preoccupied by gossip? Case in point - typing "Anna Nicole Smith" in Google gets almost 7 million hits; "Tiger Woods" gets almost 4 million.
Why the big interest in who gets Anna Nicole's fortune? Are all these people trying to get it? I don't think I'll qualify, so I'm not interested.
Other than many males claiming to be the father, what's so unusual about this that people are so obsessed? Wouldn't Tiger Woods, a golf legend pursuing another legend, Jack Nicklaus, be more interesting? Or global warming? Or poverty?
My spouse gets People magazine. I do look at the article table of contents, because I want to see if there's something current, like the Virginia Tech shooting. But I really don't care what celebrities are wearing, or who they're dating.
Focus on relevant things, and make gossip irrelevant.
