Many people are caught up in celebrity obsession. This habit has not erupted yesterday; it is a fascination that has been building up around us with time.

This kind of obsession is very evident in most of our daily activities. Whenever we meet friends, family and relatives we must have some gossip or joke about a celebrity to share. Celebrity gossip has become a major social fabric. People do not talk about how they are doing anymore whenever they meet. Instead talks about popular people takes most the conversation. Today such talks are the main thing that helps people connect with one other.

Our lives have been occupied by talks about the most popular people around us. In our homes and work places that is the talk.

It has become impossible to even interact with close people like mother-in-laws without bringing in gossip of famous figures.

It is not easy to understand why celebrities have taken the center of our lives. We cannot tell what is so catching about famous people that make them appear irresistible in the eyes of the public.

Many are always fantasizing and wishing their lives would be like of their admired figures. They wish they could be rich, talented, beautiful and desirable like most of the celebrities. It is interesting to note that despite the many wish they could fall.
