I've never cared about celebrity news for the sake of celebrity news, but I've found I very much care about the actual creation of the art that I like.

That means sometimes I know about the relationship history of the songwriters whose albums I listen to, knowing that a post-divorce album might explore those themes. Same with when a standup comedian I like becomes a parent, knowing that the observational humor may shift as a result.

For television and film, I know who's signing deals with who, which actors and directors like working with each other, what some prior screenwriter was doing before the current project, which studios have reputations for interfering with the artistic vision, which directors and producers have reputations for mismanaging resources, which characters had to be written off of shows for off-set reasons, etc., because it all affects the end product.

For sports, some of the off-field drama can affect the on-field product (suspensions or personnel movement for non-sports reasons, weird health conspiracy theories affecting one's return from injured status).

So I don't really mess with celebrity gossip in itself, but I do follow industry news in television, film, music, the sports I like, and any other entertainment I enjoy.

I totally get that. I think it's like that for a lot of people.

Sad thing is, there's a bunch of folks out there that aren't all that deep. So "pretty people doing pretty people things" is about the level of involvement there. There's probably an escapism/fantasy element there too, which may explain why we have people that are famous for being famous.
