Why Do We Do That? Obsession over Celebrity News & Parasocial Interaction

  • サマリー

  • We once watched movies, listened to music, and admired models for the art form and content they created. Now, the only form of entertainment that feels socially stimulating is seeing a celebrity's entire career, and life, fall apart while all the world watches. It's giving Britney, circa 2007. We, as the consumers of media,  are no longer hard to entertain as long as a celebrity has a public relationship crisis.  With all the attention on Will and Jada, Kim and Kanye, Johnny and Amber, fans are now becoming attached to their screens and to the people displayed on them. Parasocial interaction creates the idea that we are ON our favorite sports team, that we KNOW our favorite celebrity wouldn't engage in violence, and that our politicians truly want the best for our country. Take a step back and remember that these are people, just like you and me.
