True celeb afficionados can check out Paris Hilton daily routine every single day on certain forums, you can watch on on Monday her going to grocery store and clubbing at night, on Tuesday going to get a facial and going to Starbucks, on Wednesday boarding a private jet, on Thursday in Cannes... etc

And pics are HUGE and high resolution so basically you can see every pore on her face. When she goes grocery store shopping you can zoom in and see what she bought, If she's carrying something like a piece of paper we can probably zoom in and even read it if the print is big enough...

It's 1000 times better than a tabloid, its instant gratification, you get the gossip shots on the same day that they were taken.

It will never die. People will always love and idolize celebs.
Plus they are also major fashion icons and can start trends by wearing something in public. If their seen wearing a certain item, once that shot hits the net, everyone will want to buy it.

I actually like celeb culture.

People have always into celebs, but the internet made it SO MUCH better.
Even in earlier centuries people were always into the social lives of kings and queens etc in Europe...
