Public interest in celebrity dirt could be waning

TORONTO -- Is our appetite for celebrity gossip waning, spurred on by the mystifying fame of cookie-cutter reality stars and a preponderance of speculative stories that rarely come to pass?

Some are suggesting that a 10-year tidal wave of Hollywood celebrity news has crested and is beginning to recede -- though others counter that, in fact, the unfiltered gossip found on blogs and websites is pulling readers away from more traditional sources of dirt.

The Audit Bureau of Circulations in the United States says sales of four popular celebrity gossip magazines _ Life and Style, In Touch, Star and People -- flattened or declined in the second half of 2007. Only US Weekly and OK! were continuing to attract new readers.

In recent article entitled "Who The Hell Are Heidi and Spencer?'' on Salon.com (www.salon.com), Rebecca Traister opines that erstwhile gossip junkies are kicking the habit lately because they don't care about the private lives of reality TV stars like Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, the despised young couple from "The Hills.''

Even the New York Post's Liz Smith, the grande dame of Hollywood dirt, wrote recently that the golden age of celebrity gossip had long passed and celebrity watchers were rapidly losing interest.

"There's nothing going on in celebrity land. There's no news, no gossip, no scandal,'' she wrote. "We are being dished up loads of stuff about people we have never heard of and don't care about.''
"Gossip is immortal, it will never die. It is not on the wane. As long as there's Britney and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, gossip will continue to thrive, and there will always be Britneys and Brads and Angelinas to come.''

Who was that person told Star magaine and X 17 this fake story.

I KNEW this was bull-puckey! These two attention seeking people will never marry.Perhaps they should though, then they would be guaranteed to break up as she would be looking for a new marriage to break up.

So bored with them, yawn.

I wish them well with their blobs & orphans but I wish they'd move to Africa or Paris like they said they would. GO AWAY!! Take the loonies with you!
