Disgusting. I don't understand our worship of people just for being famous. We have an army of folks (Paris Hilton,Keven Federline etc) who we obsess about for little more reason than that the they are famous. We buy magazines that are little more than grainy long distance shots of them and other famous folks (including those with actual talent) grocery shopping, or walking down the street, or at restaurants with friends. We obsess about which person we've never met might have gained weight, etc. This story takes it to another level though. We are a sick culture.
It's the same reason people can't turn away from looking at a car wreck on the highway.
