Movies about Celebrities' Lives



Many celebs create movies about their lives. These movies usually attract large audiences who are curious about the personal details of their favorite celebrities. I remember when the Katy Perry movie, "Part Of Me," came out, everyone was so excited to see it because it told details of her recent divorce with Russell Brand. 

What gets me is that people are so interested in these movies featuring the life stories of these celebrities. Why do we care so much about these peoples' personal lives? 

Justin Beiber came out with a similar type of movie, "Never Say Never," highlighting his life leading up to one of his biggest concerts at Madison Square Garden. It showed the trials and tribulations he went through to get ready for the concert, as well as footage from the actual event itself. Justin Beiber fans were counting down the days until this movie was released. 

My question is, what sort of gain is there from these movies? I mean, yeah, we know more about the private lives of these celebrities, but what does that knowledge do for us? Why are we as a society so interested in what celebrities do and why they do what they do? Why do we even care about the details of Katy Perry's divorce or what Justin Bieber does to prepare for his concerts?
