I've noticed many hysterical-sounding posts here about "WHY does it matter??" and "No one has shown any PROOF or EVIDENCE!!" and WHY is it important to you??"

The reason people are interested is...well, it's the same way any follower of an artist would want to know more about that person's life. It just makes you appreciate where their work springs from, their history...or maybe you're just interested in how they live or who they date, or whatever.

It's the same way with ANY star. If there weren't an interest in what stars did in the hours they're not working, there would never have been any fan magazines or specials about performers' lives or anything like that. It makes the public feel closer to the actors they admire to know more about their lives.

It's always been that way.
