Admittedly, our culture is not just slightly voyeuristic; just from flicking on the local television channels and tuning in to the any number of reality TV series that are undoubtedly airing, will give you a taste for just how addicted we've become to peering in and checking out what's going on in the lives of others.
We like to watch as people throw tantrums and sob about how they can't fit in with the other models, starlets, chefs, designers, celebrities, etc.
It's fun to watch.
And then there are the celebrities.
Since movie stars and singers and heart throb action heroes have graced us with their presence, we as a society have been obsessed with hearing more and more about them.
It's hard to resist peeking at the celeb rags and the tabloids while you're waiting in line at the grocery store.
Really, who can't not open up the yellow mags and take a gander at how the latest Brangelina and Jen drama is shaping up to be? It's almost impossible.
Even the more serious minded can't help but get sucked in.
Half the things we read are outright fabrications of course, but it's still tantalizing stuff.
If you're keen on getting the latest in celebrity gossip but don't want to dish out for a real, tangible magazine, there's always the internet.
Luckily today, even those who live far away from the pace of modern day city life can get a taste of what's brewing in the shiny world of celebutantes and celebrities by association using a satellite internet connection.
Satellite internet is the only way to get your daily fix of celeb gossip.
It's not only 50 times faster than dial-up, it's also available.
People who live in small, rural towns deserve to be always connected too.
However, as they don't get DSL or cable internet, they have been pushed aside to some extent, until the arrival of satellite broadband.
Now, though, they can easily visit some of the juiciest celeb gossip sites and find out who's dating whom, who's wearing what, who's eating or not eating or attempting to eat, who's not getting engaged, or who has to decide between two lovers.
One of the more famous celeb rag sheets out there is without doubt Perez Hilton's site, http://www.
perezhilton.
com.
The name isn't all that original, but the content is very juicy indeed.
Hilton, not related to Paris, but Paris is featured frequently, is based in LA, the heart of hearts of celeb territory, so he gets the best scoops of them all.
You'll find stories about up and coming celebs, old timers and minor celebs alike.
They all get equal representation.
Another celeb gossip site which is pretty popular is the in your face TMZ.
They are known for sending out reporters or celebrity hunters who ask their prey inane questions like, what'd you just eat.
Fascinating stuff really.
