Does anyone really care???

It is not just you. I find that learning the details of celebrities' lives is about as interesting as having someone describe "last night's strange dream" in exacting detail... yawn. Celebrities are just people, and they are no more awe-worthy than any other soul who is great at what they do.

Last year I sat in a lounge in the Bellagio in Las Vegas, having drinks with a friend. At the next table was Val Kilmer. Despite his attempts to keep a low profile, I watched a few people spot him, freak out, and come get autographs from him. I just sat there thinking about how that bit of ink scratched across the back of a receipt would probably become someone's most treasured posession. Sad, really.
