After reading the Ashley Cole has cheated on his wife Cheryl it got me thinking whether we as a society enjoy the antics of celebrities?

Are we secretly pleased when they screw up?

Take for example, Britney Spears, what has happened to her over the last year is horrid, you wouldnt wish it on your worst enemies but yet we follow the latest gossip to see whats happened next. Do we gloat when everything goes wrong?

Another example is Amy Winehouse. Yet we watch with bated breath to see what she has been up to. Her downfall has been very public and very humiliating but some people following it as if it was a soap opera.

Is this what society has come to?
