Celebrity Gossip Is… Good, Maybe?

This week we talk about parasocial relationships, celebrities, and society’s love for gossip. 

We break down what a parasocial relationship is, discuss celebrity culture and how we use it to navigate our own social relationships, argue the benefits of gossip, and discuss our own experiences being ‘micro-celebrities’.
