First off, I beleive that news is any event that occurs that has some amount of importance to a certain number of people. Because the American population is so obsessed with the rich and famous, we are always looking for the quickest way to get the newest gossip before it actually hits the news-stand or television. The celelbrity blogs are an important source of getting these stories to the public and an exceptionally quick pace. Someone goes and sees something take place then they can go home and post a blog in a matter of minutes and then millions of people are able point and click their mouse to the latest gossip or "news" about celebrities like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton.
I do think that these type of "news" stories take up too much of our media. I'm sure there are millions of other newsworthy stories that would catch the attention of viewers, but news-stations and newspapers want ratings and that is what celebrity news gives them.
