Are you kidding me? She has redefined mediocrity in professional sports.

It's the same for all celebrities. Some actor named Matt Dillon got bagged in VT, and it's on the front page of Boston.com (which means it will be featured in tomorrow's Boston Globe).

Why are these stories about Danica and Matt Damon news?
Because we read them and are talking about them. In more simple terms, it helps sell newspapers and air time because a lot of people will read the story, or listen to it on the radio or television.

Here we are a half a continent away from where they happened and we are talking about it.

That's Journalism 101.
News is defined as information that people WANT to know; or NEED to know. All of the celebrity news falls into the want to know. We might not need to know but we sure are curious.
