A friend of mine recently turned me on to an Instagram<\/a> account that posts the dishiest celebrity gossip. She recommended it with a warning: “It will fully take over your nightly reading.” She was right. The first night I had access to the account, I stayed up until 3 a.m. reading outrageous blind item after outrageous blind item. I couldn’t stop. And when I discovered the DMs posted from users rehashing supposedly real celebrity encounters, I felt another rush of dopamine. It was the happiest and most alive I’d felt since the world fell to pieces in the face of the coronavirus<\/a> pandemic.<\/p>\n

Judge me if you want, but I love trashy celebrity gossip. Yes, I’m using the word love<\/em> here. When the world is normal, I treat it like tequila shots<\/a>, cotton candy, or listening to Nickelback<\/a>\u2014fun to indulge in every now and then, but too much will make you sick. Celebrities may have the most privilege human beings can get, but they’re still humans after all\u2014reading about their sordid affairs, debaucherous nights, or allegedly wretched behavior does feel invasive after a while.<\/p>\n
