Ah the publicity machine rolls out again. Same as it ever was in mass media.
I don’t really have an interest in Sydney Sweeney, but I see the same outlets rolling things out for publicity that they were doing for celebrities 20 years ago. That they were doing 50 years ago. That they were doing in the silver age of Hollywood.
The same old celebrity gossip format out of nothing that we keep falling for.

Studies of primates have been interested in our fascination with celebrity culture for a long time.
Perhaps one day they will identify the gene marker for celebrity fascination and we can pretend these stories have an ending.
