    There's money to be made out of it simple as that.

    Well grief whoring became fashionable with the explosion of "social" media.

    There's so little content and people have to spam stuff on their twatter and faecesbook accounts just to appear to have a life. This behaviour isn't limited to deifying slebs of course.
