Let’s be honest for a moment: we all love to read about, watch, and discuss celebrity exploits. Even the most oblivious of us still relish the big scandals, passing spurious judgment on people they’ve never met. It’s fun. We’d be tempted to be intimidated by celebrities if we didn’t spend a lot of time reminding ourselves that they’re just as accident-prone and irresponsible as the rest of us. And for that reason, even if you barely know the names of any of today’s A-listers, you’ve still been a celebrity disher at one time or another. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

But what sort are you? Let’s see…

Are you…OBSESSED?
If you rush to the computer during commercial breaks of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF to check on Oh No They Didn’t, then you might be obsessed. Celebrities are a big part of your life - you know all their names, their significant other’s names, their friends’ names, and how many DUIs they’ve had. If you’re the autograph hound type, then you’ve probably got enough signed head shots to wallpaper your bedroom. Don’t be ashamed - hold your head high. Someday, you could get an awesome job with TMZ.

Are you…CASUAL?
While the hilarious antics of celebrities amuse you, you don’t necessarily know their names or what they do. Seems like there’s a new tween starlet or reality show hunk popping out of the woodwork every day, and you simply can’t keep track of them all. Nor do you care to. You might read a celebrity blog now and then, but you’re mostly scanning for recognizable names to chuckle at. Still, you may find yourself occasionally commenting on water-cooler discussions about the latest celeb faux pas with surprising accuracy and insight…

Are you…EMPATHETIC?
If you’re one of those types who spends several hours per day reading the more cut-throat celebrity news resources and valiantly defending celebs at random - or even just a few favorites - then you might fit into this group. In a physical altercation between a celeb and a paparazzo, you’re much more likely to side with the famous one. After all, his privacy is being violated! There’s simply no excuse for that! The only times you’re known to turn against a celeb is when they turn against each other, and it becomes necessary to pick sides.

Are you…MERCILESS?
On the other side of the spectrum, you’re the kind of person who has absolutely no pity for celebrities. They’re rich, they’re famous, they live the kind of lifestyle that most people will never have the opportunity to experience - so if they can’t handle a little negative backlash, then they have no business being in the industry! You’d never hesitate to criticize someone for venturing out of the house without makeup, packing on a few pounds, or getting into a fight. Whether it’s because you secretly idolize them or are just angry at them for feeling entitled, it’s not clear - but you’re a sloppy celebrity’s worst nightmare.

Do you prefer…LOOKS?
It might not be all about the nose jobs, but there’s something about certain people - they just exude style and glamor. From Paris Hilton to Jessica Alba, these lovelies may not be the most talented people in the world, but you’re charmed by them nonetheless. To you, it’s not about what you do…it’s about who you are. You’d never dream of questioning why Kim Kardashian is famous; she just is, and that’s cool. And you could watch her for hours.

Do you prefer…TALENT?
If you find yourself irritated by the proliferation of socialites and beauty queens with no marketable skills, then maybe this is your bag. For you, it’s all about people who have something to offer. Whether that thing is music, acting, or comedy, you’ll turn your sights to unconventionally attractive celebrities in favor of the porcelain doll types who just stand around looking pretty. Overall, you’re into substance over style. And you’d argue until you were blue in the fact that Sarah Silverman is prettier than Nicole Richie.

Are you…a REPORTER?
If you own or write for a celebrity blog, then this one’s a no-brainer. But there may be subtler signs that you’re a journalist at heart. If you’re the one who always comes to work bursting with the latest celebrity news, spurring all the lunchtime discussions - or the first one to post about new exploits on your favorite message boards - then you, my friend, are a reporter! Not content merely to absorb the news, you need to put your own unique spin on it and pass it along to others.

Are you…a GAWKER?
For you, just reading the news is enough. While you might discuss it at school or over coffee with friends, it’s not the sort of thing you feel the need to comment upon and spread to the masses. Sure, you’ll comment on celebrity blogs now and then, but mostly you just read them and chuckle quietly to yourself.
