Exactly. The 14-25 crowd is enamored with this stuff not realizing that the bulk of people in this world aren't in that age group and could care less what Kanye does or how much of a trainwreck Britney Spears is. They're busy spending time with family and friends, earning a living, and following issues that affect their neighborhoods and the country (like school budgets, taxes, etc). Most of these celebrities are nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Kanye's music is largely sampled, he's no Beatles. Those Nike's are just going to be someone's smelly old shoes, he's no Ralph Lauren. There's a HUGE difference between being timely and timeless. Kanye is timely, he's around for now but he will be gone eventually.

what about people who are in the 15-25 range? What if we find celebrity gossip entertaining?
The point is, we do, and we are the next generation. What the mass thinks might not be right to you, as an offbeat individual, but it is certainly important to someone going into a field of appealing to the masses. Fashion is not generic, but it needs to appeal to the mass.
If I, and millions of other young people, find celebrity antics entertaining, who are you to tell me its not? Go watch ESPN if you enjoy that. I dont enjoy sports, or care about them, but I understand that they are culturally important, and people of certain groups enjoy them.
