This is one equation that has always baffled the race that took domination after the dinosaurs died. When you flip through entertainment news channels, you come across many couples who have a good number of years between their birth years. A couple of famous examples would be Katie Holmes-Tom Cruise and Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher. These couples are known in the celebrity gossip circles. They are also known as couples who have a yawning age gap. There is no strain on their relationship because of the age gap, but readers of celeb gossip columns sometimes wonder aloud why a man falls for a woman much younger in age and vice versa. The answer, though not definite, is out there somewhere. Let’s look at some possibilities.

A younger person is generally happier. This appeals to the older partner. Entertainment news columns are awash with such stories. A younger person feels excited about life, sees the positive aspect of things and is more forthcoming about hope in the future. The older generation, which tends to be cynical about things, takes a liking to this attitude. They feel drawn more by the vitality and life force in the person than the personality of the person. It’s like living life anew through someone. Of course, the older man who dates a girl much younger to him finds himself at the receiving end of extensive celeb gossip coverage. But some things in life are worth, they are heard saying!

Younger people make you feel smarter. Ask any celebrity who features on entertainment sites on a regular basis and you will know that the older partner feels more responsible, more protective and more involved when dating a young partner. There is always this factor of having things to teach your partner. Because the older person is more experience in the ways of life, he or she is in a more capable position of handling the relationship with maturity and concern. The limelight shed by celebrity gossip sites and portals are something to deal with as well. Keeping a balance in the relationship, despite the continued media glare, is one such issue.

Then there are those entertainment news junkies who date a celebrity just to get in the celebrity gossip circles. They have no intention of taking the relationship to a more serious level. They are casual about life and take things as they come. In that case, it becomes easier to connect with a younger celebrity because he or she is not accustomed to the machinations of these media whores. The younger succumbs to the charms of the older. But such relationships are not stable. Before long you will come across break-up alerts on the celeb gossip sites, ringing the death knell of the relationship. But all is not bad and bleak. There are some who fall for the innocent charms that the young have embedded on their faces. There is no greater lure than an innocent face and a sharp mind! It’s all about chemistry and some May-December couples have oodles of that!

The world of entertainment news is divided into two worlds: one that existed before the digital age boom and the other, after it. By digital age, we mean all those equipments and technological progress that has shaped the industry of celebrity gossip as we see it today. There are many milestones on this journey. Some inventions and innovations have become synonymous with the paparazzi and the celeb gossip circles. Media of communication has also had a significant effect on this development. The most significant invention here is the cell phone.

Cell phones equipped with cameras and video capture facilities have changed the face of entertainment news. Anyone with a cell phone can now act as the paparazzi! Ordinary citizens are known to click pictures of celebrities when they don’t want it to happen that way. A camera may not be with you all the time. But a cell phone is generally around. Cell phones have contributed toward celebrity gossip is ways than any other gadget has. Suddenly you had phone records and text messages being published in the celeb gossip columns.

The menace of cell phones is so great in the entertainment news section that many wannabe starlets actually keep text messages saved when they are dating top-notch celebrities. When the affair goes bust, they sell the text messages to celebrity gossip sites for a fat fee. Readers of the celeb gossip sites have much to rejoice because they get the authentic scoop and the insider’s update, leaving no room for further speculation. The most recent example was Tiger Woods’ numerous mistresses selling out his amorous text messages to the tabloids. It got him into deeper trouble and the readers into higher levels of relish.

Another significant digital technology that got the entertainment news tizzy with feverish excitement is the internet and computers. Celebrity gossip and news updates now raced across the globe and back forth in an instant. Internet allows real-time updates. It eradicates the wait for that fortnightly magazine and makes allowances for instant gratification. A celeb on a holiday with an illegitimate partner may find their snaps on celeb gossip sites the next morning, leaving no scope for damage control methods. With the internet, the paparazzi can go viral with a video capture without raising a sweat. It’s all out there online. Enthusiastic readers can also check out the archives to follow a story better!

The latest gadgets that help entertainment news reports other than cell phones are high resolution cameras, better zoom facilities, CCTVs and other photography equipment. Those days of grainy photographs are long gone. You can find real high quality images on celeb gossip sites these days. Your favorite icons grace the covers of magazines and tabloids in all their finery. The paparazzi these days know that getting the picture isn’t the only criteria these days. They have to take a good shot at it. And that is where modern equipments come in handy. The digital age is here to stay and the entertainment news sector will definitely benefit from its progress.

I wish you the best and hence hope that you do not have a slow Internet connection Other than that lack of speed, there are few reasons to not enjoy videos online.

What used to be hours and many minutes have now been converted to few minutes or seconds. That is what the world of entertainment has become: sound bytes, flash videos, and instant gratification.

. Even those kinds of videos have made their way through the buzzing cyber-wires. But, I am most excited about two others kinds of development.

The focussed capsule of entertainment is one of the first fallouts of online videos. So, you know exactly what to expect. And when you get it, you know you got it. This is akin to the bite-sized, some would call it fun-sized candy bar.

The web does not make videos, but is sures makes distribution real easy. Sure, the Internet does not create videos, but it sure seems to encourage their production. So, now, everyone is a producer. And while they are at it, a director, an actor, a scriptwriter, a screenplay writer, and a voice over artist.

Initially, I was worried that online videos would turn out to be garbage. It is refreshing to see the take of these new digital creators. In fact, online videos have become the eyes of the world with enthusiasts rapidly shooting everything that needs to be shot.

We are on the threshold of a great new worl for online videos. In addition to production qualities getting slicker, I think we are also in for a more meaningful discourse coming through. This will probably be aided by the fact that many erstwhile free video-sharing sites might actually end up paying video producers.

If that happens, there will be a fresh new lease of life to producers and the flow could be so strong that what we have now would seem like a trickle.

If all that I am saying is not connecting, please do visit any entertainment site. Most of them will have online videos that you can watch for free. If the site actually makes editorial decisions in choosing the videos to display, the quality of videos would shoot up.

Everyone has their favorites, I lke bloopers. I don’t know what is wrong with me, but there is some exceptional pleasure in watching people accidentally make a fool of themselves! Sorry, I know that is kind of mean, but hey, it is funny, what can I say?

If you somehow missed this entire phenomenon, get going now. Watch a few online videos.
