there is something humanizing and endearingly sweet about celebrities who try their hands at parenting (never mind those excellent photo-ops and favorable publicity it automatically generates).
notwithstanding the usual intense media and public scrutiny that surrounds the arrival of each celebrity offspring, there is always that part of you that's curious as to how this particular child or that kid will turn out.
and so we keep our eyes (and flashbulbs) open to record and exclaim over each smile, gurgle and wail, or any other tell-tale moment, and then tell the whole world about it -- rather like officious relatives who like nothing better than to stick their oar in.
and so, we like to tell ourselves it's all part of the cycle that keeps their parents in the limelight and keeps the industry alive. in any case, the unending routine feeds the whole process: it provides reporters and photographers material to fill up pages of those entertainment magazines and online sites that we buy and subscribe to. and, in turn, in stimulates us to know more.
when you come right down to it, we like seeing these pictures because these folks are darn photogenic.
