We are a celebrity-obsessed culture. Did you click through the Met Gala red carpet pics? Have you been rooting for Britney Spears to escape her conservatorship? Were you just a little happy to see that J-Lo and Ben Affleck are back together? The pandemic may have deepened our celebrity obsessions. Cooper Lawrence is an expert on this phenomenon. She co-hosts a pop culture podcast and has written a bunch of books on celebrity culture. (Segment produced by Sydney Jezik)
