When Did Cellulite Become so Important?

Seems like every week when I pay for groceries, the latest copy of the Enquirer or Globe or something has a big splashy cover about some female celebrity's cellulite, with closeup photos of their rear end. Is this what it takes to sell these magazines? My God, what a news scoop. The first one I saw a few weeks ago was full of photos of Britney Spears ass with the shocking story of her cellulite. And she's only 20! How horrible.

Maybe she gets all the attention she craves, but I can't imagine how her life must be when photographers are just falling over each other trying to get closeups of every inch of her body every time she goes out in public. What if you were subject to such close inspection, with every blemish plastered on a newspaper cover for every one to see? In this regard, I feel sorry for her and the other divas who have to put up with this kind of public attention.
