Why do celebrities get scrutinised?

Celebrities like Anne Hathaway often face intense public and media scrutiny, especially regarding personal matters such as pregnancy. This can be driven by a combination of genuine public interest, the parasocial relationships fans form with stars, and the constant demand for news and content in the digital age. Social media amplifies this, allowing direct commentary and speculation.
