Why has the news of Britney Spears or Brad Pitt’s twins been in the Yahoo! headlines for the last week?

Anyone else ever notice this?
Since I started using internet around 2000, all I ever read when I open the the Yahoo! news headlines is gossip about Britney Spears or Brad Pitt and Angelina’s twins, etc.
I am really not interested it that, and even though for the last 8 years, I’ve been bombarded by news about Britney Spears, it has not gotten me any closer to listening to any of her music, or watching any more of Pitt’s movies…
Could it be that Yahoo is paid off to say all of this about them to us, or is it that most Yahoo! users are interested?
I sure am not.. It would help if any of you tell me more than I know abhout why this is, if you know… Please.
I am American, too, sir, and trust me, I do not care about any of this news either, and am asking this mainlyy because I find it annoying, too
