Schadenfreude
Scandals are delicious to us
Celebrities are fair fodder
How thrilling to hear the details of the divorce
Anothers misfortune sadly gives us a certain joy
Devilish felings of smuggness
Eventually we all feel it
No sense denying it
From the scandal sheets to your smile
Reading the headlines at the checkout
Enjoying the gossip
Uncharitable phsycological state
Drama draws un in like flies to honey
Envy is at the root
