Re: They live for the gossip

Hi,

From The Top Ten Distinctions Between Millionaires and The Middle Class by Keith Smith, P 17.

"Let’s look more closely at entertainment. The middle class and the very poor are often Hollywood’s biggest fans. They live for the gossip. They can’t wait to see who did what. They are glued to their television sets."

Please rephrase the part highlighted above as I was not able to understand it clearly.

Izzy, that means that their only (or their main) interest in life is learning about the lives of Hollywood celebrities. The preposition "for" introduces the purpose, in this case, their aim in life.
