When you add regionalism to it, it can have the effect of pushing you away, not pulling you in. It's because we know who Cher is. But some British radio or daytime TV celeb? No idea. We don't care.

Why should it be more dull looking at a British starlet dressed for a London gala than it is a Hollywood star on a red carpet in front of a L.A. cinema? It shouldn't be, but it was. There just isn't anything great or interesting about trying to pan places the greater audience doesn't know.
