Confession time: do you read tabloids?

Okay, ladies, I have to admit that I am totally addicted to Star Magazine. I mostly just love the bad pictures and some of the quotes (for example, this week Mariah Carey said something like, "Sometimes I might be a little difficult" LOL!). I never used to read this until they changed the paper stock from newsprint to regular magazine stock...

It's a sickness, I know!

What do YOU read?

Cheers,
Marie

I don't read tabloids, but I do tape soap operas. It's my "unwind" time when I get home from work. I like to watch something that requires little to no thought whatsoever. :)
 
At the waiting room of my son's OT's office, there are tons of gossip rags, most of them back issues. I think it's US that they have most of out there. That's where I learned that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are going out and that Oprah got a role in Desperate Housewives. Maybe this is all old news?:eek: What amazes me is how the papparazzi can take a very detailed photo of someone from far away. If they can't get a close-up, they use those telephoto lenses then blow up the photo even more on the computer (I know, because the photo on the magazine is pixelated and grainy, and there are gradations between the colors that make up the lines or shadows in the photo) to expose someone's birthmark or mole or skin imperfection.

I will pick up a tabloid every once in a while, when there is a cover story about "worst dressed" or "stars with cellulite" or "bad plastic surgery" or something that shows these "beautiful people" are not so much so! (I especially like the "worst dressed" issues, because I know I would be able to dress myself much better than all of those folks on it!)
 
My dream day in the summer is kicking back on a beach at Lake Tahoe and thumbing through a trashy People magazine! Love it! Except that the ink will stick to your sunscreen if you rest it on your legs/tummy....so be careful;)
 
I never was interested. I was flipping through Us at the hair salon. I have to say Britney's dark hair extensions were hideous.

>Only while waiting in checkout lines....
>:D

Weekly World News is beyond tabloid oddness, and it's always right at the check-out counter! (I must admit, I do have rather a fascination with that alien who has consulted with each of the presidents, and has had an affair with Hilary Clinton;-) .
 
Yes I like to read people and Us when I am at the Drs/dentist/ortho etc.... Passes the time, but I do not subsribe. I like to purchase dvds instead.

The closest I get to reading a tabloid is flipping through People while I'm at an appointment. I really couldn't care less that Brad Pitt had lunch at such-and-such restaurant where he drank a glass of Perrier and then went for a walk to pick up his dry-cleaning. I find the whole idea of tabloids a bit baffling.
 
The BEST Weekly World News cover I ever saw (and I actually bought it because of this) had Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Ladin dressed in tutus and declared that they were "secret lovers" <LOL>

But.... but.... Donna? It's BRAD PITT. Who cares what it says about him, there's PICTURES. And it's BRAD PITT.

If they made a movie with Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp standing in a field waving for 2 hours, I'd pay GOOD MONEY to see that.

;)
 
well not the tabloids but I love magazines like In Touch, Us Weekly, etc, which is as good as tabloid material, wouldn't ya say?

My hubby picked up my copy of Us Weekly last weekend and came over to me while unpacking groceries and said "are you tired of the lies?" I looked at him like he lost his mind. Then I realized he was talking about the cover with Jessica Simpson. lol, he's such a dork.

Now that WOULD be a good movie. Especially if they put Jude Law in it too! I still don't care what they had for lunch, though
 
Well, I don't care what they had for lunch either (unless it includes ME}( ), but as long as there are pictures I'm happy.
