I know I’m not supposed to look at tabloids anymore, but today I gave into the impulse. I went to the Y to work out and realized I forgot my book to read during the treadmill and the exercise bike. Doing those things without reading is extremely boring to me. Well, the magazines at the Y suck. They have Time, Sports Illustrated, car magazines, and Ladies Home Journal. I can stand a little bit of LHJ but I wasn’t in the mood for it today. I wanted some good reading material. So I went to Food Lion next door and bought an issue of OK! magazine.

I savored every minute of it. It made my workout so fun! There is something about reading tabloids that actually makes me feel happy. But, it is an expensive habit. The magazine was $3.99 without tax. That’s $4.00 and it only takes me about an hour to read the whole thing. Four dollars for an hour of pleasure. Pretty expensive. I understand why God does not want me to read these rags.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the juicy article about the whole Gosselin drama, and I got a good chuckle at Kate’s dorky high school photo. Goodness gracious, what a geek! We are about the same age so it is not about being dated. My high school pictures look good! In fact, I looked better then than I do now! I can’t say the same about Kate. The funniest part is that she had a bad haircut back then too. The poor girl has no fashion sense whatsoever. But I guess that’s the least of her problems right now. It would suck to be her – 8 kids, a cheating husband. No thank you.

I just finished reading the June 1st issue of Star Magazine. Star is my favorite tabloid, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I’ve been reading it since I was a kid at my grandmother’s house. That would make over 20 years of reading the magazine. So, Star and I go way back.

Overall, I liked the issue. But as usual, I have a few items to quibble over.

First of all, I was offended by the article: “Malia & Sasha: White House Rascals”. I think that the president’s daughters should be off-limits to the media, especially when they are underage. But I guess the tabloids have no standards. And whoever that employee was that yelped to Star about the children’s brattiness needs a good lashing herself. You just don’t hurt kids like that even if they do pi** you off. Heck, I worked for this couple once who had horribly bratty children, but I never did anything mean-spirited to them. And, from what I read in the article, the girls are just behaving like normal children. What do people expect? Of course they are going to blast their music and speak in code. I did that stuff. Geez!

Next, “Brit’s Not Doing Well” – I really wish people would leave Britney alone, as that gay guy begged the media to do some time ago.

But if they left her alone, then I wouldn’t know how she is doing. Yet, it seems that they only write about her when she is doing poorly. I really hope she does start to do well. I think she should invest her money, move out to Montana, and live off the interest. That’s what I would do if I were her. By now shouldn’t she be sick of the spotlight? Then again maybe she is addicted to it.

I think some stars do get addicted to fame. For instance, Spencer Pratt’s quote on page 96: “Heidi and I do love fame. We’re honored to be famous. We feel blessed to be famous. We pray every day to stay famous.” Well, at least he is honest.

I rather enjoyed “Jon & Kate Nastiest Divorce EVER!” because I absolutely cannot stand Kate Gosselin.

Next: “Best and Worst Beach Bodies” – Why did they pick on Pam Anderson for having a flabby belly while they excused Julia Roberts? Pam’s had three kids too! But I laughed out loud at the new term “moobs” – short for “man boobs.”

Lastly, in this issue, I forced myself to read the “Beauty Secrets” page and I found something neat: Model in a Bottle Makeup Setting Spray. I might actually try that.

  First and foremost, prayers and healing vibes to Exodus, the daughter of Mike Tyson. The 4-year old suffered critical injury when her neck was caught in exercise equipment. She is on life support Very sad.

OctoMel — Gibson and his Russian babe are expecting. Yawn. This is Gibson’s eigth child. I feel kind of sorry for his wife and other children. I wonder how they are doing? I hope his ex can find love and happiness herself.

Jon and Kate might split up. These Gosselins have intrigued me. I don’t have the patience to watch their show, as I am a busy person and don’t care for reality shows. I have my own marital tensions and bratty child incidents to keep me entertained. However, there is something about these two…he likes to get out and party and she is just…I don’t know…offputting. Aggressive? I’m eager to see their story play out, I hope whatever is best for the kids happens.

Kenda Wilkinson of Girls Next Door fame (it’s not fair to be so pretty!) is getting her own show entitled Kendra, which premieres on E! June 7. She is engaged to baller Hank Baskett and has said they want to be young parents. 

 Kendra is also coming out with a stripper pole workout that she says can get you in shape while teaching you how to be “…sexy for your man.”

Maybe it’s just that I’m a decade older than Kendra, or have been married for 11 years and had two children, but if I tried pole dancing for my husband he would probably give me golf claps and say “good job” as not to hurt my feelings or say, “move, you’re blocking the television.” One or the other.

It does sound fun, though.  It is a workout I would do with a girlfriend or in private. Not for my man.
