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.
