Tabloids Critique the Celebrities, so We Critique the Tabloids!
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 admit it, I’m a tabloid addict. I read several tabloids per week, but mostly in my spare time. Needless to say, I have a lot of spare time on my hands.
Like when I’m at the doctor’s office. They never have good magazines in the waiting room. Like Ladies Home Journal, who wants to read that? Or men’s magazines, about cars, or *gasp* hunting. So today I decided to take the magazines into my own hands and brought a tabloid with me. I forgot which one it was. Anyway, it made for a much more interesting wait.
Today I read about Angelina’s supposed pregancy. I’ll believe it when I actually see the baby bump. Even then I might not be sure, because it might be photoshopped.
But I’m tired of Brangelina – yet I read each article about them with utter obsession, mulling over each detail. Why? Why oh why do I continue to torment myself like this? Brangelina has grown into this great big monster – it’s like a huge wart on my butt, and I can’t get it off!
What I want is more Britney – even though everyone else is sick of her. I can’t get enough. I love the trainwrecks. Today I was reading about the “hooking up” between Britney and Kevin on her Circus tour, and how she wants Kevin to break up with his girlfriend. (I forgot her name, but I guess it isn’t important.)
Another thing I’m getting sick of is this breakup between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson. Didn’t this happen over a month ago? Guys, you need some new material!
But like I said, I do like the trainwrecks, like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. I don’t like the trainwrecks turned do-gooders like Angelina. Angelina was much cooler when she was openly wierd. When she was with Billy Bob (even though he’s old and gross) and did blood sports. Now she’s still wierd, but she’s trying to act normal, whatever that is for a celebrity, and being a snob. I really don’t like her anymore. She always has this snooty expression in her photographs. And I’m really getting sick of her obsession with kids. I wonder if she is collecting them like dolls.
I’m done with Angelina. Keep feeding me the trainwrecks, because I love the chaos! What can I say, I’m an addict!
