Alright....I admit it.
I love tabloid TRASH!

Just got back from the grocery with 2 new trashy mags for after dinner reads.

So sue me! :P

Sometimes I pick one up for her as a special treat.
Especially Soapies.

8. MUCH better, thanks.
The first three days were the worst.
She's doing laundry now.
The trof household is pretty much back to what passes for normal.

4. Wow, I'm proud of you!
Since you've come out, I will too. I have the same dark secret. What the hell - most of the time, I read hugely thick, nonfiction tomes. Sometimes I enjoy picking up something that's easy reading and just plain entertaining.

Wow, I feel so much better!

6. My sister got me a subscription for Globe magazine for my
birthday, kind of as a joke. It's okay, but if I'm going to have a tabloid delivered to my door each week, I'd prefer The Enquirer.

7. In the new issue of Star
It appears that Paris Hilton is feuding with Jessica Simpson!

OH THE HORROR! :) I still love them anyway....

But the Globe, now that's ART!

10. Wanna hear something really scary?
My kid's married to a rock star, and it's shocking how much stuff those rags get right.

I buy them, too. Every Monday.

14. They've gotten very sophisticated
They actually hire pretty good writers, and they pay tons of $$$ to informants and tipsters.

They've been sued enough that they've caught on.

There is, however, always "News Of The World." The one with the two-headed nun giving birth to the 400 lb. alien baby.............

13. I think the Enquirer has broken quite a few stories that were actually
true. Star has become too fashion-y for me. I want juicy stories!

15. Me, too
I'm so disappointed in the new Star. Like a poor man's People or Us.

Boring.

Mostly, I want unflattering pictures of Goldie Hawn looking 60 and Britney eating and looking trashy.

Is that too much to ask?

Oh, and more Melanie Griffith plastic surgery pix, please.

16. HA!!!
I love it when the editors try to figure out who's had plastic surgery.

Funny stuff! Or shall I say mindless crap that keeps this active brain happy for a few hours anyway. :P

17. but the fashion is the best part
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 06:48 PM by Rich Hunt
I just like to study the clothes and make-up.

The stories are worthless except as entertainment, but I enjoy reading them from time to time. Weekly World News is more accurate than these things, and twice as funny.

18. I know, I know...
I try to read up all the headlines on the way through the check out line. There are just some that get to me like finding:live batboy, in a cave. Man, you just gotta know. How can you resist. Uhmmmm, I love trash.
