My celeb gossip habit

I love to read trash mags while I am at the hairdressers. It is 90 minutes of quiet where I can be by myself and catch up on my celeb goss. I also like to check sites like TMZ, femail.com and other gossip sites a few times a week. I loathe it and love it at the same time. It is like I have a co-dependant relationship with celebrity news and gossip. I am a lot better these days. When I lived in London I was like a junkie with my magazine-buying habit.

Now, I can’t afford the habit and the Australian magazine selection pales in comparison to the offerings in the UK and US, sadly. My one indulgence, however, is a subscription to Vanity Fair (US edition).

I was looking at a “stars without makeup” photo gallery today (pics of stars sans their “done” faces are guaranteed to shift more copies of magazines!) and some of the captions were hilariously bad (I’ll leave out the celeb names).

… looks exhausted while taking a jog in Santa Monica. REALLY? She’s jogging!

… spotted looking exhausted without makeup carrying daughter. SHOCK! She’s a new mum. It is tiring! And who has time for full makeup when you have kids?

… looking less then hot with bags under her eyes and no make up… I could never be a celeb because I would be so sensitive about comments like this.

What will be next? A caption of a pic from a celebrity funeral:

… looking lifeless at her open casket viewing?!

    I agree! I also feel sorry for the celebrities who are under the worst beach bodies section. Some of them have the tiniest bit of cellulite or a small, small lump on their tummy and they get in the worst section.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog.
