Each to their own I say.

Personally I have a confession to make, I like reading take a break and Bella etc with those wicked true life stories

" I married a murderer"

"My baby nearly killed me"

"My Cancer brought us together"

"They all said he was too young for me"

"My affair wrecked 3 families"

" He won't stop stealing and I am at the end of my Tether"

"Ten years on, after going out for milk, he's walked back into our Life"

"My Neighbor's love making is making my Chinchilla Moody"

It is like Jeremy (I am a God) Kyle but in the comfort of your own Toilet.

Personally I do not read any stories about celebrities as they do not interest me in the slightest.

As a News of the World reader though I do find that they pick on Kerry Karonna, who having seen some interviews with her, I really can't see why she is made out to be such an awful person. Still I think Yuds commented the other day that it is pointless buying these "rags" as they are all made up in any event. I really only buy it for the sport, and to catch a glimpse of some breasts ( best ones are famous hottties on Holiday ala Billy and Charlotte Church, Phoooaw!)

As a News of the World reader

I'm not a tabloid fan in general, but I do sometimes buy the paper if there's a CD in it or something like that... however, the News of the World is one I refuse to buy for any reason whatsoever, after they decided to take the law into their own hands with the whole Sarah's Law thing, with their naming and shaming campaign.

[Vivienne]

Jordan and Peter, but then, they are just annoying people regardless of whether they're together or not..

Talking of those two, have you seen their TV show?

[Console]

Given nicola_red's statement about finding Jordan and Peter annoying, I'm fairly certain I can guess the answer.

[Vivienne]

Go away, Console. It's past your bedtime.

[Console]

Actually, that's true. While I don't have a bedtime any longer, and haven't had for many years, I did once have a bedtime. I believe the last time I did have a bedtime it was at 22:00. Now, given that this was several years ago, it is certainly in the past, unless you wanted to argue that the time arrow is infact pointing in the opposite direction to that of which we perceive, and that time is running from the destruction of the universe back to it's creation, and it's only a matter of entropy that we remember time in the direction we do. This would make the definitions of past and future switch, unless you accept that human language is based on human experience and human limitations within those experiences, so the definitions of the words don't have to match the strict fact and rule of the universe, but only of how we perceive it to be.

[foot-loose]

Ahh. Console's bored again.

Why anyone can find "celebrities" annoying is beyond me. I can agree that the argument that "celebrity gossip is shoved in your face" is irritating, but as others have said - each to their own. It's remarkably easy to avoid though. If walking into a shop and seeing the magazine rack is enough to get your blood boiling, I think it might be time to get back to the doctors and get some more happy pills.

[DevilsDuck]

I dont hate famous people, but dont want to know they spent £7000 on a hand bag either.

I just ignore the magazines, but illglance through the trashin the sunday paper

doesnt really bother me thatmuch

But,I do hate the fake celebs e.g. BB winners etc etc

[Yudster]

You just explained Vivienne. I think.

[S4B]

I've met Paul Daniels and Debbie Magee. He's a bit odd but as a couple they're great. He's shorter then me!!!!!!

[Sunny So Cal]

I don't like "celebrity culture" either, and have never had any problem avoiding it in the main. The most exposure I tend to get is when they talk about BB or X Factor on the radio - but I have to confess thats usually my cue to switch off for a while. Its surprisingly easy, I find.

This is precisely what I do.

I have also heard recently about this entity known as "Brangelina" - i didn't like that much.

I confess to disliking this strange and ever-growing entity myself.

Haha. I couldn't have written it better myself. You don't have to look when you're in the check-out line in the supermarket. You can always ready your cash/card to pay with rather then wait until the end. I am always amazed by the people that stand there for the small eternity while their stuff is rung up and then start the process of looking for their wallet. Did they forget where they were? Perhaps they're the ones that are raptly reading the tabloid covers?

A ha, I've found a comrade! Mrs Ladbroke always buys those shit Take a Break/Bella magazines, and I read all the stories about how they were childhood sweethearts who split up then married other people. They meet up years later when they both have had kids by other people, they get together, and then one of them dies of cancer. Magazineformulatastic. And there is one of these shit magazines that has a real life murder section, explaining how the case was solved. Thats a good read! Lots of women draped in Argos gold and crap tattoos. All the copies do end up in the bog aswell from when she reads them in the bath................

... I found 50p once.

[Nicola_Red]

Given nicola_red's statement about finding Jordan and Peter annoying, I'm fairly certain I can guess the answer.

Console is unsuprisingly correct here, Jordan and Peter's TV show is one of the many that I try very hard to avoid...

[Yudster]

Jordan and Thingy eat about once a week in my brother in law's restaurant, and when they are filming that show the cameras are all there and its a pain in the arse apparently - but not so much so that they won't take the chance that the restaurant might end up on the telly. So far it hasn't I'm told - and I need to be told because much to the disbelief and disgust of his family, I still won't watch it. I know what the place looks like for goodness sake.

[ladbroke]

I actually really like Katie & Peter, they come across as a very nice and genuine couple. Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but there seems to be no pretence or show put on for the cameras.

[Yudster]

According to David, Peter is very pleasant. I don't know his opinion of Katie - but I do know that he wants his restaurant to be on telly so it might not be wise of him to tell anyone really.

[Munki Bhoy]

I'm with foots and Sunny on this. Ignore them, life goes on with or without them. It's surprisingly easy to do. The whole reason for them being in these magazines is to get a reaction out of you - good or bad.

[S4B]

I've met both of them as well and Peter is lovely!

[foot-loose]

Personally, I feel that the facination for reading the intricate, and often totally made up details, about someone elses life simply points to something majorly lacking in your own life.

Tis just my take on things though - each to their own.
