Looking at the numerous magazines racks at the grocery storeI've came to the conclusion that we never know what really is the truth about anyone these days. Without personally knowing any of the celebrities gracing the covers of OK, Star, and Enquirer just to name a few, then we truly have no idea. Pictures of medically altered bodies, and headlines like "dark secrets" and "addicted to plastic surgery" really bring to life that Hollywood and everything "celebrity" is definitely a world within another. I'm not quite sure if I'm in the majority or minority here, but when I see these magazines I usually just tend to shake my head and laugh at them. Some of the things you see on the covers and inside the issues are totally stupid. I really don't care if Lady Gaga is a guy or a girl or whether or not Octomom has 8 kids or 25 kids, sorry. Alot of people on the other hand enjoy seeing these things. I was behind a lady at the store the other day who bought almost every tabloid on the rack. It was during the blizzard, so I hope she just picked them up since she needed extra toilet paper and wasn't actually going to read them. These magazines tend to always be giving you the negative about someone or something. Putting a certain spin on it just to make it interesting. These creative writers who spin stories in order to get better ratings for the company rarely have any desire to keep the persons best interest at heart, they simply create fallacies so the company can receive better ratings. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather listen to nails on a chalk board than read or look at anything inside these magazines. But oh well, to each his own, I guess.
