If you know me, you know I'm a reader. Since 4 years old I've been reading everything from cereal boxes to my mom's old textbooks. In addition to reading everything, I read everywhere too. So you can understand my devastation this past weekend when I realized I'd left my current novel at home while on a family road trip to my cousin's graduation celebration. The only answer was to buy...tabloids
Just so you know what I consider a tabloid, it's pretty much any mag that features exclusively celebrities and isn't fashion based. If it claims to have tellalls or exclusive insights from routinely unnamed sources, it's a tabloid.
We all know how fake the majority of tabloids are, but that does not stop us from reading, does it. I can tell you I don't stop. Because it's entertaining. These magazines are more fiction than fact so it's like reading a novel, only you don't have to image what the people look like and the entirety of the story is about a page and a half long at most.
Also, let's not lie to ourselves, we all have thought at least once that it would be a little bit awesome to have a bunch of people care about the outfit, makeup look and hairstyle it took you hours to perfect. To have people super invested in you romantic relationship since it's all you want to talk about. To have people from all over dying to go to that little cupcake shop you love with the sweet owner and amazing customer service because little Ms. Ethel could use the business. But what a lot of us forget is that for all the times where you're happy and could gush about the highs of your life for hours, we have just as many lows that we want to sweep under the rug and never talk about. And what usually happens when we don't talk about our problems and people really want to know about it? Rumors happen! Nasty, ugly rumors that take whatever situation you were avoiding and amp it up with a tons of lies that make the story more interesting. That's why when I read unpleasant things in tabloids I take them with a grain of salt. I mean it's just another short story after all.
So dolls, do you read tabloids? And if you do, do you take them seriously or not? If you don't comment I'll just tell everyone that your pregnant by your boyfriend's best friend who is also half werewolf and that every room in your house is wallpapered with pictures of Kim and Kanye's Vogue spread. It's a better story anyway. :) -Buttercup
