US Weekly Magazine  — 

Ok, lets be honest. We all know this isn't the New York Times. We know exactly what this is when we are buying it. I am guilty of grabbing it in the grocery store aisle whenever I see it.  What can I say there is something fascinating about seeing stars in their so called "Real lives". I often finish an issue feeling really sorry for these poor souls who happened to "slip and fall" into stardom (yes that was sarcasm).

I do however, think there is a line that should not be crossed. I mean if a certain indivual  goes street hopping with no panties and steps out of vehicles like she's attempting a track and field long jump, that's like  mailing the paparazzi an invitation with an R.S.V.P to her goodies.

But when it starts becoming evident that this ahem individual is obviously suffering from something way more profound than a lapse in judgment , this is where it should stop.

I have to say that US Weekly does seem be the least sleazy of of the other tabloid magazines. I mean it seems as though the stories printed in US Weekly are more likely to pan out as being actual events. Unlike the others that seem to be 100 page rumor mills.

The bottom line is shame on the paparazzi, but most of all shame on the people (myself included) who buy this.  I mean reading about someone elses agony while sipping a diet coke in the parking lot waiting to pick the kids up from school is way more shamless than some celebrity picking her thier nose in the rear view mirror.
