I like celebrity gossip as much (or more) than the next person, but I rarely buy any magazines to get a fix. I watch shit like E! News or whatnot for that. People Magazine sent me a card saying I could receive six free copies as a Christmas gift so I accepted.
What KILLS me is the people who take the time to write a letter to the editor either praising or arguing about certain articles or celebrities. Every magazine, even TV Guide, has their “Mail Bag” or whatever, and they print some of the letters.
Joan K. in Baltimore was “moved to tears when she read about the Jonas Brother wedding! How nice to see such a lovely couple begin their new life together!”
Seriously, Joan?? You were moved to TEARS???? Hey, I love weddings, but a) you weren’t THERE, and b) you’re a grown woman and you give a shit about one of the Jonas Brothers?? You MUST be an adult, and likely in your fifties, because there is no one under 30 named Joan.
Teresa S. in Nashville “was having a really bad day until she got home and found her copy of People waiting for her and stared into Patrick Dempsey’s beautiful blue eyes! Thanks for putting him on the cover! I’ll keep this edition forever!”
Yo, Teresa: Friendly piece of advice–alternate hands while you masturbate to Patrick’s picture. Otherwise, one side will be all crumpled and will ruin the integrity of the shot.
David P. in Orlando wrote, “Betty White proved that she is still classier than any of the young Hollywood starlets at the SAG awards. These young women should take a lesson from a real lady. Even at 80-plus years old she is still beautiful.”
David: I am guessing you do a mean Betty White at the drag shows.
Damn, and I thought dicking around on KCL was a waste of time.
