An Ounce of Celebrity Gossip

The nightmare grocery store lines just became ten times longer as the magazine aisle suddenly disappeared and turned into a health aisle. What a shame! Now the only source for magazines are around the check out areas. Perhaps the magazines were moved in order to stop customers from reading those gossip stories in the store, instead making them buy them, but this clearly did not work. People generally grab a few of those "shocking," but most times untrue, magazines with quotations on them, taking their good old time putting the items they would like to purchase on the shopping belt, just to get every little free ounce of gossip about a celebrity's life that they could skim through in a matter of seconds.

Scandalous quotations entice all kinds of people, both young and old, rich and poor, intelligent and foolish, and even both men and women. It is the most popular way to lure the customers in the check out line into buying magazines. Who would not want to know the latest news about a drama filled celebrity, when one's own life seems to be so dull and boring? This is the general feeling for a majority of society as their lives seem to be so tedious when compared to the unrealistic lives celebrities are portrayed to live in most magazines. A recent copy of Star magazine informs readers that " Nicole's Baby [is] in Danger!" OK! magazine quotes Victoria Beckham saying "I wanted out, I just couldn't take it anymore." InTouch asks readers "Is Angela Pregnant Already?" National Examiner uses the catchy phrase "Busted! Oprah Drunk Driving Shocker," to get Oprah fans and haters eager to know the scoop about what really happened.
