Answers to your questions: Celebrity Edition

Last week in this post I asked if you had any questions for me...mainly so I would get some new blogging ideas.


Anna said: "We have so much in common with our television watching. Before I had children I also read a lot of celebrity trash magazines. I know you do not have children yet. Do you also read celebrity trash gossip, whether on internet or weekly magazines?"

To answer this question I will have to get up on my soapbox at some point...so watch out.

When I first started working I found myself in front of a computer a lot with a lot of time on my hands. Since I didn't really know about blogging I spent a lot of time on US Magazine and People...then Perez Hilton and Celebrity Baby Blog. Celebrities became my hobby and I was always extremely up on what was going on.

I have only bought a weekly magazine once in the past several years...and I still have that historic issue. I can't bring myself to throw it out. And I don't even really like Brad for the whole Jennifer thing...and Angie scares me a little...but as a family I find them adorable and would love to be their nanny. I don't think I am multicultural enough or speak enough languages.

Note the date stamp...proof I still have it.

The time that I got more into reading blogs considered with the "Spendi" and other brats from the Hill's invading the celebrity gossip scene. Out comes the soapbox...these people are not worthy of the title "celebrity" nor do the warrant front page covers of weekly magazines week after week after week. I would rather see a cover about Angelina vrs. Jen for the 600th time or Princess Diana for the 900th then see Heidi crying about Spencer cheating on her, or Lauren Conrad battling with being a size 4. Ugggg. It annoys me.

I backed off because I was too sick of it...so now I keep up with it (although I am sick of this Gosslin nonsense all the time) but I am not as obsessed as I once was.

So Anna, thanks for the question! Everyone else, if you have any other questions just let me know!

My mom still has that magazine too - I swear it's as if they're royalty. ha!

What's your favorite music? best concert you've been to? I dunno, music's always on my mind and always playing in my house so that's my first thought to ask :)

Thanks for answering my question!!!! I feel the same about celebrities as you, these 5 min of fame guys aggrevate me. I really have not bought a mag in years and haven't gone to any of the blog sites in over a year, craziness!!! I just do not have time and now have broken myself of the habit.
