Yeah, I don't get it either. Even the girls I hang out with refer to them as "trash mags", so I don't really understand why they read it.

Probably because it's the thing to do.

What about those celebrities that are famous for being famous!!!! WTF DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE !!!! personally i think that all celebrities/sports stars are over paid and generally annoying!

It's a bit iffy for me. If there's a snippet on a cover of a magazine about a musician (and preferably their music) I really like, I might flip through it while waiting in the checkout line and see what's up. Other than hearing about how so-and-so died, I don't really care.

Yeah, I tire of that kind of crap too. And plenty of people pick up those stupid magazines at the checkout, too, and I know cause I have to bag them. I can't remember if I've ever actually seen someone buy a gaming magazine, or at least something worthwhile, like National Geographic or Reader's Digest. The only thing I can think is that the people who read those magazines have a subscription, and therefore don't need to purchase them at the store.
I really don't get why people give a crap about the "celebrities" that are written about in every magazine. You're really not hearing anything new, its all the same crap about the same people doing the same stupid things. People are weird. >_>

I love the celebrity culture.

It gives us a distinct line between the mindless denzians who're likely to become zombies, and those of us smart enough not to get our asses bitten by stupidity.

I never understood why their lives are any more interesting than the person next door. They have a bigger house and some more cars, maybe, but they're still people. They still do everything we do - They're not special.

Its funny and very entertaining at sometimes...

Some of the stores have the game magazines behind the counter, too, so you actually have to go and ASK for them. Now THAT's annoying

Back to celebrities. I have no idea who current celebrities even ARE. I don't watch TV, don't listen to radio, I usually come across movies and music on the internet. I honestly couldn't care less about their lives, I have my own and it's built around keeping track of when the games I'm looking forward to are going to come out

So I have no idea who reads those magazines and I'm really wondering why does there have to be like 30 thousand of them when they're basically all telling the same thing in different words

It's funny you would bring this up...
Just so happens I save a small portion of my day just for hating all the things celebs do..

*sigh* That's my favorite part of the day.

I have so little interest in celebrities that the closest I get to thinking about them on a monthly basis is seeing those magazines here and there.

I have flicked through them in the past, and if I'm lucky I might recognise one or two (because they are actors). I've lived with people who can name most of them.
