When your grandchildren ask you in awe...

... you can look them in the eye and say, "Yes, I was alive when Jade off Big Brother interviewed Chantelle off Big Brother".



EDIT: Many blame the unconscionable and apparently irresistible rise of these magazines entirely on ladies, but come on, there have to be some men out there who admit to reading all about "My Celebrity Rape Hell" and "My 6-Month-Old Baby Abused Me... But I Lost So Much Weight!". It can't be that gender-specific... can it?

*tut* Silly! She didn't question her. She GRILLED her. And then slapped her in a hot-dog bun and ate her.

John Kerry must be disappointed not to be in that issue. I really wanted to find out what he'd been up to with Brian this week.

Does flicking through my friend's copy of More becoming increasingly baffled count?

I was pleased when I remembered that said magazine was where they sent BadDad one week though. I recall him trying to get them to do an opera feature.

I've said in shame before that I am one of the ladies responsible for the success of such magazines. Most of my bloke friends (and brother) appear to read the ones we buy.
We're all nosy, aren't we? And you can be crueller if you don't really know them. People aren't nice.

I bought a copy of Grazia for the first and possibly only time in my life.
I really need to find out who Britain's only all-circumcised boyband is.

Is that a real magazine cover because I now have a desperate urge to read it. Hormones suxx0r.

I sometimes idly flick through whatever is next to the checkout in Sainsbury's, but mostly in dumb shock that people actually buy them.


Ahead of me in the queue last week I saw a chap, farmer-looking type, buying about four of them...Best, Closer, etc, etc,etc...not admitting to knowing anymore titles than that anyway...I wanted to ask them if he read them, or where they were for some fictional, Mrs Bates-eque mummified by celbrity hungry wife...but I just went on with loading my shopping onto the conveyer blet and didn't make eye contact

I think the official demographic is known as 'Stupid ladies buying into a perception of feminine "interests" (as dictated by the mass media) so as to be accepted by a society that intellectualy castrates females.'

It's not as catchy as silly twats though.

Jon actively buys with real money Chat magazine. He claims it is so we can one day win the Book Club pub quiz. He also claims he believes every word in Chat magazine.
