I don't know you so why do I buy magazines about you?

I don't have to buy magazines really since my mother is the magazine buyer and once she buys them and reads them gathers the info she wants out of them then give them to me. I have a whole lot but they are mostly Kraft food,weight watcher,Goodhousekeeping, First and a few others but I love reading about celebrity lives, I don't know why I am so intrigued about it I just am. Maybe because sometimes it lets us have a glimpse of something normal about them after we have built them up in our heads.

Hey p1ke! I'm with you on this one! No way! I couldn't care less about these people! They have too much money and too much of everything. I don't intend to make them any richer than they already are! I'm not about to buy those stupid magazines too. I will peak in them if I have nothing better to do, but I refuse to buy them! Besides, you can read half of that stuff online anyway if you choose! I used to be interested but I don't even watch tv anymore since I am too busy mylotting! It's like I have given up all my interests just to be here answering discussions and making pennies to help pay my bills! I much rather spend time here with my friends then see what some rich celebrity is doing with their tons of money! It's not like their going to share it with us!

I never buy these magazines.It's bad enough that you're forced to listen to stuff about so-called ceebrities when you're trying to watch the news but paying to find out about them is not for me.

Hi, P1ke. I don't see the appeal in these mags. Besides, if I choose the wrong playgroup to attended every once in a while I get caught up on all the celebrity gossip... so why would I waste my time to read about it?? I do admit to picking up the occassional fashion magazine. Even though I hate seeing the anorexic models I do enjoy seeing what is happening in the fashion world now and then. at myself right now, but I am a women and I do like pretty things. Hee

I buy them occasionally if there's somebody on the cover who is interesting to me. But most of today's celebrities are not.

I don't buy those kind of magazines because i don't really care about celebrity lifestyles and what not. However my best friends is, i swear, addicted to them and she always shares the interesting tidbits with me. I don't mind, but its really not my thing.

Errrm...........think it's just that we're nosey. :)

Nope P1ke I certainly do not to me it is a waste of Money lol I really do not want to know things about People I do not know

No I don't but I am not a women. If I had to buy a magazine it would be a sport mag for sure. Or else something related to my hobbies. © ronaldinu 2008

When I was a teen and wanted to know every move of the Fab Four or my favorite spy (David McCallum) I did buy those kinds of things. These days I'm not so entralled with folks on TV, the movies or the music scene.

It's funny that I should run across this just now. My one and only Squidoo lens is about this very subject. I just added it to my profile in case you ever wanna take a look. I buy them because other people's drama makes mine feel like a piece of cake! I wouldn't say I am fascinated by them though.

I dont really like the gossip magazines...i dont get the point of invading their privacy. I buy cosmo magazine on occasion for the quizzes and the tips...and i buy pc world magazine.

Hi ya p1kef1sh I actually don't ever buy these type of magazines, never have done. I don't really care who is having an affair with who or who has just lost 3 stone ect. Deep down they are normal people and these sort of things happen to lots of people every day.

I have to say my aunt is a fan of some local magazines which feature local celebrities. Well, I do read them because it is fan reading some controversies attached to these celebrities.

no, i dont buy them and come to think ofv it, i dont even look at them at the library! i go to the library to read the magazines i would like to get but cannot afford nor have room to store. the ones i read are mostly about decorating and crafting. as for famous people, i really dont care who is pregnant, who is dating whom and whatnot. what does that have to do with me?

I belong to a survey site that only offer magazine subscriptions so I do surveys, rake up the points and request whatever I think may be interesting. I've subscribed to the Golf magazine for my hubby and Prevention for me. These were free :) I read people.com online just to be nosey and my friend gave me a years subscription to Oprah magazine as a birthday present. Some articles are interesting to read. My neighbor subscribes to quite a few magazines and when she's done with them she passes them on to me, mostly home type magazines like Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living, etc. I like looking at the pictures mostly lol.

i don't buy any magazines anymore, they are too expensive. since i had to quit work ii don't buy anything much except what i have to have. "people" was my favotite magazine when i was buying. guess it's just nice to see how the rich & famous live. lol

I don't buy those magazines because I think it's a waste of money. I love entertainment news and all gossip though which I check online on blogs. I guess I'm hooked on them even if I don't really know them because when they wear really nice shoes or drive an expensive car or have a really hot boyfriend, it allows me to dream of having those things myself? But I'm not really sure. This is a great question, I'll have to think of why I love gossip...

O I buy them. Everyone likes to see that celebrities with all their money and looks still have problems and many times worse than ours. So sadly it makes us feel good about ourselves that we are better than that person that society has put on a petastool.

The answer is quite simple acutally. Sociey is obsessed with gossip and drama! If you think about it, what do you talk about with your friends, coworkers,and family...I bet it is safe to say that majority of what you talk will revolve around talking about some one else or something that has occurred. Talking about others is what majority of us do, whether the coversations are postive or negative. So by purchasing magazines about celebrities you are getting the gossip about people you do not know personally but people you know of, even if you know of the person from seeing them act in a movie or television series.
