Guilty Pleasures

I never buy women's magazines (by which I mean rags like Glamour, Jane, Cosmopolitan, etc.) and I never read them-unless I am at the gym. However, there is one magazine that I regularly purchase for the sole purpose of reading while I work out:
US Magazine.
This must be quite an aberration in my character, because friends are flabbergasted when I mention my love of celebrity gossip. "But you guys don't even have a TV!" they exclaim. (Actually, we do have a TV, but we only use it for watching DVDs.) What am I supposed to read while I am on the elliptical- the Norton Anthology of American Literature? Anyway, just because I've never seen Desperate Housewives doesn't mean I am not interested in the size of Eva Longoria's waist (24 inches, for all you aspiring anorexics out there. ) Sure,Kenny Chesney is just some hayseed to me, but can you believe that his marriage to Renee Zellwegger was over so quickly??? I don't know any Brittney Spears' songs either, and yet I am fascinated by this thing with her and Kevin Federline.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! In the words of Julianna Marguiles, "don't eat too much, but eat everything you want!"

You have to do something out of character for yourself from time to time. It makes people more interesting when they are unpredictable, don't you think?
