This week Star magazine decided they would publicize Queen Latifah’s struggle with weight loss. Miraculously, Star magazine was able to determine Queen Latifah’s weight quoting her to “tip the scale at just over 200 pounds”. Who gives them the right to judge anyone?

Weight loss is a struggle that many people are faced with and in no way is it the place of the media to publicly scrutinize celebrities for being “normal” and having troubling keeping on track with their diets. The article uses verbs such as “scarfing” to describe her eating habits and says that her “willpower must not be too good”.

There complete disregard for people’s feelings is absolutely appalling. I believe that the media is to blame for the weight obsession of both celebrities and common people. There is such a “demand” to be thin these days and the media seem to be at fault.

Congratulations to all you judgmental tabloid folk … you must have some deeply rooted complexes that cause you to focus on the flaws of others.

Possible Celeb Pregnancy stirs up gossip


Katie Holmes makes the cover of the March 10. edition of OK! Magazine with accusations blasted across the page leading reader to believe she is pregnant. For some reason pregnant celebrities seem to be very newsworthy; what I don’t understand is why is it necessary to speculate before they admit it.

This week Katie is the target and there are persuasive statements accompanying a photograph that suggest that “TOMKAT” will be have a new addition to their family. I just don’t understand why the magazines need to jump to conclusions without sound evidence. I understand when they feel the need to spread the gossip of unmarried celebs. who get pregnant, but why is it a big deal if Katie and Tom are having an other child? Yes, people love to hear these stories, but I just think the assumptions can stop and the magazines can wait for some solid proof.

God forbid she isn’t pregnant and was bloated for a day, right? Cause I suppose that just doesn’t happen to celebrities now does it.

Jamie Lynn makes an other cover


Oh boy, Jamie Lynn makes yet an other tabloid cover. Isn't anyone else tired of the drama that surrounds the pregnant 16-year-old sister of Britney Spears? According to the cover of the March 3 edition of the National Enquirer Jamie Lynn says Casey Aldridge is NOT the baby's father. The story goes on to explain that the Jamie Lynn and Casey got into an argument where, in a fit or rage she screamed at him saying, "You're not the father of my baby."

Who knows how the magazine got this direct quote seeing that the argument occurred in the privacy of Jamie Lynn's home, but none-the-less after speaking with Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline Casey has decided he will demand a paternity test after the birth of Jamie Lynn's baby. This gives me an idea; how about until the test results come out leave the two "kids" alone and find some other story to entertain the masses. It might just be me, but I think I'm getting a little sick of the Spears family drama.
