As you know, the “Stars, they’re just like US” section in my US Weekly is my favorite. Next comes the stories about celeb cover shoots: “Scarlett Johansson munched on grilled chicken and edamame while listening to Mary J. Blige tunes on her iPod.”
But my third favorite is “Loose Talk: what the stars said this week.” It’s quotes and pics of my celebrities, semi-celebrities and reality stars.
For some reason, though, US Weekly feels the need to offer these little explanations under the quotes. For instance, here’s one from a couple of weeks ago:
“Before I found Spencer, I had so much Chaos.” On finding peace in love, Heidi Montag.
Did we really need that “On finding peace in love” addition?
Here’s another:
“Hip-hop will be in a great place because I am back.” On planning to dominate the music genre, Eminem.
Thanks. I think he was pretty clear.
They put a UQE on Beyonce:
“My sister is the Twitter queen. She told me about the Twittering but I don’t get it. I feel like I’m really old. I’m like, What? I don’t understand. Just call me." On trying to bridge the generation gap, Beyonce.
It’s like US thinks we’re stupid or something. I guess some US readers might be. I mean, it’s not the New Yorker but it’s not the Enquirer either. Here’s a quote from me about the whole thing:
“I think US Weekly should take out their UQE and put more ‘Stars they’re just like US’ pictures in there. I love to see celebs pumping gas and picking up dog poop.” On how she would like to see the magazine change, Writinggal.
