The other day me my fiance and son was at walmart and I happened to glance at a tabloid and there was a story about john f kenedy still being alive they just had him hid somewhere and there was also a story about a cat that saved a mans life and it quoted saying the cat used up one of it's 9 lives and I was wondering what are we supposed to beleive anymore and if they are true or not what is youre opinon about it?

I cannot help it. I always find myself reading them. THe other day I found out that Oprah was dating Obama and having his love child. They found a new vampire diary in Transylvania. Oh and by the way the tabloids in Espanol are muy interesante. Lindsay Lohan como juevos con gresoso zapatos con pece. I just made the Lindsay Lohan part up.

That JFK story has been circulating from time to time almost as much as the Elvis sightings have been! I don't look at them unless I have to. I more prefer looking at the Archie comics front page. Tabloids are so stupid, I mean all we hear is who's sleeping with whom, who is divorcing whom and why, who lost a ton of weight and you can to, and Oprah's feats of majesty and the celebs and all their great and wonderful things they do for other countries, while cheating on their partner back in the USA. To call it trash is more of a compliment than tabloids deserve to be associated with!

I usually read the front covers of all the magazines as I'm waiting in line. I think that its hard to know what is true and what isn't. And sometimes it is true but celebrities will deny it for as long as possible. A lot of that people deny. Like Dr Phil and his wife breaking up. He was joking about that on his show the other day. And rachel ray and her husband splitting up. She has said that isn't true but I don't know if it is or not.

I glance at them everytime I go through the checkout, and sometimes I actually pick one up. They are good for a laugh or two, because many of the stories aren't real. Like for the longest they were saying that Dr. Phil and his wife were getting a divorce. I feel they just wanted to pick with him because they were bored with Oprah for the moment. But there have actually been stories of cats saving people's lives before, and not just in tabloids either. A lot of the stories are bull, but there are some true stories in there. I say its not worth reading for all the bull in there, I don't want to expend brain power trying to figure out which story is true. I say buy a real paper or watch the news.

When in the grocery I may take a quick glance at the Tabloids just to keep up with the newest news. Do I believe any of it? Not in the least but at least in the few seconds that I am in line I can see: where Elvis lives now, that space aliens can read my thoughts even with my tinfoil hat, that a mouse has world domination plans etc. Will the junk news industry go away anytime soon? Not likely. I don't understand the fascination of these gossip rags and probably never will.
