Quote Of The Day

Filed under: Quote of the Day

“The Us Weeklys, the In Touchs, the OK!s try to sell covers off the Kardashians or Ali from The Bachelorette, but they’re never gonna eclipse the sales of true celebrities. I’ll resist it to the day I die. The real celebrities are Oprah, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, John Travolta, Michael Douglas. Real America views these reality-show people as pretenders."

- Barry Levine editor of The National Enquirer to NY Magazine

while I have to agree with him, this is from the editor of the National Enquirer, when have they had a real breaking story that was truthful? Not counting the Clinton sex scandel and Edwards

Re: musicmaker2010 – I hate to admit it too, but the National Enquirer is right. And I thank them for NOT putting on fakers like Kate Gosselin and those Kardashian girls on their covers unless it is to show them for the frauds they are.
.
And yeah, it feels weird.

Wow.. i actually agree with something with Enquirer. I yell at US Weekly all the time when they put reality tv stars. There is no way in hell will i buy a magazine about reality tv stars.

AMEN TO THAT.
About time someone said something. When will people get it that these reality "stars" [Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Gosslins, ect] aren't really stars at all.
