    Oh. I just gave up my US Weekly subscription after four guilty years. I miss it. Although, I don’t. Especially for the verbage you mentioned. You can only read about celebrities snapping up designer clothes and “secretly” canoodling at Starbucks and rocking their new ballet flats so much before it gets old. Yeah, yeah they buy toilet paper and their hair gets wind blown. Big deal.

    I’m with you on this one.

    I agree. I hate the “snapped up” one and canoodling is totally stupid. I hope they read your post and quit being so predictable and stooopid.

    I hate hate hate when they refer to a pregnant woman’s growing stomach as a “bump”

    I also hate hearing about celebrity gifting suites. Especially when shitty “celebrities”, like Perez Hilton get in.

    Also sick of: Kim kardashian’s ass. And the rest of her, too.

    LOL too funny, I have tried to stay away from US weekly although I sometimes succumb to the wiles of People magazine. But it sounds like US weekly people need to invest in a thesaurus!

    Omaha Mama– I was TOTALLY going to let my subscription lapse this year, since even Fashion Police wasn’t doing it for me anymore. Then they had a couple of really good issues in a row and my resolve is what lapsed instead. People Magazine just doesn’t satisfy my need to see celebrities without makeup.

    Katie and Type(little)a– I agree, “bump” is dumb, especially with the arrows–ha ha ha! Like maybe otherwise we wouldn’t know where to look!

    Misty– I agree. I think the writers have a problem with eating, since no one can eat anything or gain anything without getting a gross verb assigned to it (even pregnancy weight is “packed on”). Also, I think “splurged” sounds gross even though the meaning is non-gross.
