I remember one popular magazine – except I don’t remember WHICH one – had a feature they titled, “Celebrities: They’re Just Like Us!” (maybe it was Us Magazine?) They’d show some famous person walking their dog, with a gigantic caption above it that read, “SUPERSTAR X USES BATHROOM AT AIRPORT: SHE’S JUST LIKE US!” and we were all supposed to feel closer and more loving toward said celebrity because she took a crap, or whatever.
I think there’s a good reason why I don’t read most of the ‘mainstream’ magazines (and the day that Bitch or Bust put that shit in is the day I stop reading magazines altogether).
