So, if you’re a voracious truth-seeker like me, you look left and right, slip an issue under some Rolaids and The Economist (if the cover topic features a mushroom cloud, or is otherwise weighty enough to counterbalance “Get Janet Jackson’s fab abs!”) and off you go. Real fans will take a dignity deduction if it means touching the face of pure truth, or at least something close to it.
Seriously, who the fuck is ashamed of buying a tabloid? How uptight is this bitch?

But in these days when even the New York Times has its share of scandals, who are we to split hairs over the occasional exaggeration?
Well, she has a point here. The mainstream media is not as far apart from the tabs as it would have us believe.

Take Miss Ashlee Simpson, for example. She’s been laughing off questions about her apparent nose job and offering coy “maybes.” Ashlee, no. You’re from the Simpson camp, and the Simpson camp can do better. If you’re not going to admit that your old nose sits in a jar in Dr. 90210’s office, at least pay me the small respect of spinning an outrageous tale. Chalk it up to 21 years of bad lighting, or even acid reflux.
The perfect excuse for that would have been to say that she got it done during an operation to improve her voice.
