The tabs: No Men Allowed, because no one really cares!

I just think that the cliental for tabloids is not interested in hearing about male celebrities in the wrong. Proportionally, more women are in the spotlight for doing things. The majority of people buying tabloids are females. Females are interested in learning the faults of other women, especially those in “superior” or successful positions like actresses. It makes the reader feel better when they here about a female celebrity plummeting out of control to the bottom. It goes back to the feeling of the celebrity being up on a pedestal. Average working woman feel inferior. So when that star falls, it makes them feel more as an equal. People get joy from other’s heartache or pain!(Human Nature, sorry!)




Look at Brittany Spears. Started off as a huge pop icon and within a month lost her kids, and underwent a messy divorce. Now if you think your life sucked as a single mother or a regular ‘Joe’ . Many female actress fall into this category. Lindsay Lohan, talk about a train wreck! This coked out “celeb” has pretty well hit rock bottom, I don’t know about you but I sure feel better!

So when, JAIME J. WEINMAN asks if there is a double standard in celebrity gossip? If not, why do gossip publications mostly go after women? I think this is simply not true. How many weeks did we here about Camer’s racist “routine” at the New York Comedy Club? What about Mel Gibson’s Jewish remarks? It was all over the place and how he was portrayed.
