Gossip Mags and Relating To Celebs

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a big fan of gossip magazines like US Weekly and InTouch.  The section that I always turn to first are usually called something like "In Touch with their real sides," or "They're just like us."  They have pictures of celebrities doing regular things that are supposed to make us feel like they are regular people.  You know like eating a donut, grocery shopping or even untangling the cords to their iPods.

 
I don't know about you guys, but seeing that Reese Witherspoon has once had a Starbucks coffee doesn't really make me feel connected to her.  How about a shot of Reese's face when she realizes that she's had her underwear on inside out all day?  Maybe one of Kate Winslet buying four slices of pizza to cope with her emotions through food?  Or a picture of Sienna Miller waking up on a Saturday morning with whiplash, one earring on and dirt all over her pants.

 

Now that will make me feel like celebs are one of my peeps.
