Your 15 minutes are up!
 

Working in the grocery store as a cashier as I do, I am forced to have every single gossip rag in my face every night, and later on in the evening I peruse some of them. Some of the indivuduals that are featured in these publications absolutely make me shake my head. So I thought I would start this thread to see who you all would like to see their 15 minutes of fame come to an end. And if some of you can think of people from the past that had their time in the spotlight and quickly faded out, please feel free to post about that too!. Ok I'll go first with my wish for whom I want to dissapear immideately. drumroll please..............................................................





Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag!

You know perusing through magazines where you work is usually considered a form of stealing.

Sorry, most Ledgies ignore the point of a thread to point out grammar. Since I'm no English major and my prefession is also to work in a store, it pisses me off when employees read magazines on the job, especially if not paid for.

Bethenny Frankel. Yeah, she's got a snarky tongue and she's occasionally clever, but her utter lack of humility and her grandiose sense of self really turn me off. Oh, and her "skinny" books are utter garbage that are nothing but incubators for eating disorders and other neuroses bordering on anorexia. She herself is a skeleton with two ginormous fake pontoons bolted onto her chest; why would anyone want to look like that? Her face, despite her wide jawbone, has the tell-tale signs of wasting syndrome; healthy people under the age of 40 do not get that "raisin face" naturally.

Wha.... huh? :shrug: If you're off the clock, why is that any different from any other shopper perusing through magazines at a bookstore? Are they stealing too?

I was assuming he was on the clock.

So, assuming that he was, is that still considered stealing? So if I am at work and I take a short personal phone call, is that also considered stealing? I think every work environment needs to have some tolerance, even small, of these kinds of distractions. People are not robots that work nonstop until the clock runs out.

Well your phone call is not a product for sale. Really when you think about it browsing through a magazine is like taking a bite of an apple and putting it back on the shelf.

And yea I guess if we're getting REAL nitpicky your phone call could be considered stealing time :laugh:

So that means all of these people swilling mocha chai lattes at Barnes and Noble while perusing through books and magazines are also stealing. I think mass arrests should commence apace!

this is insanity. :laugh:

We don't sell magazines but the other girls bring those rags into the canteen. It's either that or 20p newspaper. So, I have two.

Taylor Momsen and Justin Bieber

And the entire twilight cast. They can just fall into a black hole.

Ok, I understand where you're coming from so I'll explain further. I dont sit there for hours on end lookat every single written word in these mags, but after working very hard all night doing various front end cleaning jobs and also working the service counter the last hour of the night is usually very slow, and that is when, if I have the time, I take a few minutes to read some of the more absurd stories.:)

bite your tongue:eek:, i LOVE bethenny!!!~ jill zarin should make the list~ her book should have been titled 'secrets of a jewish asshole', not ' secrets of a jewish mother', unless she wanted to add f&cker behind it:lol:~

heidi & spencer i agree, they are crazy trash~

also lilo, i am so sick of hearing about lindsey hohan~

Pretty much any of the reality TV people. I've never seen a Real Housewives episode, but these women bug me. Oh and definitely The Jersey Shore folks- unbelievable!

Anyone from The Bachelor/The Bachelorette. Really. Going on a dating show on tv shouldn't make you an instant celebrity. I don't recall hours and hours of entertainment footage or photo spreads for anyone who was on Love Connection back in the 80s.

Kate Gosselin - shocker...she changes her hairstyle!!!

Brangelina - If i had a dollar for each time they were splittling up or if Angelina was hiding a baby bump, I'd be living one helluva life.

But having said that, I'd be a hypocrite to say that i don't catch up on my "fluff" as one of my friends calls it, when i'm at a salon or airport or something.

:o i am addicted to these shows, lolol, most of the women may have money but they are messes~
