So I was browsing the latest issue of OK magazine and before too long found myself wondering: Who ARE these people?!
It started off okay – classic celebrity cover with pics of Jen, Elle, Layla from BB2012, RPatz and KStew (see, I am hip and up on the latest terminology ….).
But as I turned the pages, I kept drawing a blank.
Unknown Celebrities in the Magazines
Alessandra Ambrosio? Never heard of her – and why is she famous?
This one looks like a Kardashian but apparently not. Again, I had no clue …
American Werewolf … what? How could I have missed this hottie LOL?!
I ended up coming to the conclusion that not being able to recognise half the celebrities featured is either:
a. Another one of the dreaded Signs of Ageing; or
b. Because I don’t get Foxtel.
I’m going with the second option, of course!
Aroha @ Colours of Sunset says
i am with you. i often pick up mags and have no idea who they are talking about! we don’t have foxtel either! π i have seen another pic of Jen in that dress and “the bump” was not that profound. Makes me wonder about their “editing” I don’t believe any of that crap in magazines!
Janet says
I know – most of it is made up I’m sure!
JodiGibson (@JFGibsonWriter) says
Never heard of any of those either! lol
Janet says
Whew, glad it’s not just me π
Mrs BC says
If you don’t know who the American Werewolf is you are seriously missing out! Start watching True Blood immediately, you can thank me at Pro Blogger. (He isn’t the only naked hottie on that show!)

Janet says
I’ll have to check it out – hope it’s on Free To Air TV though!
Deb @ Home life simplified says
it is worth it and i get it from the video shop!! they can hook you up with all 5 seasons cheap xx
Shari says
Thank God I’m not the only one who has no idea who those folk are or why they are trash-magazine-worthy. But we do have foxtel, so possibly I’m just old. Lol.

Janet says
Yeah it’s weird hey.
Rhianna says
Oh my I have no idea who they are either? Sigh. Though that is nothing new for me, I remember being in high school and not knowing the lead singer of was called Eddie
Janet says
I thought I was hip but apparently not!
Lisa@RandomActsOfZen says
It’s definitely B, love!
That’s why I don’t bother with those rubbish mags any more, I don’t know who half of the people even are!! x
Janet says
I just like looking at what they wear on the red carpet π
The Plumbette says
I have never heard of these people either?! I don’t have Foxtel. It’s definitely not an age thing!
Janet says
I suppose there’s only so many times they can cover the story of Jen’s (phantom) pregnancy … gotta find some new blood!
Tegan says
It’s definitely B. I have no idea who they are either.
Janet says
I wonder if I showed Miss 16 if she’d know who they are? I’ll have to ask her.
kirsten and co. says
It’s definitely because of option B. I know who the bird in the middle is…Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey. She’s what can only be described as a Hot Mess. You’re not missing out on much by not knowing who she is, that’s for sure!
Janet says
Good to know! π
Twitchy says
Oh I’m exactly the same as you… does anyone apart from a handful of us *not* have Foxtel? I’m so not with all the reality shows and 5 minute celebs. You know what, if I *did* have Foxtel, I’d be watching docos and classic movies, not that stuff anyway!
Mumabulous says
Its a sign of having better things to do with your time.
Janet says
I like your thinking!
Deb @ Home life simplified says
i got a free subscription to the digital versions of 2 of the celeb mags from the states and know about half the people – makes for fast browsing (i mostly read it for the fashion sum up at the beginning lol) the baby bump shot has definitely been altered as aroha said – in the trashy mag i have it was a bump but they specifically wrote about how it was from a big meal lol
Janet says
Yes I love the fashion pages most too π
EssentiallyJess says
I’d say option C. I have no desire to worry about the lives of small minded people who are not actually making a difference despite their apparent level of influence.
And also I havent been to the hair dresser for a while so I haven’t read a mag π
Janet says
Yes the hairdresser is definitely the best place to keep up on the trashy mags!
Emily @ Have a laugh on me says
I know the hottie, the last dude cos we download our stuff, it’s the WOLF out of True Blood! But maybe you are getting old – OUCH – that is me feeling the punch you are going to give me the next time you see me for saying that π xxx
Janet says
What station is True Blood on?
iSophie says
I do know the American Werewolf but that is from a HBO series that my friends got me onto. I don’t know the other’s from a bar of soap though! Maybe the real celebrities are just too boring now? #teamIBOT
