quotations about tabloids
In the garden of tabloid delight, there is always a clean towel and another song.
LEWIS H. LAPHAM
Waiting for the Barbarians
I make it a point not to buy certain magazines, not because I am against tabloids or things like that, but I want to fill my mind with valid issues in the world. I'd like there to be less refugees. I'd like all girls to go to school. That's what we need to be thinking about, and working on making our own families good and strong and our own kids happy. Not to cloud our minds with things that don't matter.

If the tabloids are true what are you?

If the Tabloids Are True What Are You?
The tabloids may turn history into what Barthes has described as myth, connecting it to the present in a highly significant and politically charged way.

Tabloid Britain: Constructing a Community Through Language
With such a large array of information available to people, the conservative British tabloids are now the equivalent of an aul fella shouting in the corner of a pub.

Tabloids are my guilty pleasure because I could be doing so much more with my time.

Right now, the tabloids are saying I'm pregnant, and they're naming the baby. It's hilarious.

And the worst part is, in terms of what people see of me, I have become this girl who just loves to be photographed, doesn't know how to focus, doesn't know how to work on set, just loves the attention, knows how to go out at night, knows how to party. And you know what? I was 20 years old. I never went to college. And I lived maybe six months out of my life like that, doing something wrong, and then I stopped. God forbid I should have ever learned my lesson. But at this point it's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong. All these people think I'm never going to be right, because it's more interesting to fabricate this other girl. Who wants to read a tabloid story about a girl who is doing well?

I've finally learnt how to say, 'No comment'. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.
