celebrity magazines get more ridiculouser

I see this new magazine, or what I guess is a new magazine, “Hollywood Teen”, devoted I guess to young HOT 17 and 18 and 19 (or 20, 21, 22 in that role) something Hollywood stars, cover with some actors and actresses or other with the blurb “So Young.  So Rich.  So Famous.”

This sub-dividing is, I guess, the equivalent of the various Dog Magazines you’d be amazed to see exist.  (Hollywood Dog is one.)  Or it might be a product of a side-line of magazines like “Cosmo Teen” or the not terribly successful “Men’s Vogue”.

Though most magazines and tabloids on Hollywood vaguries tend toward the young and pretty, I guess this one skips the market that’d be grabbed by an article on Paul Harvey’s Final Message.  (Which I don’t think is published, but probably should be.  This is a particular of story, aimed at an older demographic.)

In the coming years “Hollywood Teen” will cover National Enquirer’s ground and report on “best” and “worst” “Beach Bodies”.  They converge wildly in my mind, even the self-conciously tawdry and self-conciously gushing.
