Is it wrong for me to enjoy reading People magazine?
Normally, yes. my intelligence quotient won't permit it.

However, this was the perennial "worst dressed celebrity" issue, I just had to look.

One Versace dress was nice, as was another from another posh and equally gay guy.

But the others? It was bloody obvious they were deliberately designed to look like expensive trailer park outfits. Paris Hilton wore one of them too...

The dresses were bad enough (who'd pay them to design those wastes of polyester anyway?)... but OTOH, the sardonic comments captioning the picture more than made up for it.

They had a section on good outfits; but half of those were just as tacky too. (apart from the cool purple/blue Versace design... for a ghost, he's damn good... and that gorgeous green get-up from the other one...)

2. NO -- enjoy your small pleasures
I frankly enjoy the Enquirer and I refuse to apologize for my lust for entertainment! (hey--we all need a break from bushit corruption)

4. A simple answer to your question: YES!
Seriously, you ain't really "reading". Those magazines are jam-packed with so many photos these days there ain't no printed words!
