Who's Rachel and why do I care that she weighs 36kg??

During my month long hiatus from the world of gossip mags, I have taken to staring at magazine covers mulling over what draws me to them in the first place.

The title of today's post - taken from a larger-than-life headline last week - makes this point nicely: who the $%&@ is Rachel?? She's a sickly thin blonde woman toting a baby who hardly looks like she could feed herself let alone some offspring.

Another one worth considering was one I saw today with a sad Nicole Richie declaring "The truth about me and Joel"

Does this headline work?? Because we all know - well, should know - that everything in the article will come from a "reliable source" or a "friend-of-a-friend" and be as far from the truth as humanly possible.

How about the front cover of Who advertising it's their "Body Issue" with 5 scantily clad female celebs splashed across the front. Personally semi-naked women don't do it for me, but I know I have purchased this particular issue multiple times.

WHY??

Two days left to the end of this challenge and I am still asking myself that same question.

Oh well, 48 hours to go to find my answer
