So I did my grocery shopping on Saturday and, as one is wont to do while waiting in the checkout line, glanced at those stupid fake gossip mags displayed by the counter. And I spotted THIS GEM!!!
I laughed SO HARD at how they photoshopped Ellen and Portia as makeup-free and wearing those gawdawful plaid men's shirts buttoned right up to the neck like classic diesel dykes! Plus, did they give Ellen an Adam's apple? STILL not butch enough to keep Portia from leaving her for a REAL man though! (Which we all know is every lesbian's WORST NIGHTMARE, of course!)
Talk about playing to homophobic stereotypes, LOL! And OUTDATED stereotypes to boot. If that whole ridiculous cover doesn't deserve a Judge Judy eyeroll, well, I don't know what DOES.
i just thought they were visiting canada and dressing like the locals.
ReplyDeleteSo have they split up?
ReplyDeleteThe plaid checked shirts done up to the neck are really in fashion. I like em. :D
such garbage! and I know some gay guys that eat this shit up as truth. waste of money AND paper!
ReplyDeleteThose magazines are ridiculous. Not even laughable!
ReplyDeleteWait those things are fake? Lesbians really don't wear plaid all day every day? This has been an enlightening day.
ReplyDeleteI'll be giggling all day ........
ReplyDelete@ jaz@octoberfarm -- oh that's cold, baby, ICE COLD.
ReplyDelete@ LL Cool Joe -- no, they haven't split up. Ellen says if they do, she'll announce it on her show so no need to waste money buying those gossip mags.
With a couples of buttons open, I actually like plaid shirts :)
ReplyDeleteI saw that same magazine while in the grocery store line. I try not to look at any of those covers, but the man behind me was complaining that they don't have the fun covers about aliens and such anymore. I said, "Well there's plenty to look at here, I guess." Nonsense that it is.
ReplyDeleteoooh myyyy!
ReplyDeleteI was reading all the lies on that rag. OMG! Soooooo funny. I love the Judge Judy eye roll.
ReplyDeletethey also say down there that Tom is using Taylor??? He's using that flimsy lil' tart who would use everything that can be used, misused and then thrown away? Oh, sweet Bejesus, please throw a rock and be precise (you can strike Beyobiatch too and her gangsta pimp)....
ReplyDeleteLOL I get a kick out of scanning the headlines and photos in the checkout line! It's so ridiculously funny! I do have one flannel MacBeath tartan shirt, but I wear it over something else when I'm writing in my study on cold winter days ~ never bottomed though. I have to be able to bail it fast if I have a hot flash!
ReplyDeleteOh brother...I remember these stereotypes when I was young, but growing up I learned how ridiculous they were. Guess someone didn't tell People magazine!
ReplyDeleteTotal stereotype! Portia and Ellen have been going through their breakup for years now. The tabloids are entertaining.
ReplyDeleteApparently enough people buy those gossip sheets of dead trees. Today with the social media you can get much more gossip and pictures quicker. Of course you get much more fake/false info too. I realize many people are into fake. I don't know much of anything about Portia but I respect Ellen. She is a great person.
ReplyDeleteIf you had even bothered reading to page 18, you would see that Portia is an alien who's part of a government conspiracy to keep Tupac (who's not dead) out of the public eye... which, in my opinion, is the REAL story, here.
ReplyDeleteAh, Star Magazine... high quality journalism at its finest.
They don't put those magazines by the register here anymore. As a matter of fact, the three supermarkets I shop at don't even sell magazines. Pathmark did before they went bankrupt. Used to enjoy the magazine racks by the register. Kept me busy while I waited in line.
ReplyDeleteMary
And here I was ready to corner the market on plaid fashion!
ReplyDeleteI really hate those magazines.
ReplyDeleteComics!
ReplyDeleteI just saw a bit where she trolled the article. I can't believe the people who believe garbage magazines like that
ReplyDeleteHa! That is funny - I have never seen Ellen dress so poorly!
ReplyDeleteOy, stories about their supposed break-up have been going on for months. I mean, err, a friend told me. I'd never follow that kinda trash.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm straight. But if I was with either of them, even dressed like that, I'd never leave her side. Imagine how entertaining it would be to be with Ellen, and how mesmerizing to be with Portia. In fact, I wonder how they'd feel about a threesome...?
Adding you to my must read list. How have I missed you? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteSizzling, scorching hotness right there! Those plaid shirts really rev my engine!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though? Portia would get more than 330M. California is a community property state.
The Beard resurfaces from his post surgical painkiller haze....
ReplyDeleteThis would have easily been one of those pain killer induced wired dreams...
omfg
ReplyDeletenow is this the lady she married a couple yrs ago.? I thought they were really happy but....guess not
ReplyDeleteI know those tabloids are trash and I just LOVE them...if I give in and buy one, I have to hide it before our youngest grandgirl comes over..she shames me every time she finds one....lol
Who stays up at night thinking up all that crap??I like plaid shirts in the fall as long as they aren't flannel...Judge Judy is a hoot!!
ReplyDeleteTrump said he gets all his news from The Enquirer and the shows.
ReplyDeletethe Ol'Buzzard
The covers of those magazines are the highlight of every grocery shopping trip. I need to up my game though, I would've missed Ellen's Adam's apple.
ReplyDeleteSuch mags are time pass of so many and I used to be one of them in my youth ,later I realized that this way time is Passing me away like a wastage I decided to walk along time by using it in a positive and useful manner
ReplyDeleteSuch crap. Really.
ReplyDeleteSee, there's a reason I don't bother looking at the magazines. *shrugs* Silly, silly people.
ReplyDeleteOh my... now I know why I don't buy these mags. After living in locations where these things weren't available I can now be thankful. I must have saved a fortune! I wonder what I spent the money on? :/
ReplyDeleteI saw this one!!! I can't believe that these magazines are still being made!!! Love that Judge Judy eye roll! LOL! I want to take that kitty home!!
ReplyDeleteGood lord.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Debra,
ReplyDeleteWe now get to see Ellen on our TV over here. I don't like outdated stereotypes either. Tell Judge Judy to meet Judge Rinder. If you Google, "Judge Rinder", you'll see what I mean.
Pawsitive wishes, eh,
Penny!
Stupids gonna stupid.
ReplyDeleteSo buying a lesbian a plaid shirt is not good manners? Well that ruins all my Christmas shopping for me.
ReplyDeletePlaid is my favorite color and I've always loved Ellen. My stepmother used to read those "magazines" which was always embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. What is with that Adam's apple? Or, for those who watch Friends, a Joey's apple? Either way, horrible job.
ReplyDeleteSadly, decades ago, I used to think those headlines were true (hey, if it's in print, it must be true, eh?).
ReplyDeleteFather Nature's Corner
I am so out of touch with lesbian stereotyping, but the plaid shirts feel like a Halloween or Rockabilly themed event..?
ReplyDeleteNobody dumps Ellen! NOBODY!
ReplyDeleteOk I snorted when I saw this post, because, when we first moved up north here to MN, one of our best neighbors was a really tall 6'2" lesbian gal and in the winter, she DID indeed wear plaid and the Elmer Fudd hat (ear flaps down)!! She was a hoot though, and a fun neighbor!
