Guilty Pleasures

{Have you entered the Chicnova Giveaway?}

I don't know about you, but I would not categorize myself as one who cares about celebrity news.  Who's dating who, who's wearing what, who showed up where...it's all pretty inconsequential to me.  I've never bought a Star magazine or watched TMZ for more than a few seconds before coming to my senses and changing the channel.  I normally pride myself on my utter ignorance of all things celebrity news...

...Except for sometimes.  Sometimes little ads off to the side of whatever weird site I've been lured into by my Facebook friends having shared its post will call to me.  They usually say something like: 20 Celebrities You Haven't Seen in 20 Years, Celeb Plastic Surgery Before & After (I'm a complete sucker for that one), or Sophia Vergara Eats a Banana (I swear this one's totally real) ...and I...just...can't....resist.

You know this has happened to you.  One minute you're innocently reading What State Do You Belong In?, or Take This Quiz to Discover What Your Animagus Would Be, and the next thing you know, you're sucked into the vortex of Brad Pitt Smiled At Jennifer Aniston Right In Front of Angelina Jolie, The 10 Worst Dressed at the Oscars, or Celeb Plastic Surgery Before & After (again).  So whether you're an out and proud celeb gossip-monger, or are in denial like me, I encourage you to check out TheGossipBlog.com.

I clicked over to the site and was instantly hooked.  In searching through the fashion category, I came across this piece about Nicki Minaj:

Personally, I think she looks about 100,000 times better with her natural hair!  I have to say that I never really thought she was pretty before with her overly blonde hair and bubble gum pink lips, but seeing her like this, I think she's absolutely gorgeous!  Does knowing what Nicki Minaj looks like sans wig, over the top makeup, and a crazy costume improve my life in any way?  Of course not!  But still, I somehow - strangely - feel better for having seen it.  I suppose there's something to be said for indulging in a guilty pleasure from time to time.  And now if you'll excuse me, since we're on the topic, I'm off to go spend a few hours perusing all of her outrageous getups.  But don't tell my boyfriend.  There are just some things between couples that are better left unsaid.
