The devil wears glasses

Bonnie Fuller's hometown paper, the Globe and Mail, lets Gwyneth Paltrow vent about the new tabloid magazines. The complaint: the tabloids encourage paparazzi photographers to capture the stars in mundane activities: zooming around London on a Vespa, for instance. Because, as US Weekly proclaims incessantly, the stars, they're just like us. Of the geeky US Weekly editor, who has since moved to American Media, Paltrow says: "She is the devil... The magazine culture has become insane because of these new weeklies. They just want pictures of people leaving their house, so now they follow you everywhere... the paparazzi are in my face, following me around... It's really poisoned me... In the darkest hour of my life, to be hunted like that, it's been hard for me."
