Tabloid Power

God bless the gossip rags, those purveyors of all news related to Britney Spears, Brangelina and Janice Dickinson's living room. In fact, all those delightfully trashy tabloids are taking over magazine racks everywhere as people's lust for celebrity news overtakes their interest in, well, just about everything else. Now, not only do these bastions of literature have the power to reveal the truth behind the stars, they also apparently wield enough power to cause trendy boutiques to slowly go out of business.

Kitson's, a fun if slightly ridiculous shop on Robertson Blvd, is suing US Weekly because the magazine's refusal to name drop the store is costing owners upwards of $10K per week. While tabloids may be taking the world by storm, it's possible that Kitson's may be giving the rag a little too much credit. Last time I checked, Hollywood was just as ruled by fads and trends as anywhere (probably even more so), and maybe it's possible that people just got over the Kitson's kitsch. Or maybe US Weekly really can run shops into the ground. Scary.
