"One of the reasons I wanted to come back is I got sick of seeing really ugly pictures of myself in the tabloids. I got to the point where I`d look in the mirror and say, Where`d she go? Because she`s still in there.` I knew she was still in there (she laughs) and it didn`t take much to get her out."
- Linda Evangelista(On the dangers of too-early celebrity) I`ve been lucky enough that most of my big falls have been missed by the tabloids. And I think the other people have not been so lucky. It`s a tricky thing, and not necessarily a positive thing,that young people are working and seeking this kind of attention. Getting this sort of attention changes them.
- Natalie Portman(on the celebrity women the tabloids falsely link him to) Sometimes it`s Britney Spears, and sometimes it`s Carrie Fisher. I can`t tell if I have a Lolita complex or an Oedipus complex.
- Ben AffleckI`ve finally learnt how to say, "No comment". To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.
- Ben Affleck"If Carson was an actor, he`d understand why I have to be away on sets and that if I have to kiss another guy in a movie, I do it. He`d read the tabloids that I was with Ashton Kutcher, but that was a bunch of bull. Then, I started reading he was with a stripper, and that wasn`t true. You start tripping on each other for no reason. It makes you crazy." - about part of why she and ex-fiancéé MTV VJ Carson Daly split up.
- Tara ReidAs long as people keep buying tabloids, they`ll keep harassing people in the public eye. They`ll make up stories.
- Scarlett JohanssonI think people read the tabloids because they want to see you eating a burger, or out of your makeup or doing something stupid because they just want to see that you`re like everyone else. And that`s OK. I don`t want to catch myself anymore saying that my life is hard, because the good far outweighs the bad in my life. And it`s easier to focus on those things, on the things that are important.
- Leonardo DiCaprioYou know criticism when you get into this business. You accept the bad with the good, the tabloids and the positive side of it.
- Carmen ElectraIf you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don`t, they won`t. There`s not much to write about me in the tabloids.
- Cillian MurphyWell, honestly, both my husband and I tend to ignore the tabloids. We see them every once in awhile or it comes to our attention that we are in a tabloid for one reason or another. But it`s always false.
- Connie ChungI don`t buy the tabloids, but you`re surrounded by it all and people tell you things they`ve read. I`d be sitting on a train looking over someone`s shoulder and thinking: That`s familiar... oh my God, it`s me.
- Francesca AnnisI don`t think the tabloids find me very interesting.
- Glenn CloseI don`t seek to be in the tabloids but I suppose sometimes I go out and I`m wearing something and they take a picture and it`s in.
- Joan CollinsUsually, about 85 percent of what the tabloids report is a lie. Over the last year, I can truly say it has been 99 percent.
- Kirstie AlleyI have a hotline to the tabloids. When I get up in the morning, I call the Star, and the last thing at night, I call them. I want them to have the inside track.
- Kirstie AlleyI really went back through a lot of the dark corridors of my life in this. I wanted people to know who I am based on my music, not on what they read in the tabloids.
- Lisa Marie PresleyI guess I came to terms with my demons. Or else I`d be in big trouble, wouldn`t I? Horrifying as it was to crack up in the public eye, it made me look at myself and fix it. People were exploitative; that`s human nature. I`ll tell you, being pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst. But you take the cards you`re dealt, and I got better. I`m now ferociously healthy in body and mind. You couldn`t pay me to go near a psychiatrist again. Stopping seeing them was my first step to getting well.
- Margot KidderBeing pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst.
- Margot KidderI think most people are aware of the garbage in the tabloids and don`t give them a lot of credence.
- Nancy SinatraI like to sneak in under the radar. I don`t have any paparazzi following me or have to deal with that stuff. I`m never in the tabloids. I prefer that.
- Rob SchneiderIf Carson was an actor, he`d understand why I have to be away on sets and that if I have to kiss another guy in a movie, I do it. He`d read the tabloids that I was with Ashton Kutcher, but that was a bunch of bull. Then, I started reading he was with a stripper, and that wasn`t true. You start tripping on each other for no reason. It makes you crazy. - about part of why she and ex-fiancéé MTV VJ Carson Daly split up.
- Tara ReidI think people in the entertainment field have no privacy. All the tabloids want to see is a person fail at something.
- Tiffani ThiessenWell, I`ve had my fair share in Britain of battling the tabloids.
- Elton JohnI never talk to tabloids.
- Robert WagnerNo charges have been filed by the L.A. district attorney`s office, and for that I am appreciative. I have said it before, but we all make mistakes, and the day will come soon enough where you no longer read of mine in the tabloids.
- Scott StappIn a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole`s case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours.
- Mary HartTabloids pick on people who are rich or famous or beautiful. She`s all three, so this was the perfect storm for Kate.
- Michael GrossI don`t think Amber taped Scott or testified for money, but the opportunity certainly presented itself. It makes me a bit uncomfortable, but at least she never sold the story before trial to the tabloids.
- Catherine CrierHe mistrusts anyone who reads past the sports pages of the tabloids
- Ann BonhamI stay away from the tabloids. I’m not going to talk about Lindsay because she’s my friend, you know? She’s great. She’s also 22 years old. I think people forget that. With the Internet the way it is, one second we’re enemies, one second we’re best friends, one second we’re lovers, and then we’re broken up.
- Samantha Ronson
