Sure, I may roll my eyes while in line at the grocery store, but as soon as I get to the gym I run over to the magazine rack and steal at least four copies of People for the elliptical. And I'm betting I'm not the only one with TMZ in my "Favorites" bar.

My aha moment occurred three weeks ago at Fitness Forever. Under celebrity quips of the day, Katie Holmes was quoted about her apparel choices: "Many times, I'll be getting ready for an event and I'll ask her (Suri, age 4) what she thinks. She goes, 'Definitely those,' and she won't let me leave unless I'm wearing what she wants me to wear. She has great taste and I want to make her happy!"
