Guilty pleasure

After catching a certain someone watching Gilmore Girls in his room (he finished the entire series of One Tree Hill last semester) I got to wondering: what's you guilty trashy pleasure? Tv, movies, books, Britney Spears, Who Weekly magazine - what's the one thing that you love to read/watch/listen to that you would be mortified to admit to anyone?

I'll go first, because otherwise I think my chances of success in getting anyone else to participate would be pretty low. Tv wise, I've always had a soft spot for America's Next Top Model, mostly because I love hearing Tyra Banks describe anything and everything as "fierce", and because the sheer lunacy of Janice Dickinson and Miss J (the male runway coach who inexplicably always wears a mini skirt and high-heels) is incredibly entertaining. I tried to get into the Australian version, but it just wasn't the same, possibly because of the high skank factor.

I also love a good Who Weekly, but mostly because the crossword is good, so I don't think that really counts. But if we're talking about embarrassing reading material, I'm sure my collection of Star Trek books would certainly qualify. Yes, I read Star Trek books and I'm proud!

So tell me people: what's your guilty trashy pleasure?

That's right! Watching Gilmore Girls should not be my guilty pleasure, it is educational in the ways of nerdy, rich American girls in Connecticut.

What else to I enjoy guiltily?
One Tree Hill, of course... it's so trashy it hurts.
I used to watch Dawson's Creek every now and again.
Is chocolate a guilty pleasure?
Gossiping... that's bound to be a guilty pleasure, especially wholly unnecessary and fallacious gossiping.

And you just didn't reveal Next Top Model, you outted me, *bitch with hand movement*
