Summary

Stars—are they really just like us? Joining Remy and Emily today is special guest Peter Grossman, a former employee of Us Weekly and Rolling Stone and an aficionado of the “Stars—They’re Just Like Us!” column. Peter unpacks that infamous section of the magazine: he shares the original intention, how it came about, and his role in it as a photo editor. The short answer? No, they’re not like you, but for that one moment while they’re photographed at the supermarket, they’re kind of close. Peter tells Remy and Emily about the background of Us Weekly (unsurprisingly, it was run by lots of smart women), and they get into the Photoshopping and editing that happens in magazines, how the skinnier celeb always won the “Who Wore It Best?” section, and how now that everyone can control their own image, do paparazzi need to exist?
