BLACKBOOK MAGAZINE GETS DELICIOUS DIVA JOAN COLLINS TO TAKE OFF THE GLOVES IN SENSATIONAL PHOTO SHOOT AND INTERVIEW IN MAY ISSUE

JOAN COLLINS: MAGS MAKING US DUMB
“Joan Collins says we’re turning into a world of idiots – and she thinks the celebrity magazines are partly to blame. ‘Our civilization has become extremely dumbed down, with shorter attention spans. All they want are sound bites,’ the 75-year-old diva, who famously played super-bitchy Alexis Carrington on Dynasty, tells BlackBook’s Steve Garbarino. ‘The tabloid magazines are the same every week. ‘People’ has the same cover as ‘InTouch’ as ‘OK!’ as ‘Us’, ‘Weekly’ as ‘Star’ magazine. They’re exactly the same! It must be 100 to 120 people you read about all the time.’ But why? ‘They are appealing to a young audience, or a rather dumb audience,’ Collins theorizes. She adds that the magazines ‘go after those girls who exhibit more outrageous behavior. And, believe me, those girls love it. They call in items themselves – that they were at Nobu, some nightclub in SoHo. I can’t think of anything more horrible than that. Publicity can be a drug.’”
