In Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholic to the Stars," there is a humorous take on the absurdities of tabloid journalism. The protagonist comments on how ridiculous and trivial the details reported by gossip sites can be, highlighting an incident where a figure named Becky is said to have consumed cocktails before an argument. This exaggeration illustrates the lengths to which tabloids go to sensationalize ordinary events.

The protagonist's frustration is palpable as she reflects on how such mundane details are reported as significant news. She sarcastically suggests that even the most trivial activities, like visiting the bathroom, may soon be headline news, reinforcing her point about the impracticality and over-the-top nature of such gossip reporting.
