There most definitely is a double standard when it comes to the tabloids and gossip. Women unquestionably get most of the attention.
Why, you ask? Women are the ones that actually care about what ‘famous’ people do with their lives. As a male, I really don’t care if Jennifer Aniston got a new haircut or if Lindsay Lohan is going to rehab for her 12th time. I don’t even care if they’re talking about a guy: if Owen Wilson tried to commit suicide again, I would feel sorry for him, but I wouldn’t want to keep reading it in the tabloids over and over.
Famous males are kind of expected to mess up and party. The one thing tabloid people look for in a guy that could cause any sort of controversy is a sexist/racist remark. Why does this happen? Because females want to hear and see about what happens to other females. I guess they want to see that these pretty, rich girls are just as capable to screw up as they are. Who knows?
All I know is, people, whether they are male or female, should be much more concerned with what’s going on with their own lives than other people messing up theirs. Women can keep watching and reading their tabloids, but I’ll take my Monday night football over that anyday. This young girl obviously thinks otherwise:

Excellent remarks my friend, I feel exactly the same way.
Men don't get as much or any attention in tabloids because female readers don't care about them! Imagine reading a Mens Health magazine and all the articles were about women instead of male sports icons or actors or even famous businessmen. You would be outraged.
The same rule applies for the tabloids that women read. They want to hear about what their female icons are doing.
I like that last bit about how people should focus more on their own lives than what others are doing. Nice work
