Of course, this is coming from us, and we secretly indulge in Paula Abdul's singing career, fan fiction and “Pimp My Ride,” so take that at face value.

We shared our guilty pleasures, and our readers shared some of theirs. And we have to confess that we like a lot of these things too:

My guilty pleasure is dollar stores. Jigsaw puzzles, aluminum foil, Tupperware, shower curtains, picture frames, Mylar balloons, carpet deodorizer, dish soap, tortillas even get keys made all for $1! How does this place stay in business? Why go to Target and spend $1.99 for some hair scrunchies when you can buy a pack of 5 for $1. —Margie, Houston, Tex.

My guilty pleasure is 98 Degrees. No one listens to the so-called "boy-bands" anymore, in fact, they're viewed as an embarrassment. I listen to them because it reminds me of happier days when I was younger and out of touch with what reality really is! —Natasha, West Virginia

This is not easy, because there are so many guilty pleasures out there, but when Goldie Hawn finds independence from her smarmy French husband in "Private Benjamin," and punches him out at the altar, I feel empowered, and when Elizabeth Shue's "Babysitter" in "Adventures in Babysitting" kisses her fella at the end of the film to the tune of "...And He Kissed Me," I am happy for the rest of the day. Neither film is "The English Patient," but hey ... —Chris

I enjoy watching Airline on A&E. The show mainly deals with disgruntled passengers. It appears that Southwest has more drunks turned away than any other airline. The best segments are the irate customers who complain when they miss their flights. Agent: "Sir the plane has already left. Your flight was at 8:40" Passenger: "But it's 8:43." "Yes, the plane left at 8:40." "But we are here now and it's 8:43." "Yes sir, the plane left at 8:40." "South West is the worst airline!" etc. —Brian, Westlake, Calif.

As an African American male, born and raised in the inner-city (Newark, NJ) I can promise you that copy of “Dangerous Liaisons” is not on display when my friends come over to watch the game. I know it's a big old period piece/melodrama but the when Glenn Close burst through those doors and starts trashing the room I get choked up every time. —Chad, Newark, N.J.

I have the hugest collection of regency era romance novels imaginable! Yikes. And I am a guy. I identify with the heroes and wish I could meet the women in these novels. Ahhh, Love? Not the bodice rippers but the type your 80 year old granny reads. For shame on me. I've got Judith McNaught, Mary Balogh, Mary Jo Putney and buckets more. I read them over and over. —Ian, Jacksonville, Fla.

“Growing Up Gotti” is my favorite guilty pleasure. I don't honestly know why I like it so much. I was watching A & E last night and saw that the new season starts Monday, and was instantly on the countdown to Monday night! —Jenn, Bethel Park, Pa.

Hanson's “MMM-Bop” for sure. I can't even sing along, except for when they sing "MMM-Bop". But when that catchy tune comes on - I am surely turning it up. That is, if no one's around. —Jessica, Chicago, Ill.
