We all have them!
Mine:
- Ugly Betty. It's technically a show that has everything I despise: A melodramatic, overblown plot. But I love it... probably because, much like a lot of the characters, there's a lot of heart underneath the melodrama.
- Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I love those books, even though they're for fourteen year olds and I'm in my twenties. They seem so wrong next to books like To Kill A Mockingbird and The Lovely Bones, but there they are.
- The music from Legally Blonde, The Musical. I shouldn't love it, but I do.

All I have to say is Captain Crunch cereal. That's my guilty pleasure. I feel ridiculous liking it.

General Hospital. I don't even watch it anymore unless it's to YouTube certain scenes. But I love keeping up with it via messageboards and making fun of it. I have a complicated, twisted relationship with the show that went from outright love to love to hate to indifference and I'm now at love to laugh at it.

Dancing With The Stars. I can't believe I'm admitting this, but...Twilight...kind of. I get 10 different kinds of mad while reading the books, however I didn't think the movie was that bad. I liked the soundtrack. I have a mild interest in some of the actors. It's a sickness. I know.

*coughHardyBoyscough* definitely dont go buying those at every used bookstore, nope, absolutely not... I ship Frank/Nancy. In fact, I have a copy of A Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Supermystery--The Last Resort--because it has a lot of Frank/Nancy goodness. The part that makes me ashamed is that I bought it last year at a library sale. I am thirty-one years old, I should not have so much disdain for a fictional character as I do for Ned Nickerson.

He's just not good enough for her! The only combined one i have is danger down under, which has Mick in it (another of Nancy's flames). They're so cheesy but so fun to read

Ned Nickerson is the lamest, blandest boyfriend ever. He was even lame in the movie starring Emma Roberts. In the movie he comes to visit Nancy in California and he feels a bit threatened by Nancy's only friend who happens to be a boy. Nancy's friend is literally a boy--he's eleven years old. What sixteen year old considers an eleven year old a romantic rival? Only Ned Nickerson.

I love the music for Little Women: The Musical. Yes, there's a musical. Is it great? ...No... There are songs that I don't include on iTunes because they bore me. But the songs that I like are adorable! I use some of them as a soundtrack for my HP fic... Also, not quite a guilty pleasure per se, but certainly a pleasure that gives me much guilt: www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/ SO MANY PRETTY GAMES. Such a distraction when one wants to do homework but also wants to play... Theoretically, Avatar the Last Airbender should be considered a guilty pleasure, but it's so well-written I will defend it against anyone.

But the songs that I like are adorable! Which are your favorites? I over-listen to Boston, Massachusetts and Delighted, and I canNOT listen to Some Things are Meant to Be. Right now, my serious guilty pleasure is Hot Gimmick, and the guilt is strictly content related. The main character goes out to buy a pregnancy test for her younger sister, and gets caught with the test by the son of the people in charge of the apartment complex, who tells her she has to be his slave or he'll tell on her sister. And then this childhood friend comes in, and you think he's really nice and it turns out his mother had an affair with her father, and he plans to have her gang-raped on tape to punish him ... also, her older brother is adopted and is in love with her. And she and the first guy are sort of in love with each other. It's a very guilty pleasure, emphasis on the guilty, and to be honest it's not even that good. I'm not sure why I can't stop reading it. ETA: I'm going to add Desperate Housewives to the list, because even though I don't feel guilty over liking it, most people would think of it that way.

Aw, I like Some Things Are Meant to Be... My favorite are 'Weekly Volcano Press' (never mind how much it deviates from the canon!) Take a Chance On Me, and How I Am - and of course, Small Umbrella In The Rain. And I love 'Off To Massachusetts' too. Megan McGinnis has such a sweet voice! /fangirl

Some Things Are Meant to Be is a good song, but it makes me cry, so I can't listen to it. (Off to Massachusetts, that's it! I knew I had the title wrong.) Ooh, yes, Take A Chance On Me, I forgot how much I like that one.

Mamma Mia! the movie. I saw it five times in the theatre, twice since. It's corny and anachronistic and has a bizarre plot. I really don't like Abba because of their canned sound. But I love Mamma Mia! It makes me happy. Merle Streep should have received another oscar for it--she was that good. And somehow, hearing Brosnan massacre the music and having Julie Walters leave me in stitches takes away the canned sound of Abba and makes it completely delightful for me.

I loved Mamma Mia! ;D It's so fun and colorful and happy. Abba is something of a musical guilty pleasure of mine, so that was a plus for the movie too.

I admit to liking quite a few of the songs from Mamma Mia! I think I prefer their covers to the ABBA covers, if only because the voices are a little more varied, the music is arranged nicely, and the songs actually end. In particular, "Knowing Me Knowing You" is just really very touching. Ooh, yes, Take A Chance On Me, I forgot how much I like that one. On Itunes, I have two playlists just for my HP fanfic, and Take a Chance on Me (NOT the Abba song, while we're on the subject) is the song that I peg for one of my OC's. That basically is his song. And he's from Boston, so it works even better.
