You've been caught red-handed. You have the right to not remain silent. All the evidence has been gathered and the jury has come up with a unanimous decision. When it comes to indulging in guilty pleasures, there's no denying it, you are guilty as charged!

It's time to fess up and come clean. Don't worry, you're not alone. Although it's painful to admit, we are all big goofballs hiding behind a world of guilty pleasures.

So, every once in a while if you like to turn up the polka music, dress up as your favorite Star Trek character or watch reruns of Leave it to Beaver, it's OK. We've all found immense pleasure in our share of the uncool -- things that give us great joy, like today's top 10 guilty pleasures:

10. Computer Gaming

9. TiVo

8. Double latte with extra whipped cream

7. Screening phone calls

6. Celebrity gossip

5. Talking on cell phones while driving

4. Supersized "value" meals

3. Nonstop text messaging

2. Reality television

1. CHOCOLATE!

OK, so chocolate is a classic guilty pleasure that stands the test of time. We've shown you ours. Ready to fess up to yours?

One of my guilty pleasures is watching the rag mag shows on E! early Saturday morning. I'm a sucker for The Soup and the Daily 10 Weekend. (sigh)

"5. Talking on cell phones while driving"

I'm shocked and disappointed to see this listed as a guilty pleasure. Why not "Blow drying hair while driving" or "Breastfeeding infant while driving" (both recently in the news) or "Driving after a few too many cocktails" or "Blowing cigarette smoke in babies' faces"? Do you not know texting and talking on cell phones while driving have now far surpassed drunk driving as the leading causes of accidents? As well, they are illegal in many states. Why not list "Shoplifting" or "Filching office supplies"? Enjoy your lattes and celebrity gossip, but protect the rest of us by not encouraging dangerous behaviors.

Kelly Clarkson and The Disney Channel. I'm 22 years old but some of the shows on the Disney channel really do amuse me sometimes :) And I will never admit to my friends that I do enjoy Kelly Clarkson. But you better not tell anyone!
