This Week In Taboids: Angelina Gets Twins (Again), Michael Jackson Is Dying

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:40:00 EST

Welcome back to Midweek Madness. There's no OK! this week because last week's lame-ass Britney issue was a "double." In related news, the glossy is slashing its newsstand price by 50¢, hoping you'll fall for bargain-basement gossip. But you know what they say: You get what you pay for. In any case, this week the news was mostly about Angelina's baby addiction. She's either got one, two, or three on the way, depending on which magazine you read, because she might be knocked up with a baby, or twins, and she might be getting a little African girl for Christmas. Find out more about her uterus, plus the rare disease Michael Jackson is dying from, as Intern Margaret assists in the filleting of Us, Life & Style, In Touch and Star, after the jump. More »

While there are moments of the H&M S/S 2008 collection that are, as Tim Gunn would say, a little "costume-y", we have to admit: We're pretty drooly for most all of it. Sure, it doesn't always function as a "collection" (we're not sure how turbans and ethnic-print earth tones relate to short, swingy shifts in primary colors), but there's some good stuff. And to use the language of another Project Runway cast member, it "looks expensive." (And really, isn't that the whole point of H&M? Let it be cheap, let it be on-trend, and let it look much nicer than it cost!) And seriously, no harm, no foul if it falls apart in three-months time: A small price to pay for a faux-Mayle ensemble.

Students at the Theological College of the Holy Trinity in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia are protesting the following things: close ties between the Church and the government; restrictions on freedom of speech; the quality of the food in the cafeteria; and Beyoncé.
