This Week In Tabloids: Angelina Is Thin, Happy & Tummy-Tucked

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Welcome back to Midweek Madness, our roundup for tabloid "news." This week, because Angelina Jolie emerged from her European safehouse and appeared on the red carpet in New York looking fantastic, she is on three of the five weekly covers. Star and Us focus on her physique; Life & Style does a positive "How We Make It Work" relationship story, even though a month ago, the mag claimed Brad and Angie were at the "breaking point" and fellow Bauer Publishing title In Touch just did a cover with the words "Have They Split?" Anyway: The Spears sisters conquer the other two covers, though the stories are pretty yawn-inducing. Intern Margaret assists as we comb through the latest issues of OK!, Life & Style, In Touch and Star, after the jump. More »

Oprah! In final talks! To be on 30 Rock! She'll play herself in scenes with Tina Fey's character Liz Lemon. Will Arnett and Jennifer Aniston are also making appearances on the show this fall. The bad news? The season premiere doesn't air until October 30. [E!]
Paris Hilton has "manipulated" the Toronto Film Festival to get more publicity for a documentary about herself. There were three screenings of the film Paris, Not France; now there is only one, because that will "create more buzz." Hasn't her moment in the spotlight come and gone? [Page Six]
The trailer for Lindsay Lohan's new movie, Labor Pains, is online. LL plays a publishing assistant who avoids getting fired by pretending to be pregnant. It looks almost barely funny. [People]

Study Shows Sex Ed Works For (Some) Teens

Jessica — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:30:00 EST

New evidence suggests that teenage boys who receive sex education are three times more likely to use condoms when they lose their virginity. And that's not the only good news: The same study, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, showed that all teens who receive some kind of sex education will delay sex until at least age fifteen. The CDC did not differentiate what kid of sex education was taught — it treated abstinence-focused education the same way it studied more progressive forms of sex ed — though research released earlier this year showed that abstinence only programs don't really work. (Interestingly, the only form of sex ed required in Jamie Lynn Spears' home state of Louisiana is abstinence only; Jessica Sierra's home state of Florida also requires abstinence only education but does not impose either sex ed or contraceptive practices on its students.)

Signs of the Apocalypse

eurotrash — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 17:52:52 EST

Britney Spears, once known as a singer, was the most searched person on Yahoo's site for the fifth time in six years (beaten out in 2004 by Paris Hilton). We know Brit's done some remarkable things lately—married a nobody, had two babies and is now divorcing her stinky husband—but can someone tell us what exactly is it that keeps people interested in this ho'? http://www.rte.ie/arts/2006/1205/spearsb.html More »
