This Week In Tabloids: Tom & Katie's Issues, Angelina's Doctor Drama, Shiloh's Cute Face
Welcome back to Midweek Madness! The New York Post reports that the celebrity weeklies aren't doing too well — Us, Life & Style and In Touch all missed their rate bases (the amount of circulation a magazine promises advertisers it will deliver each issue). Is it because celebrities aren't acting as crazy as they did last year? Is it because these magazines are lame? We may never know. But the covers this week — two for Tom and Katie, one for Britney, one for Angelina and one for Shiloh — sorta sucked. Intern Sharon assists as we brave the infested pages of Us, In Touch, Life & Style, OK! and Star, after the jump. More »

This Week In Tabloids: TomKat Split; Ashlee Simpson's Engaged & Pregnant; Mariah Carey Is Slim
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we search for actual gossip in the celebrity weekly magazines. This week, there are two covers devoted to the demise of Katie Holmes' marriage; one featuring Miss Britney Spears; one packed with pregnant chicks and one celebrating super svelte Mariah Carey. A gossip column swears that Tom and Katie are living apart because their home is being renovated; the rags are calling it a "trial separation." With the assistance of intrepid Intern Sharon, we shovel the shit excreted by OK!, Us, In Touch, Life & Style and Star, after the jump. More »

This Week In Tabloids: Britney Is Thin, Mentally Ill, & Planning A Trip To Maui
Welcome back to Midweek Madness! This week, Britney Spears is back in the "news," landing 3 of the 5 weekly covers: On OK! she's lost 15 lbs., on Star she's plotting a trip with Kevin Federline and on Us she's living with mental illness. Busy gal! The other two covers are dedicated to superskinny Hollywood chicks who are "refusing to eat" and a "scandal" concerning Angelina Jolie that happened sixteen years ago. Intern Sharon helps us search for a caffeinated jolt of gossip in the week pages of Us, In Touch, Star, Life & Style and OK!, after the jump. More »

This Week In Tabloids: Katie Collapses, GyllenSpoon's In Love, The "Wedding Of The Century" Is Probably Bullshit
If it's Wednesday, it's time for Midweek Madness, in which we suffer the indignity of reading the weekly tabloids so you don't have to. It's a sad week in Hollywoodland, people, because NOTHING is going on. Oh, the covers — which are all over the place — make it look like something is going on. But Reese and Jake in love? At home with Nicole and Joel? Shiloh and Suri are big girls now? Brangelina's imagined "wedding of the century"? These are not actual newsy stories. Sure, Katie Holmes felt dizzy and made a cover, but even that is pretty weak. In any case, find out what Intern Sharon and I learned after we endured the mistreatment heaped upon us by Star, Us, OK!, Life & Style and In Touch, after the jump. More »

Welcome back to Midweek Madness! Every Wednesday, we slog through the weeklies in search of good celebrity gossip; this time around we found Ashlee Simpson instead.

In fact, it's been a slow year for Life & Style, In Touch and OK!: circulation numbers are down, reports MediaWeek. (Star is doing fine, Us has yet to post numbers.)

Another Wednesday, another Midweek Madness! The covers of the weeklies are all over the place today; one for Britney, one for Heidi Montag, one for the Cruise clan and two for Angie and Brad.

Welcome back to Midweek Madness! This week, the covers of the weekly tabloids are all over the place: Britney landed two, and the rest went to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and uh, Eric Dane.

Especially after seeing hideous close-ups of Britney Spears' nails. Shudder! Join us as we soak in celeb gossip, after the jump. More »

This Week In Tabloids: Twins For Angelina, Trouble For Mary-Kate
Every Wednesday we do Midweek Madness, a delicious look at the latest artery-clogging celebrity tabloids; this week, newly-pregnant Angelina Jolie wins 3 of 5 covers, with the other two devoted to the late Heath Ledger — and his relationship with Mary-Kate Olsen. (Last week, Life & Style and Star had frighteningly similar covers; this week it's Life & Style and OK!.) Anyway, the news that knocked-up Angie has been craving crap like Oreos and Doritos made us hungry for junky snack foods, so join us (and the amazing Intern Sharon) as we look for sugary crumbs of gossip inside Star, In Touch, Us, OK! and Life & Style.. all after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Juno Lynn Spears Is Giving Up Her Baby
Every Wednesday, we get lost in the wild weekly tabloids that we call Midweek Madness. Most of the magazines close their issues on Monday night, so People will have the only celeb weekly cover dealing with the shocking death of Heath Ledger. In the other mags, the Spears family continues to dominate the covers: Jamie Lynn scores two, Britney and her spawn score two as well. (Clean teen Miley Cyrus rounds out the pack.) Intern Sharon helps us navigate the dense thicket of gossip inside of OK!, Life & Style, In Touch, Us and Star. Come with us, after the jump, and don't forget to bring your sense of direction. More »

This week, the covers are all over the place: Britney and Angelina are trying to get pregnant; Trista's body looks great now that she isn't pregnant; Kevin Federline's got a tell-all book and Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt continue to stage photo-ops reminding the world that they exist. Someone's buying this crap: In Touch, OK!and Life & Style are are reporting higher ad revenues and ad pages. After the jump, we risk social diseases from OK!, In Touch, Life & Style, Us and Star.

This Week In Tabloids: Yeah, Britney Goes Bonkers
Congratulations to the family Spears! As expected, Britney is on 4 of 5 tabloid covers this week, and she shares the 5th with little sister Jamie Lynn. Just when you thought you'd heard it all, the rags belt out amazing details on Britney's crazy night last Thursday, as well as her relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib. Her troubles are music to a publisher's ears! Trying to follow this high opera of gossip may make you feel like you're going to have a psychotic break of your own... That's why we're in tune with Star, OK! In Touch, Us and Life & Style, as we (with the help of Intern Sharon) discover which mags have Britney in perfect pitch. Sing along with us, after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Katherine Weds; The Jolie-Pitts Continue To Exist
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, the debauched party at which we liberally imbibe in celeb gossip. Hollywoodland was rather quiet this week, which is great, since we're still hungover from New Year's Eve. Two of the five tabs want us to lose weight; two feature Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (now and in the '90s) and the last one has all the details you never wanted to know about Katherine Heigl's wedding. Too bad no one is newly knocked up, since that's the real cash cow these days. With the amazing Intern Sharon as an enabler, we suffer through the veisalgia of OK!, Life & Style, In Touch, Star and Us, after the jump. More »
