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

This Week In Tabloids: Britney's Deadly Diet, Heidi's Hoax, Mary-Kate Knocked Up?
This is Wednesday, therefore this is Midweek Madness. Britney's comeback, crisis and "deadly diet" dominated the covers this week, with three out of five magazines using her as the main image. Us still maintains that Heidi and Spencer are wed, despite the fact that most of the other weeklies call the elopement a "hoax." (Us: Best Headline Ever.) Find out "Who's Really Pregnant" and "How They Got Thin Fast," with the assistance of Intern Margaret, as we judge the worth of In Touch, Life & Style, Us, OK! and Star, after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Jolie's Joyous, Heidi's Hitched, Britney's Bulimic
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, appearing a day early due to the shortened holiday week. Us landed an "exclusive" cover story about Heidi and Spencer's "spur-of-the-moment" wedding, but the In Touch cover story (in which a source says Angelina Jolie told a London waiter not to pour her a drink because she's pregnant) is also intriguing — if true. Of the other covers this week, two are dullsville: Reese Witherspoon's on OK! and there's non-news "Baby News" in Life & Style. But Star's "Bodyguards Tell All" story includes snippets about a certain pop star who believes in unicorns. Maria assists as we give thanks for gossip and feast on the rumors in In Touch, OK!, Life & Style, Us and Star, after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Brangeliniston Vs. Twilight
If it's Wednesday, this must be Midweek Madness, in which we devour the celebrity tabloids with a hunger for "news." There's no new issue of OK! today, because last week was a "double issue"... not that we noticed. As for the other mags, it was almost a Brangeliniston sweep this week, with Brad and Jennifer on three of four covers, sometimes joined by Angelina. Only Life & Style bucked the trend, for a new trend: a story featuring the stars of Twilight. Does it matter that the article has zero substance? Only the newsstand sales will tell! Intern Margaret was stuck on a train for an hour and a half, hence this delayed — but incredibly informative — edition of Midweek Madness… We're all aboard Life & Style, In Touch, Us and Star, after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Brad's Trapped, Jen's Devastated, Obamas Are Just Like Us
If it's Wednesday, this must be Midweek Madness, in which we scour the celebrity tabloids in search of "news." It's still OBAMANIA in magland; of the five weeklies we cover, only one — In Touch — didn't have a story about the Obamas and include a picture of them on the cover. As for the other big stories this week, the tired old love triangle involving Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is still making news, and Angelina might still be knocked up with her seventh child. Intern Margaret assists as we try to comb through Star, Us, OK!, In Touch and Life & Style, after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Angelina & Aniston Are Impregnated; Obama Is Amazing
Welcome back to Midweek Madness! All anyone can think about today is the President Elect, Barack Obama, and Us is the only celebrity tabloid to put him on the cover. The four other covers? Business as usual: Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie each land a cover, because they're both allegedly pregnant, and Jen's with twins. Suri Cruise wins a cover because she might get a baby brother, Xenu willing. And Britney Spears and her mental illness get a cover. All the usual suspects. Intern Margaret assists as we look for meaning in Star, Us, OK!, In Touch and Life & Style, after the jump.

Olsen Twins Planning Boob Jobs, Brad Planning Affair, Aniston Knocked Up & Planning Wedding
Welcome back to Midweek Madness! This week, the Jennifer Aniston soap opera drama continues: According to In Touch, she looks pregnant; Star says she's planning a wedding, and OK! claims she had a "SEXY DATE" with Gerard Butler. As for Angelina Jolie, she's on two covers this week: Blissfully happy on OK!, with a wedding and another (adopted) kid on the way; humiliated and betrayed on Star, because Brad's been flirting and carousing in Berlin. As for Jennifer Hudson's family tragedy, while it was covered in all of the weekly tabloids, only Us put J. Hud as the main image on the cover. Life & Style went with a Carrie Underwood/Jessica Simpson skinny vs. curvy "battle." Intern Margaret assists as we rummage through Star, Us, OK!, In Touch and Life & Style, looking for tricks and treats, after the jump.

This Week In Tabloids: Aniston Pops The Question, Madonna's "Affair" With A-Rod Was "Orchestrated"
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, our weekly roundup of the glossy tabloids. Although Madonna and Guy "win" two covers this week, thanks to a nasty divorce, Jennifer Aniston also lands two covers, for her lingerie-fueled marriage proposal to John Mayer, and for getting plastic surgery. The last of the five covers features Angelina, with the by-now-greatly-recycled quote about Mr. & Mrs. Smith being a movie her kids can to watch to see their parents fall in love. Intern Margaret assists as we quench our thirst for celebrity "news" by drinking from the spigots of Star, Us, OK!, In Touch and Life & Style, after the jump.

But we took the time to mine the mags for nuggets of gold. Intern Margaret assists as we dip our pan in the latest issues of Us, OK!, Life & Style, In Touch and Star, after the jump.

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

This Week In Tabloids: Mariah's Pregnancy, Aniston's Lipo, Angie's Shrink
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, where we're always willing to punish ourselves by reading celebrity weeklies so you don't have to! This week, the tabloids are all over the place: Us shuns a "gossip" cover in favor of a "Style Issue," but the other mags try and make up for it with pseudo-scandalous stories. Mariah and her maybe-baby land one cover; Jen Aniston's adventures in cosmetic procedures get another; Lindsay Lohan's "untold story" gets the third and Angelina Jolie's mental health wins the last. Intern Margaret assists as we dabble in masochism by reading and reporting on the contents of OK!, Life & Style, In Touch and Star, after the jump.
