Jezebel: ok! magazine

Start 'Em Young

It is generally agreed that tabloids and gossips have already crushed the self-esteem of every working actress by mocking their bodies, hairstyle, and clothing choices. Next up: Kids! Luckily, OK! magazine (cheaper than Us Weekly in every way) has finally begun judging the fashion choices of celebrity kids with its "Hollywood's Best Dressed Little Girls" feature. What other celebrity weekly is going to tell you that Marcia Cross' barely walking twins, Eden and Savannah, are a couple of fashion plates? Sure, they can barely form coherent sentences, let alone pick out outfits, but hell, let's really drive home the fact that, as celebrity children, they are always being judged. [OK! via Mollygood]

'OK!' Magazine And Britney Spears Give Us A Bad Case Of Blueballs

With all the news of the Britney Spears/OK! Magazine photoshoot meltdown, you'd think the new issue of OK! would be awesome. But it's not. First of all: No pictures from the photo shoot! Did Britney buy them out? Are they coming next week? What is going on? The opening spread has a photo of Britney leaving the photo shoot — underpants visible, Red Bull in hand— but there are no images from the shoot. (The magazine claims to have taken four test shots.) Also, if an interview was initiated, there are no questions — and no answers — to be had. Again, are the magazine's editors holding back? Even if Britney just said, "OK, I'm ready to be interviewed," we want to know!

As for the story itself, it's detailed and elaborate. Britney showed up 45 minutes late; she "banished" everyone but the hair and makeup people from the set — and then even they were "banished." She wanted Janet Jackson's album 'Rhythm Nation' to be playing. The magazine was informed that the clothing selection "just wasn't sexy," so Britney's assistant Shannon Funk took over as stylist. Then the infamous chicken-grease-wiping event occurred, and Brit's $3,000 Yorkie pooped on a Zac Posen gown. (Our hero!)

OK! claims that Britney emerged from the bathroom "disoriented," and then, "out of the blue", stormed from the shoot. She also apparently took a few things with her — $14,796 worth of things! — including two $6,387 rings, a $281 Pucci headscarf (which we think she's wearing in the getaway pic), a $974 Vera Wang dress, a pair of $380 Lanvin heels, a $300 Mia Vita dress, and a $87 gold bangle. But honestly? Showing up late and acting cuckoo is sort of expected at this point. What we really wanted were quotes and pictures, and we got neither.

It's OK! to cry.

The newly resurgent OK! promises us 'an inside peek' at LeAnn Rimes' 'surprising new song' this week. I'm more surprised by the fact that her eyebrows appear to be channeling Colin Farrell for some reason, but here you go:

"'For so long, I've been thought of as this all-American girl next door, but there are so many sides of me people don't know,' the 23-year-old singer tells OK! Intrigued, OK! met with LeAnn on the Nashville set of her video for 'And It Feels Like', a song from her new album 'Whatever We Wanna', which will be released in the US on rimestimes.com. The video tells the story of a beautiful American actress (LeAnn) who runs into a former flame - who just happens to be a prince - and his new girlfriend at a party."

What? A prince? I did wonder where LeAnn had disappeared to, and now it turns out she's been shagging Prince William. And in case you doubt me, LeAnn confirms her inner truth:

"They're real tears in the video. I'd be cheating myself if I used tear drops."

Of course you would, dear. Of course you would.

Everything's gonna be OK!

Amazingly, now that OK! has learned to look and sound just like all the other kids in the playground, it appears to be gaining popularity, hitting the 500,000 mark at last.

And all it had to do was drastically cut its page size, drastically cut its price - from £3.29 to $1.99 - and drastically tell the same tall stories as all the other celeb weeklies - JEN TO BE A MOM!

But with Star's circulation figures allegedly dipping into the low 590,000s, who knows? Maybe it was worth it.
