The Good:
From that first Vera Wang at the Oscars, Amy Adams has never been afraid to do romantic.
I've liked Christine Taylor since Hey Dude. She looks darling. Good story, huh?


The Meh:
Tobey Maguire's main squeeze Jennifer Meyer is rocking a good shape, but I can't help finding the print a tad bit Fauvist nightmare.
Alicia Silverstone's dress isn't awful but it's not terribly engaging, and while I get that the belt's supposed to add interest, it also adds fug.
Is that a leather bodice? Yes, it's a leather bodice.
I actually think Laura Ramsey could have pulled off this Lisa Frank print if she'd obeyed the Fingertip Rule, but without it there's just a gravitas deficit.


The Bad:
Maria Menounos is kind of channeling futuristic cocktail in this harsh frock.
I am so friggin sick of having to explain to people like Justin Theroux that they are not members of the Rat Pack, nor mid-century jazz musicians, nor in 1997 or whenever Swingers came out, and as such have no business wearing pork-pie hats, the uniform of The Ass.
I guess if the Picasso breast is what you're aiming for, the stunning Rashida Jones has achieved it.



The Ugly:
Obviously Jena Malone's hair is for a role, right? But the combat boots? Unless she's getting method for the role of a 1993 middle-schooler (plausible I guess) this is just not on.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' icky and ill-fated romance takes the lead, from US' cover story on the ill-effects of Scientology to Life & Style's attempt to tell "Tom's side of the story" (how could any woman turn her back on a man who gives her a Black Amex card?) to Star's insistence that Tom's meddling mom is driving Katie to the limits of her (already frail) sanity. It's enough to make a woman do a Laura Nyro and sing "Tom Kat Good-bye."

More on who's sleeping with whom, who wishes they were sleeping with whom, and the fact that everyone's breasts are fake... after the jump!

Apparently no one pictured in a weekly tabloid has real boobs. And, apparently, this is news. In fact, InTouch goes so far as to say that breast enhancement is the "hottest Hollywood trend." Jessica's are "busting out" (thanks again, InTouch) and Star wonders if Jessica has "augmented her already ample breasts" (and then has a nutritionist weigh in and add, helpfully, that Jess could stand to lose 3-5 lbs). Life & Style breathes a sigh of relief in reporting on "Best Boob Makeovers!" that "Lindsay got her boobs back!," that "Paris' bra makes all the difference!" and that "Surgery saved Tara [Reid]!". Thank goodness for that!

In other news, it's raining men for Jennifer Aniston. Life & Style insists that Brad Pitt is having buyer's remorse, lamenting the huge mistake he made in leaving her for Angelina Jolie because with Jennifer, life was "simple." InTouch, however, shifts the focus to Jennifer and her number one friend-with-benefits, Vince Vaughn, who is apparently scared of getting too serious with her. (Star, seemingly desperate for an angle, tries to convince us that Jennifer is the one with the commitment issues). US focuses on the on/off couple's recent sleepover party on April 21, bringing in psychologist Ava Cadell to analyze the situation (Her conclusion? It's ok to keep sleeping with your ex "as long as [you] both want to do it and it feels good." Thanks, Ava!)

US Weekly is the biggest newsstand tantalizer this week with the hed "Her Twisted Double Life" — her being Angelina — and promising to analyze
-her broken promise to be a stay-at-home mom
-Secret fights with Brad over Pax's adoption
-How she uses her kids to manipulate the media.
(Our boldface, natch!)

The effect of which is sort of a bonerkiller to Life & Style Weekly's promise to reveal details of Brangelina's death threats. Yawn. Slightly more interesting, if you care about Katie Holmes (not really) or Scientology (totes!) Star and InTouch both front stoned-looking pix of K, with InTouch sporting a typically horrid couple shot and detecting another hirsute bun in her oven, Star promising to reveal details of what happened when Tom uncovered Katie's secret plan to leave him.
