    This Week In Tabloids: Why Barack Loves Michelle; Angelina Is Anxious Or Adopting

    Welcome back to Midweek Madness, where we parse tabloid punditry so you don't have to. This week marked a slight departure in tabloid fare, as Us featured potential President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama on the cover. Don't let it throw you; the other tabloids covered all the usual players, with In Touch, Ok! and Star devoted to Brangelina's baby farm and Life & Style hot on the Britney beat. Come with us as we tell tall tales of tabloid trauma, after the jump. More »

    Gwen & Gavin's Baby: Maybe A Boy, Maybe A Girl, Definitely A Goth

    • Gavin Rossdale says he and Gwen Stefani are not going paint the unborn baby's room pink or blue: They're going to paint it black. Goth bébé, aww. [E!]

    • Is everything OK between Sam Ronson and Lindsay Lohan? Instead of really DJing a party she was hired to spin, Sam was "uneasy and jittery," a spy says. "All she did was pop in CDs and spent much of the night outside on the phone, texting and chain-smoking." [Rush & Molloy]
    • Marcia Cross was in a minor car accident yesterday, but "everyone is fine." [ET]
    • Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson? Back together? Head. Exploding. [E!]

    • Britney Spears showed up for her comeback at the MTV Awards "late, unprepared, and with a drink in her hand." She was also supposed to be lifted and twirled by the dancers, but refused. And she was supposed to be wearing a corset. [Page Six]

    Britney's VMA Performance: How Many Different Ways To Say "It Sucked"?

    • Britney "performed" at the MTV Awards. And the reviews are in! NY Post:"Lard & clear loser... Totally lame, pathetically lip-synched." Washington Post: "Disjointed and just plain boring..."

BBC: "[Her performance will] go down in the history books as being one of the worst to grace the MTV Awards". Yahoo News: "Lethargic movements that seemed choreographed by a dance instructor for a nursing home..."
    • In other VMA news, the Kid Rock vs. Tommy Lee scuffle was probably over Pam Anderson. Kid Rock stayed after security broke up the tiff, Tommy was "dragged out." [YahooNews]
