CelebritiesWednesday means one thing: Midweek Madness. The covers are all over the place this week, like what’s up with Brangelina? Did she kick him out? Agree to be Mrs. Pitt? Is he cheating with Natalie Portman?
If you want the truth … you probably shouldn’t check out In Touch, Life & Style, Us, Ok! and Star. But nevertheless, we continue our weekly quest for real gossip below.

WEDDING NEWS! For years, Angelina Jolie has taken on the bulk of the responsibility with the kids, but now that she’s been spending so much time away from home taking on humanitarian and film projects, Brad Pitt feels like he’s a single dad. “He wants to get married before they have any more babies – and that mean getting pregnant or adopting,” says a source. “He needs to know Angie is really committed to him,” a friend adds. “Becoming Mrs. Pitt would give him the answer.” In other fake news, Jennifer Aniston wants to adopt a baby girl because she loves the relationship Courteney Cox has with her daughter Coco and breaking up with John Mayer has “sidelined the idea of getting pregnant.” Lastly, Britney’s fighting to win Kevin back. Though she kissed an unnamed dancer during a dinner with members of her tour and then spent nine minutes in the bathroom with him while her bodyguards blocked the door, she’s only hooking up with the dancer to make Kevin jealous. “If she wants Kevin back, she better move fast,” says a Federline source. “Kevin’s track record is to get every girl he falls for pregnant, and he wastes no time.”

Here’s the “diet secret” that keeps the ladies of Dancing With the Stars so svelte: DANCE FOR EIGHT HOURS A DAY. Moving on: “Octomom, The Nannies Tell All” gives more detail about why the Angels in Waiting nurses clashed with Nadya Suleman. Representatives from the organization claim that she was tipping off the media, that cameramen were telling nurses to “get out of the shot” while they were trying to care for the babies, and that there is no security in the home and anyone can just walk in. They say Nadya was always shopping, only took care of the babies when the cameras were on, and didn’t bathe one baby for days. In other news, Bridget Moynahan isn’t amused by Gisele Bundchen’s comment regarding her son Jack in Vanity Fair. Gisele said, “It’s not like because somebody else delivered him that’s not my child.” Bridget and her friends are “in shock” since she’s never met Gisele and a source says, “Gisele parades that kid for the pararazzi to show she’s a family person.” Stevie Nicks makes fun of some of her worst looks ever. (Fig. 1) Next: Us is calling out all of the other tabloids for recently running cover stories that weren’t true. For the record, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren’t breaking up, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer weren’t trying to conceive a baby, and Rihanna and Chris Brown did not have a secret wedding. They also show how OK! Photoshopped two pictures together to make it look like Suri and Shiloh were having a play date. A Jolie-Pitt source says, “Angelina has never met Suri, nor is Shiloh her new best friend. Actually, Shiloh’s real best friend, Zahara, would be upset to hear that!” In closing, John Mayer insulted Jennifer Aniston on a five-day cruise with his fans aboard the “Mayercraft Carrier 2.” He debuted a song about an anonymous needy lover, and admitted to making out with Jen’s “nemesis” by which the mag means Perez Hilton. “Fuck yeah, I made out with Perez,” Mayer told the crowd, “I just wanted to prove that I’m a sicker fuck than he is. I’ll [have sex with him] until he runs away screaming just to prove a point.”
