This Week In Tabloids: Justin's Trousersnake Is Sexing Ashley Olsen
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we gorge ourselves on gossip from Ok!, Us, Star, In Touch and Life & Style. This week, Prince Harry is single and looking to mingle; Kim Kardashian’s baby is merely a Photoshop composite; Angelina is collapsing since she weighs only 99 pounds; and Justin Timberlake and Ashley Olsen are bumping uglies.
Ok!
“I’m Having A Baby!”
Surely you know this, but in tabloid speak, “I’m having a baby” means someday Kim Kardashian would like to give birth. She is not pregnant at present. And says so on her blog. Pretty hilarious, since Ok!‘s tag line is “the magazine the stars trust.” Somehow the editors managed to squeeze out four pages with quotes about Kim visiting the gynecologist, getting blood work, avoiding secondhand smoke, designing her nursery and so on. There is also a “Who Will Have The Cutest Kid?” sidebar featuring digital composites that imagine what Khloe and Kim’s kids COULD look like, while comparing the two imaginary children to Kourtney’s real one. (See Fig. 1) Can we talk about how Khloe and Lamar’s fake baby has straight hair? That is not gonna happen. He is black. The kid will have curls. Unless that is a baby weave? Hmm. Also: “Since both Kim and Kris have siblings whose names all begin with the letter K, she’s called dibs on her fave K baby names, so Khloe can’t use them, if she has a child first.” Next: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are talking about getting hitched. A source says, “The kids have made it very clear they want Mommy and Daddy to get married.” And everyone knows that adults do what kids say! By the way, Angie and Brad will be filming the sequel to Mr. & Mrs. Smith, a movie absolutely no one is clamoring for. Paris Hilton claims she is too shy to be a mean girl. “I am one of the sweetest people that I know. I am always nice to everybody and I am never mean to anybody,” she says. Ahem. Thrown in alongside all the celeb gossip is a Casey Anthony story titled “Murder Or Accident?” Kind of weird. Finally: “They Look Better With Curves” is trying to seem like a good idea, since it’s claiming that LeAnn Rimes, Megan Fox, and Ashley Simpson look great with more meat on their bones, but actually, judging women’s bodies? Still not cool. Thanks!

Life & Style
“A Wedding And Two Babies!”
Kim Kardashian’s wedding has a budget of about $3 million. She wants it to be huge, formal, and for Christina Aguilera to perform. Kourtney is ready to have another baby. BUT. The family is concerned because Scott “American Psycho” Disick has started drinking again. He thinks he can drink responsibly, so he’s having a beer at a club here and there. SLIPPERY SLOPE, DUDE. Meanwhile, Khloe is working with a doctor and a TEAM of people to help her get pregnant, and when we announced this out loud in the office, Anna North said, “That sounds like a gang bang. Sorry.” We will assume that Lamar is on this “team.” Olivia Wilde is in a love triangle, with Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake making up the other sides. She is seeing them both and juggling these hotties as she “heals her heart.” But Justin was spotted with the Olsen twins while Olivia was with Bradley, so. Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez have split, says an insider: “He needs to focus on baseball, and that’s all there is to it.” At first, she told him that she didn’t want to get married or have kids, but then she started pressuring him for commitment. Ladies be changing their minds! Ramona Singer of The Real Housewives Of New York had a breakdown in Morocco, where she and Jill Zarin got into an “explosive fight.” Afterward, Ramona collapsed in her room and writhed, while in tears. But you see, the incident with Jill came on the heels of a trip filled with too much Pinot Grigio and a “devastating” reading from a fortune teller. Sigh. Here are some pictures from Niecy Nash’s wedding! Check out her cute shoes. And Miss J from ANTM was there! (See Fig. 2a, 2b) Finally: Did you know that Pippa Middleton texted her sister Kate while the Duchess was on her honeymoon and apologized for those “topless” bra pictures that surfaced? Also, Pippa feels guilty about her sudden rise to fame and feels bad about getting more attention than Kate. Sniffle.

In Touch
“Emotional Reunion.”
Jen and Brad hadn’t really been talking to each other lately, but when Brad found out that little doggie Norman died, he called Jen — secretly, because of course, Angelina would not allow it — to express his condolences and chat about memories of their life together with Norman. He also told Jen how much his mom misses her. Brad and Jen have had other conversations recently, one of which lasted more than 30 minutes! Exclamation point! Brad, architectural enthusiast that he is, plans to help Jen renovate her new NYC apartment — and is going to give her a Ralph Lauren cashmere blanket (?). Angie would be furious if she found out, OBVS, because she looks down on Jen and calls her the Valley Girl. Moving on: Justin and Bradley are “battling” for Olivia. Dressed like gladiators, in an arena. Put on some lipstick, push up your boobs: Prince Harry is single again! He and Chelsy Davy got in a fight over the wedding — she doesn’t want to be a princess — and now they are dunzo. Is LeAnn Rimes too thin to get pregnant? Get out your stethoscope and medical degree and decide! (See Fig. 3) Also, for Kim and Kris, “the honeymoon is over and they’re not even married yet.” She is demanding they get married in July or August — and hired a wedding planner before Kris even proposed. Plus, she’s already working on ANOTHER reality show that revolves around her being a newlywed. Romantic. (See Fig. 4) Oh, look, another story called “Do They Look Better With Curves?” Barf. Is Jennifer Garner pregnant? Her rep denies it, but since she has a wrinkle in her shirt — and an arrow pointing at the fold, with the word “bump” — she must be. Jessica Simpson has a “no cheating prenup,” which makes sure that if Eric strays, he gets zero cash. Sandra Bullock wants to get her marriage annulled, because she believes that Jesse James entered the union under false pretenses. Between dates with Blake Lively, Leo DiCaprio was spotted with a brunette named Natalie at the Monte Carlo beach club. They shared a private cabana, and you know what that means.
