This Week in Tabloids: Kim Kardashian's Famous Ass Is Now a 'Sagging, Dimply Blob'
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness! Every Wednesday, we hit the newsstand for the blood-sucking celebrity weeklies: In Touch, Us, Ok!, Life & Style, and Star. This week, Tanisha Love Ramirez assists as we pick up what the parasitic mags are putting down: Ben and Jen are in crisis; Miley Cyrus is minus one fiancé; Snooki is thin now; and an epic fat-shaming of Kim Kardashian.
Ok!
“Marriage in Crisis”
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s marriage hasn’t been all sunshine and unicorns, and that has their close friends (read: tabloid mongers) worried that the couple of almost a decade are doomed — doooomed, I say! Fresh off the heels of Ben’s admission that his marriage has been “work”, the rumor mills have been working harder than an Affleck at Christmas to prove that the pair are headed for a split. This story is just an elaborate attempt to revive the annual “Oscar curse.” (Fig. 1) Booooring. Also inside: Jennifer Lopez is tired of people reminding her that she’s getting older, admitting, “I never used to worry about it — until people started mentioning it all the time.” In other words: STFU about her age. In reality “star” news: Jenelle Evans has “blown through all of her TV money really quickly,” and is desperate to keep her day job as the resident deadbeat parent on MTV’s Teen Mom, even going so far as to go to MTV-mandated rehab. Also, Farrah Abraham is annoyed that people on the interweb are criticizing her for dressing her 4-year-old daughter up like a pageant queen for her b-day photoshoot, and Macy Bookout’s baby-daddy Ryan is having a total bromance with her new beau, motocross racer Taylor McKinney. Smells like a spinoff.

In Touch
“Pregnant & Alone”
Kanye West fled to Paris, allegedly to get away from knocked-up Kim and her krazy family. A family “insider” — which could possibly be a pseudonym for the fetus growing inside of Kim’s belly — suggests that Kanye wants nothing to do with the Kardashian empire that Kim worked her ass off to build. And now that Kim is gaining “rapidly multiplying pregnancy pounds”, she is feeling super insecure and has gone so far as to consider leaving the Kardashian franchise all together in an effort to save her relationship. Let’s see, what else? Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson haven’t seen each other in more than 50 days, Suri Cruise’s body-double is actually her look-alike bestie and Jessica Simpson has a new addiction: online shopping. Also, this week we get a break from body-snarking and move on up to face-snarking! In “Plastic Surgery Has Ruined Their Looks” editors rip female celebs a new one, criticizing their changing faces and alleged cosmetic procedures (Fig. 2). And in “Why Won’t These Stars Dress Their Age?” mature female celebrities are reminded to “keep their birth certificates in their closets” to dress “their age.” (Fig. 3)
