This Week In Tabloids: Sandra's Husband Had An Affair; Justin Might Be Cheating On Jessica
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness, in which Margaret and I judge Star, In Touch, Us, Life & Style and Ok!. This week: Sandra Bullock’s husband is having an affair; Jen’s getting artificially inseminated and Tinsley Mortimer is a hair model!
Ok!
“Ten Lbs. In 10 Days!”
Margaret learned that Kendra’s diet plan includes eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast, toast for lunch, and raw vegetables and a small piece of chicken breast for dinner. Snooze. (And how is this an exclusive if we already saw her pouring corn flakes into a blender and she already told us how she lost 25 lbs in 8 weeks?) Even though we previously read that this woman felt bad about her body and wanted a breast reduction, this week she’s “in her sexiest shape ever!” In other news: Emma Roberts and Taylor Lautner may be dating… because at the Vanity Fair Oscar party they talked for 40 minutes with her hand on his knee! Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are definitely planning to have another baby, but he says getting pregnant has to be Katie’s decision. How noble! “Though they love his adopted son Connor, Tom must want a biological son to pass on the gene pool,” says a source. In an interview, when asked if she thinks it’s possible for exes to get back together, Jennifer Aniston said yes. So the headline here is “Jen’s Message To Brad.” A source says: “In her heart, Jen has always felt that Brad’s relationship with Angelina is just a very passionate fling.” Five years and six kids is a fling? We are literally ROTFL over here! Cameron Diaz fought the studio to get her ex, Justin Timberlake, in the movie Bad Teacher — an insider says Cameron “really pushed it.”Apparently they wanted Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd or some other “real actor,” but Cam convinced them JT would be great. She also asked for the love scenes to be rewritten so that they are “even juicier” and “longer.”

“Growing Up Too Fast.”
This cover story is all about how celebrity kids live luxurious lives. Suri Cruise is “a little adult whose parents don’t talk down to her.” She is also a “Pellegrino-sipping girl” who “travels in private jets and chauffeured cars.” Honor Warren (Jessica Alba’s daughter) is 21 months old, and has a $120 Bonpoint cardigan. Madonna’s daughter Mercy James has a $128 Stella McCartney for Gap blazer and a $235 D&G bag. Nahla Aubry has a $135 Bonpoint blouse; Matilda Ledger has a Petite Bateau rain jacket which retails at $120. The mag points out that Suri once wore a $635 Holmes & Yang dress, but since her mom designed it, we doubt she paid for it. Next: Justin Timberlake was at Tao in Las Vegas on March 10, and a cocktail waitress had her hands on his chest, under his jacket. The lady’s name is Joey Williams, and she’s brown with dark hair. A friend of Justin’s swears she’s not his type: “He’s into athletic tomboyish white girls.” So that’s settled. Kate Winslet agreed to shoot the miniseries Mildred Pierce in NYC, but Sam Mendes wanted to stay in the UK. “Kate told Sam, ‘Your career is not more important than mine,'” says a source. Hence the split. Last week, one tabloid had the word “ditched” on a story about Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick; now she sets the record straight, saying “We are tired of the lies… [our baby] brought us together. Our relationship is stronger.” Kim adds: “They are so in love.” Whatever! Lastly: There’s nothing new in the four-page story about Corey Haim.

Life & Style
“Corey’s Final Days.”
There are lots of old pictures of Corey Haim and details about all the times he went into rehab here, if you are interested. Moving on: Justin Timberlake “humiliated” Jessica Biel by hanging out with a Vegas cocktail waitress (see image 7). A “witness” says “She had dark curly hair, and big boobs — of course.” There’s a picture of the lady in question here and her rack is not that big, but let’s continue. The source says: “He looked like he was definitely out to hook up.” Mmkay? Kate Gosselin has been spending “late nights with a married man,” and guess what? He’s her Dancing With The Stars partner, Tony Dovolani. They went to a 7:45 showing of Alice In Wonderland, and Tony didn’t get back to his hotel until 5:30 am. Tori Spelling’s marriage is “in crisis.” She’s “grown tired” of single-handedly supporting the family — in addition to supporting Dean’s pricey hobby, motorcycle racing. Apparently Dean “has very little money of his own.” In a story about how Beyoncé and her mom are “praying for a baby,” the caption reads: “Beyoncé looked a tad bumpy in a stunning frock.” (See image 8). Is a “tad” bumpy like “a little pregnant”? Next: Heidi and Spencer might have been “brainwashed” by their mystic spiritual adviser Aidan Chase. A source says “no one can talk any sense into them” and “this guy is feeding them spiritual guidance and it’s all they’re living their lives by now.” Apparently Spencer has spent around $500,000 on crystals this year and now signs his emails “pure love and light.” Unsolicited uterus update: Jennifer Aniston is “determined” to become a mom in 2010. She’s been talking to fertility experts about intra-uterine insemination and is “on the hunt” for a sperm donor. Tally ho! Bethenny Frankel says her wedding to Jason Hoppy is “just around the corner” and she’ll get married before she gives birth. Breaking “Celebrity Scandal”: Lady Gaga is “not that original.” (see image9) Rihanna spends $2300 a day to stay fit: the personal trainer is $1500 a day; the private chef is $800. Lastly: We present, without comment, the most high society thing we’ve ever seen: Tinsley Mortimer, hair model (see image 10).
