This Week In Tabloids: Thin Jen Writes Poetry For John; SJP's Moving Out
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we learn that Jennifer Aniston is a poet who rhymes “luck” with “truck.”
Most of the covers were lame this week, with the word “thin” on two (New Year’s resolutions, anyone?), plastic surgery on one, Britney’s “comeback” on another and a juicy story about Sarah Jessica Parker maybe leaving Matthew Broderick on the last. Below, Intern Margaret assists as we peruse the predictable pages of OK!, Us, Life & Style, In Touch and Star.

“How I Got Thin”
While we have no idea how old the Britney photo is, (pre-pregnancy, maybe?) we definitely know that the Jessica Alba cover shot has been digitally altered like crazy. So this cover fails. Inside, we are informed that Britney gets Sunfare meals delivered to her home and is currently eating 1,100 -1,200 calories a day. As for Jessica, in her before and after pictures, she is pregnant in the “before.” There are details about how other stars lost weight, too: Eva Longoria lost weight by eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Oh! And Britney has a tourmaline ring that is helping her heal because it “boosts her inner strength and provides a sense of stability.” Moving on: Angelina Jolie has been wearing a lot of Ralph Lauren clothing, which she gets for free. But she’s not under contract with the company: “Lots of top designers send Angie clothes,” says a source. “She wears what she wants to.” Does Robert Pattinson want out of Twilight? He cropped his signature locks in the ultimate fuck you move (Fig. 1)! Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer were both in Los Cabos, Mexico over the holidays, but they stayed in hotels that were six miles apart! A source says: “Jen often can’t even reach him. I’ve never seen her get him on the first call. It’s almost like they communicate completely via text and voicemail. But Jen learned her lesson from the last time they broke up — she knows not to push John.” Underminery! “Shocking New Year’s Breakups” is a list of couples who made the drive to Splitsville last week: Jennifer Love Hewitt and fiancé Ross McCall; Patricia Arquette and husband of 2 years Thomas Jane; Katy Perry and Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes; Gossip Girl‘s Kelly Rutherford — who is three months pregnant — and husband Daniel Giersch. In “I’m Addicted To Botox,” there’s a huge picture of Tamra from Real Housewives of Orange County having a needle stuck into her forehead. Pretty much all of the Housewives admit to Botox and boob jobs. Lastly, in “These Stars Don’t Dress Their Age,” Madonna and Nicolette Sheridan are dressing too young, while Katherine Heigl and Katie Holmes are dressing too old (Fig. 2).
Grade: F (lose weight)

“Who’s Had Plastic Surgery.”
Doctors who do not treat the stars think: Angelina Jolie had Botox and chemical peels; Tom Cruise had Juvéderm (and sends an assistant to pick up $1,390 jars of La Mer); and Jen Aniston gets lipodissolve, Botox and Juvéderm. Plus, we learn Megan Fox, 22, has already begun to get “preventative” Botox injections. Moving on: This story is summed up in the headline: “Poor Katie — Now Tom Says: I Want 10 Kids.” Maybe Xenu wants her to be a baby machine? Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez went on a “make or break” Puerto Rican vacation; J. Lo wants to keep it together for the twins. Even though the couple was spotted kissing and wearing wedding bands, a body language expert says J. Lo’s face is “devoid of any expression.” The NY Daily News has reported that J. Lo and Marc will break up after Valentine’s Day after singing one last time together at Madison Square Garden. Lastly, Kevin Federline and his new girlfriend, Victoria Prince, are getting serious and thinking about living together in Kevin’s Tarzana home. Britney’s not happy about Victoria being around her boys — Victoria has an arrest record.
Grade: D- (quit smoking)
