Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce after nearly eight years of troubled marriage dominates the covers of the tabloids this week. They’re sure to be featured in the upcoming weeks as the stories drag on and the battle for custody and cash continues. This is far from over yet, and judging from Madonna’s willingness to dish details to the press we’re about to hear more about how she was supposedly wronged by Guy.
Angelina’s sort-of confession to falling in love with Brad on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith is also a prominent item. Life & Style runs it as the main story, and claims to have an “Exclusive” that Angelina admits a love affair. You can bet it’s the same story everyone else has been running based on something she said in a NY Times interview. Maybe they pulled a throwaway unrelated quote from their brief interview with her on the red carpet at the Changeling premiere and that’s how they justify calling it an exclusive. A couple of weeks ago Life & Style claimed to have an “Exclusive” from Brad and Angelina titled “How We Make it Work,” but it was just quotes pulled from interviews we’ve already heard plus a few brief “We’re great!” comments on the red carpet.
In Touch has a “Yes, We Had Plastic Surgery” lead with a photo of Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston. It seems to be based on Cox’s admission of getting Botox that came out two weeks ago and Aniston’s nosejob that she freely admitted to in January, 2007 for a deviated septum.
The National Enquirer features Dr. Phil cheating on his wife, Robyn. They’ve long had insider information on the poor state of their relationship, and it looks like they now have a mistress who’s willing to talk in exchange for cash. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of interest in Dr. Phil.
The sad case of missing three year old Caylee Anthony also is prominent, with The National Enquirer and Globe focusing on her 22 year-old mother as guilty of her murder. No body has been found, but her mother is in jail first degree murder charges after a four month investigation.
Star runs a story we’ve seen from them before – that Aniston proposed to Mayer. They said that the first time these two were together and it wasn’t believable back then either.
Thanks to ONTD and Cover Awards for these covers.
Normally there’s a least a couple of comically intriguing things on the tab covers but practically everything here sounds, as you say, like reworkings of completely unsensational already known stories. Who buys these things? 😯
Thinking the same thing, Geronimo, there’s not much there that interests me. Possibly about Madonna sleeping in the plastic bag? Otherwise, I hope someone does something really foolish/ obscene/ insane/ romantic within the next few days or I may have to read more about the election.
Brad “refuses to marry” Angie? WTF are they smoking?
And as far as all of this “Angie stabbed Jen in the heart” nonsense, at some point, after a certain amount of years, the tabloids will seriously have to declare an End To The Pity Party. Enough. It’s over.
Oh, and I *totally* believe that Dr. Phil is a big, fat cheater. He has the look of a guy who nails interns.
Syko the Madonna plastic bag story already came out and is from a story in the Daily Mail that she goes to bed wearing a plastic suit after covering herself in expensive lotions. They also supposedly haven’t had sex in 18 months.
who in their right mind would do it with “fake dr.” phil? he totally gives off an creepy old guy vibe.
*shudder*
A great big ‘WTF?!’ to all those covers.
Atleast Angelina’s desperate mumblings got her a cover. The movie will probably still dud badly.
Don’t you just love tabloids?
changeling is getting terrible reviews all around. don’t think she’s going to win an oscar for this one either.
Syko – I’m with you on this one. Imagine, we would have to read about the upcoming elections instead of some nice juicy or romantic gossip. That’d be very very hard on us 🙂 So please, Celebs, you know the stake, and please follow Syko, the wording is much better than mine 😉
Angelina’s desperate mumblings?
You mean answers to questions that were asked of her? 🙄
At least Angelina’s desperate mumblings got her a cover.
-hateful little crackhead-
The tabs have kept the AJ/JA fires burning so far past their f’in shelf life, it’s unreal !! No wonder Jenn’s fans can’t get past it.
How in the WORLD does admitting that she fell in love with him before his divorce = cheating?
I was in love with my 2nd husband before I divorced my first…but I never so much as had a coffee with him alone until after divorce was filed and I had been out on my own for several months. Brad Pitt immediately took up with Angelina Jolie after the divorce announcement, but it was AFTER they announced a separation. That’s not cheating. That’s saying, “Honey…our marriage is over. It’s been over a long time. I’ve met someone and I need to end this so I can go be with her, now.” That’s not cheating. Even if he didn’t tell Aniston that he was leaving to be with Jolie…it’s still not cheating. If you want to be cynical and believe they were banging each other before he left Jennifer, that’s up to you…but you don’t KNOW that to be the case.
Seriously. This “homewrecker” stuff is just as pathetic as calling Jennifer Aniston “desperate.” Jennifer Aniston doesn’t care about any of this stuff any more than the average ex-wife does after a number of years.
She has her own life. Her fans, however…wow.
Angelina Jolie is not a homewrecker. She’s a woman who fell in love with a man who had already fallen out of love with his wife. Women can’t steal anything that does not wish to be stolen. A marriage, two pregnancies, and six kids after the Pitt/Aniston divorce…people should seriously get over it.
Well said aspen!
Kate! LOL! I was just gonna say that.
Who would WILLINGLY sleep with Dr. Phil????????? That is just horrifying.
