Tabloids Critique the Celebrities, so We Critique the Tabloids!
First and foremost, prayers and healing vibes to Exodus, the daughter of Mike Tyson. The 4-year old suffered critical injury when her neck was caught in exercise equipment. She is on life support
Very sad.
OctoMel — Gibson and his Russian babe are expecting. Yawn. This is Gibson’s eigth child. I feel kind of sorry for his wife and other children. I wonder how they are doing? I hope his ex can find love and happiness herself.

Jon and Kate might split up. These Gosselins have intrigued me. I don’t have the patience to watch their show, as I am a busy person and don’t care for reality shows. I have my own marital tensions and bratty child incidents to keep me entertained. However, there is something about these two…he likes to get out and party and she is just…I don’t know…offputting. Aggressive? I’m eager to see their story play out, I hope whatever is best for the kids happens.

Kenda Wilkinson of Girls Next Door fame (it’s not fair to be so pretty!) is getting her own show entitled Kendra, which premieres on E! June 7. She is engaged to baller Hank Baskett and has said they want to be young parents.
Kendra is also coming out with a stripper pole workout that she says can get you in shape while teaching you how to be “…sexy for your man.”
Maybe it’s just that I’m a decade older than Kendra, or have been married for 11 years and had two children, but if I tried pole dancing for my husband he would probably give me golf claps and say “good job” as not to hurt my feelings or say, “move, you’re blocking the television.” One or the other.
It does sound fun, though. It is a workout I would do with a girlfriend or in private. Not for my man.

I quite enjoyed the May 4th edition of In Touch Weekly, headlining “Brad Moves Out”.

Though, I’m not quite sure I believe that story. Another magazine released a story that week claiming that Angelina Jolie is pregnant. If she’s pregnant, then Brangelina probably isn’t splitting up. However, it’s possible. Anything is possible with those two.
What really intrigued me this time was the smaller story inside about Gavin Rossdale and a British drag-queen rock star named “Marilyn”. Marilyn told In Touch that he and Rossdale were in a gay relationship lasting five years and that “he was the love of my life.” I must say, I would not have believed this had it not been for the photos of the two of them together, looking very “close”.
As I was reading the article, I marvelled over how much Gavin’s wife Gwen Stefani resembles this Marilyn character. I always did think Gwen looked like a drag queen, I thought. Then I turned the page and found that In Touch thinks the same! There was an insert titled “They have the same look!” which showed pictures of the two in similar outfits and poses. I guess now Gavin can satisfy his drag queen fantasies while playing it straight.
And of course, my favorite story in this issue was the Octomom story: “Octomom’s Lies Exposed”. This article focused mainly on Octomom’s stripper days, which were, apparently, DAYS with an “S” and not DAY. Three sources gave accounts of Nadya stripping over a period of time (though they didn’t say how long), and these sources provided their names and photos to the magazine, except for one, “Sage”, preferred not to give her real name, but she did offer a photo of herself. In the article was a picture of a contract that Nadya Suleman signed for private party dances. So we can conclude that Suleman lied about dancing “only for a day”, as well as other things. Oh, and her stripper name was Angelina. Guess she lied about not trying to look like Angelina too. Go figure.
The tabloids just can’t seem get it together, and I don’t know what to believe.
According to the Life & Style website, Nadya Suleman will be having a reality show about her and all her children. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see the article. This entry was dated April 15th, yesterday.

Yet, in an earlier issue, dated April 8th, Nadya said she wasn’t doing a reality show.
Also, on April 7th, In Touch reported that she WAS doing a reality show.
Then Perez Hilton reports that’s she’s not doing a reality show.
Various other blogs (too many to mention) are circulating the news around that the Octuplet Mom is going to do a reality show, including my blog. That’s the latest I’d heard until tonight. I’ll wait until tomorrow and see what the news is.
This is crazy. Either she is lying or the tabloids are lying. Either one is feasible.
Here is a new feature I’m playing around with that I call ‘Cover Wars.’ Basically we vote on the most intriguing tabloid cover of the week…Here they are:
In Touch — I will probably buy this one. I enjoy reading about all the Brangelina dysfunction. I am just waiting for that house of cards to come tumbling down. Farrah Fawcett…I heard she’s doing better but her son was arrested for drugs
Life & Style — Vom and gag. I might buy this for my BFF and read the Brangelina article but the sight of Octomom makes me sick. Especially when her crazy a** is on the cover of a tabloid like she’s famous for something other than having a ridiculous number of children.
OK! — While Lindsay’s meltdown looks intriguing, I am tired of all these weight loss stories. If I wanted weight loss advice I would pick up Fitness, Self, Shape or one of the countless other magazines that focus on this subject. I want GOSSIP, not diet tips.
Star — Yesss….Brit and K-Fed are bumping nasties again. I like them as a couple. I just do. They fit. As for the rest of the cover, meh. I really don’t care to read about the giant Summer’s Eve bottle known as Pete Wentz or Bruce Springsteen’s sexual escapades.
US — I might also buy this one because the stumbling train wreck known as Lilo fascinates me. Especially since it’s rumored she and Samantha Ronson are no more. I give them a week before they’re back together, fighting then having make-up sex. They need to go talk to Ellen and Portia for lesbian relationship advice. Then again, Lindsay could go back to men. LeAnn Rimes and her ‘affair’ — blah. Her husband looks ten different shades of gay.
Which covers do you find most fascinating, repellant or otherwise gossip worthy? Discuss!
XOXO
