This Week in Tabloids: An Invite to Ogle Angie's Post-Mastectomy Boobs
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness. Today, Callie Beusman galloped to the newsstand and picked up the latest issues of Us, Ok!, Star, In Touch and Life & Style, and we saddled up, riding through tabloid meadows on beasts of gossip. This week: Cory Monteith’s last days were dark; Demi Moore’s in the desert with a shaman; Caitlyn from Teen Mom is no longer engaged; and we’re encouraged to check out Angelina Jolie’s post-mastectomy “curves.” WTF.
Ok!
“Angie & Brad’s Pregnancy Shocker: TWINS AGAIN!”
A “Jolie-Pitt” friend tells the magazine that Angie and Brad have “plans to add to their brood,” as though they were pigeons or a family of field mice. According to the source, Angelina Jolie may or may not be looking into IVF, which will make her 22% more likely to have twins. There is no pregnancy, there are no Jolie-Pitt Twins 2.0, and there is no shocker. So that “twins ultrasound” on the cover? Some other twins. Google Image twins, or stock photo twins. NOT ANGELINA’S TWINS. Surprise! Next, according to an insider, Eva Mendes is plagued with jealousy because she thinks that “every girl in the world” is obsessed with her man, Ryan Gosling. “It’s teenagers, cougars, models, actresses, waitresses, everyone!” says the source. Yep, covered all the bases with those designations. Moving on: Robert Pattinson and Riley Keough are totally secretly in love. An insider says, “He loves that she’ll go into his kitchen for, like, 10 minutes and come back with a delicious bowl of pasta.” Okay. Lamar Odom threw a paparazzo’s equipment in the street for insinuating that he had been unfaithful, because he and Khloe are so in love. Also, in an exclusive interview about portraying a Native American, Jonny Depp literally says these words: “I do smoke the peace pipe… I like peace.” Oh, god.

“Lea’s Anguish: He Could Have Been Saved”
The story here claims that, before Cory Monteith’s tragic death, he was reportedly seen wandering a gritty area known for drug activity and crime at 9 am. A source close to Lea Michelle describes her as being “in a haze of disbelief”; she was Cory’s biggest supporter, and apparently can’t stop wondering if there was anything she could have done. On a surprisingly touching note, an editor writes that Lea should realize that “she gave Cory all she could: unwavering love and support.” Heartbreaking. Also in this issue: Teen Mom Catelynn Lowell’s wedding is off. Her longtime boyfriend, Tyler Baltierra, broke the news to her in therapy. During Vh1’s Couples Therapy, to be more specific. Vh1’s resident Couples Therapist doesn’t see it as a set back, though. Hmm. In a very late-to-the-party story, the mag prints a timeline of every person Amanda Bynes has called ugly, which includes a photograph of Drake’s mom. Totally not necessary, guys. Moving on: Things are apparently going poorly between Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, according to an eyewitness who detected “visible tension” between them last week because they were neither holding hands nor smiling after returning from a hike. Their hands were probably sweaty, eyewitness. Saving the worst for last, InTouch out-viles itself by printing a spread of Angelina Jolie’s “post-surgery curves” alongside an infographic of “Stars [Who] Went Smaller After Surgery.” Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.
