This Week in Tabloids: Angelina and Brad's 'Bizarre' Parenting Methods
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness. Every Wednesday, Callie Beusman heads to the newsstand to purchase the new issues of In Touch, Life & Style, Ok!, Us and Star, so that together we may dig into moist, rich celebrity tabloid dirt. This week: Tom Cruise is wearing his midlife crisis on his face; Kim Kardashian spent $23K on “fat-blasting”; and Angelina and Brad give their kids free reign. How bizarre. How bizarre, how bizarre.
Ok!
DIETS THAT WORK
Nothing shocking here. Kim Kardashian kwit karbs. Atkins for the win. Jessica Simpson is on Weight Watchers, which you knew. Britney Spears makes “smart choices,” which is shorthand for more proteins and smoothies. Melissa Joan Hart does Nutrisystem, Khloe Kardashian is a kalorie kutter, and Miranda Lambert is doing “good, clean livin.” Whoop de fucking doo. Also inside: Lindsay Lohan is desperate for money and Spongebob gets better ratings than her show. Finally: Katie Holmes and Jason Segel are dating and “she thinks he is wonderful.” Yawn.

WEDDING DIET
Lots of celebrities are on wedding diets, and since you’re DYING to hear about their eating and exercise regimens, here you are: Lauren Conrad eats kale and goes hiking; Jessica Simpson walks six miles a day; Kim Kardashian does 100 morning squats. Riveting stuff. In other news, the Royal Family traveled to New Zealand with an 11-person entourage that included Kate’s Royal Hairdresser (duh). The baby got testy because he is a baby who was made to go on airplanes. In other news, Courteney Cox and the guy from Snow Patrol moved in together and are “enjoying being in love.” That’s nice! Next: Rob Kardashian is in a “really dark place,” says a source — last week, he cryptically tweeted “No one will ever understand how much it hurts.” Yesterday he wrote “Life of Pi is on :)” so maybe he’s feeling better? Aaaaand nothing else remotely of note is contained in this magazine pages.
