This Week in Tabloids: Jen Aniston's Body Requires 600-Word Explainer
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness, in which Callie Beusman and I attempt to frolic through the fields of the celebrity tabloids. This week, the Kardashians have issues, Jessica Simpson is happy yet destroyed, and Jennifer Aniston’s body needs an explanatory essay. Are you ready for this?
Ok!
“IT’S A GIRL!”
Let’s start this off by saying “it” is not a girl, because there is no “it.” Following an outing during which Kourtney worse a LOOSE WHITE TOP over SHORTS, some have speculated that she and Scott “American Psycho” Disick might be “preparing” to “welcome another baby.” It would be nice if it were a girl, says a source. Kourtney loves girls. Also: “She loves being pregnant, it just kind of suits her.” Oooookay. Moving on: Amanda Bynes has been transferred to a bigger psychiatric facility with more staff. An insider reports it’s because she’s constantly trying to leave the building, so she needs more supervision. Elsewhere in the mag, the editors have concocted a “best man battle” between George Clooney and Doug Pitt, Brad’s brother. George has been bribing Brad with his Lake Como villa, whereas Doug has been bribing him with his strong Midwestern family values and ethics. Don’t discount the “dark horse candidate,” though, OK! warns: 12 year old Maddox could do it. Oh, God, how will we all live with the suspense? In a heartwarming tale of romance and passion, Tom Cruise has “fallen” for Jessica White, a model and fellow Scientologist. “Fallen for” might be Scientologist code for “auditioned as a girlfriend candidate and compensated financially.” Awwww. Another tale of love: Simon Cowell’s mom is pressuring him to marry Lauren Silverman, his pregnant girlfriend. The v-neck-clad professional television bully won’t be swayed, though — apparently, he’s been spotted cavorting about with two separate ex-girlfriends. Sad face.

“BABY JOY & DRAMA!”
In which the magazine inserts fabricated “baby drama” into three celebrity pregnancies: Kris Jenner had a meltdown about her ratings and forced Kim and Kanye to debut Baby Nori on her talkshow! Kim Zolciak is scared that having twins will be overwhelming! Fergie’s pregnancy has gone really well but… um… might as well be worried anyways, says an ob-gyn who is not Fergie’s ob-gyn. Yawn. In other news, Faith Hill is worried that Taylor Swift will hook up with her husband, Tim McGraw, the magazine inexplicably alleges. Elsewhere on this earth, a terrifying stranger was living in J-Lo’s pool house and masturbating on her lawn for six days. He also did some landscaping to pass the time. He has been taken into police custody. And now let’s check in on some of the most boring and insignificant humans on the planet: “Real” “Housewife” of Miami Joanna Krupa says that her husband won’t have sex with her. What follows is the most painfully awkward exclusive interview ever printed in earnest. Don’t worry, though, guys — the couple is now in sex therapy.
