This Week In Tabloids: Ryan & Sandy Plan Barefoot Barbecue Wedding
CelebritiesWelcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we dig through the dirt for truffles of truth in In Touch, Us, Ok!, Life & Style, and Star. This week, Jennifer Aniston’s new boyfriend is totally going to beat up Brad Pitt behind the school at 3 o’clock; Suri Cruise’s lipstick is one step on a slippery slope into teen drug addiction; and Ryan Reynolds might be dating Olivia Wilde, but that won’t keep him from getting hitched to Sandra Bullock and serving jambalaya at their down-home barbecue wedding. Let’s do this.
Ok!
“I’ve Been Living A Lie!”
Hey so remember last week when Brad Pitt said that when he was younger, he was a boring slacker stoner? And that his marriage “had something to do with it,” because he was “trying to pretend the marriage was something it wasn’t”? Well that’s the cover story here. Nothing more to add. In other news, George Clooney likes Stacy Keibler because she is great in social settings and isn’t clingy. Are Kim Kardashian and Kris Humprhies headed for an annulment? In a word, no. But Kris finds married life hard, because they have no privacy. Also, he cannot get over how long Kim takes to get her hair and makeup done. But, a source says, “They talked it over and realized that her getting primped is as important for her job as basketball practice is for his career.” Christ. Last, but not least, there’s a story here called “Top 10 Stars In Need Of A Cupcake,” because concern trolls are concerned.

Life & Style
“Trapped In Tom And Katie’s Warped World”
This story is called “Little Girl Lost,” just like the Drew Barrymore book, because clearly Suri is two or three days away from snorting an eight ball in a hot tub with Charlie Sheen. The opening paragraph is so epic:
Wearing a Philip Lim miniskirt, dark-red lipstick and an angsty glare, Suri Cruise looked just like any other rebellious, Gossip Girl-loving teen skpping school… Except Suri is only 5 — and she was missing her second day of kindergarten to attend Fashion Week in New York. Instead of learning to count to 50 or print upper-case letters, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter was lost in a parade of flashbulbs, skinny models and expensive couture.
You see, guys, poor innocent Suri is “suffering” by having treats for breakfast, private ballet lessons and a $2 million wardrobe. The horror! Next: “Is LeAnn Anorexic?” A doctor who does not treat her says “maybe.” She wore a Hervé Léger bandage dress and it hung off of her, plus, she has fine hair on her arms, which could be the peach fuzz anorexics get. Alas, since the doctor has never met his patient, this diagnosis is invalid. Next, Pippa is moving in with Kate Middleton; the sisters will live together in London’s Kensington palace while Prince William is away in Wales. If only this were a BBC drama! A cross between Downton Abbey and Three’s Company. Sisters, roommates, royalty! Scarlett Johansson is “desperate for love,” so she’s been hanging out with Kieran Culkin, Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper. So the mag claims “Her Life’s Spun Out Of Control.” Lastly, if your last name is Kardashian, you are contractually obligated to wear a leopard-print jumpsuit. (see Fig. 1)
