This Week In Tabloids: Here Are Stalkerazzi Photos of Kristen Stewart Kissing a Married Man
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we grade the gossip from In Touch, Us, Ok!, Life & Style, and Star. This week, Us earns an A+, for printing photographs and an eyewitness account of Kristen Stewart kissing and embracing director Rupert Sanders at various locations in L.A. The other so-called news — Kim K’s diet; Suri’s daddy issues — just pales in comparison. Okay, it is exciting that Michelle Williams and Jason Segel are engaged. But still. We grade on a curve. Let’s get right to it, shall we?
Ok!
“7 Lbs In 7 Days”
Would you like to know the secrets of Kim Kardashian’s “super-fast slimdown”? No gluten, sugar, or dairy. Also that Quick Trim stuff. Yawn. Also inside: Demi Moore’s kids have been bad-mouthing her, which Bruce Willis finds unacceptable, yippe ki yay. Teen Mom‘s Jenelle is back together with America’s favorite “drfter,” Kieffer Delp. Emma Roberts’s new boyfriend is American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters. Emily The Bachelorette is not going away just because her show ended: She and her giant veneers want to have a TV career. Talk show, for starters. Last, but not least, Katie Holmes was seen scribbling in a notebook so the story is all about her “SECRET DIARY” and how she “spills her emotions” onto the page. But, you know, she could have been writing down a Jamba Juice order.

Life & Style
“The Worst Week Of My Life.”
That cover line is not a direct quote from Kourtney, but you knew that. Scott Patrick Bateman Disick is “humiliating” Kourtney Kardashian “again” by partying while she is home with a newborn. Okay, sure. As long as he doesn’t put on a vinyl raincoat, switch on some Phil Collins and pull out the old chainsaw. Also inside: Demi Moore is seeing Martin Henderson, a hot actor who was in a Britney video, used to be Heath Ledger’s roommate, and is hot. The story about Emily The Bachelorette’s “secret prenup” with Jef With One F is really just a story about how fucking rich they both are. Jef owns People Water, drives a $110K Audi, his dad is a multimillionaire — a board member of the World Financial Group — and the house he grew up in has nine bedrooms, a pool and a mini-golf course. Her father owns several coal mines. Just set me on fire now, why don’t you? Last, but not least: Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have moved in together; he just bought a $3 million place in Soho, which is spittin’ distance from the Gawker office, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

In Touch
“I Want To Live With Daddy.”
Suri’s life is messy right now, and Christ, imagine being a child whose parents are getting divorced and seeing your face and these words on a newsstand? Or how she will feel about it when she is 15? Or 25? Anywhoozle. Suri cried on a Delta flight from Detroit to New York and a fellow passenger heard her say she wanted to be with Daddy. Ugh, can we move on? Can we talk about something less heartbreaking? Like how Hank Jr. is my new curly hair inspiration? (Fig. 1) In Bachelorette news, Emily’s first choice was Arie, but he dumped her, and producers had to persuade him to make it look like she rejected him. Demi Moore went hiking in a remote area with her new man, Martin Henderson, who is hot, and “felt comfortable enough to squat behind a tree and relieve herself.” Which brings up two questions: 1. If you are hiking with a new man, are you supposed to HOLD your pee? 2. Who is the source on this, the tree? Moving along, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino gives an exclusive interview to the mag in which he reveals that he knew he had to quit painkillers while watching a Brittany Murphy movie on TV. He describes his epiphany thusly: “All of a sudden, I was like, ‘Wait, didn’t she die on prescription painkillers? That could be me… Am I going to be that guy that was so awesome on the Jersey Shore and then… that’s it?” Sitch, here’s a grenade for ya: With or without drugs (and definitely without the “so awesome”), you will still be “that guy that was on Jersey Shore and then that’s it.” Real talk. Here’s a new take on skinny stars: “Has Dieting Ruined Their Looks?” For Ali Larter, Jada Pinkett Smith, Ashley Greene, Jennifer Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Ali Lohan, and Fiona Apple, the answer, according to a “celebrity diet expert” who has never worked with any of the stars in the story, the answer is: Yes. (Fig. 2)
