Quickies: Katie Holmes Isn’t A Drug Addict After All & Check Out Jon Hamm Looking Hawt!

Jessica WakemanApril 27, 2011 //
  • Star magazine apologized to Katie Holmes for saying she uses drugs in a January issue with the headline “Katie Drug Shocker!” (The drugs Katie supposedly “uses”? Endorphins she gets from a reading by a Scientology e-meter. Yeah, lame.) The mag will make “substantial donation” to a charity of Katie’s choice “for any harm we may have caused,” according to a statement in its latest issue. Next up, Star will apologize to every single female actress whose lunchtime burrito was proclaimed “a bun in the oven”! [TMZ, PopEater]
  • Pink was snapped — literally — barefoot and pregnant at the grocery store. EW. [RadarOnline]
  • Uh oh. Angelina from “Jersey Shore” is pregnant. Put down that Long Island iced tea immediately, young lady. [TMZ]
  • Oh, hells yeah, there’s a royal title name generator! From henceforth I shall be known as Princess Jessica Musgrave Wakemanskitt of New York Cityport. [E! Online]

Yeah. Star Magazine Went There.

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 2, 2011 //

In celebrity “journalism,” there are few rules. An Us Weekly article on, say, Jennifer Aniston wanting to adopt a baby could be filled with nothing but quotes from unnamed sources. Cover lines asserting that “Sandra Bullock Takes Jesse Back!” or “Jessica Simpson Is Getting Cold Feet!” often pertain to a story that says something far less OMG, like that Sandra and Jesse supposedly had a pleasant phone conversation or Jessica was spotted looking “sad” one day. But generally, when it comes to children — specifically the children of celebrities — tabloid magazines play it safe, focusing on photos of the tots looking adorable or incredibly wordy stories about their extravagant birthday parties. But not Star! This week’s issue of the magazine features a cover story alleging that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s twins, Vivienne and Knox, have Down Syndrome. A story like this doesn’t just toe the line of inappropriate, it crosses it, loops back around, and crosses it again. Keep reading »

Tori Spelling Offers To Step On A Scale For Star Magazine

This week’s Star proclaims that a “95 lb” Tori Spelling collapsed because she was so thin and fragile. Spelling responded by taking to her Twitter and daring them to come over, scale in hand, for a little tea weighing session. Dude, what if they say yes? [Twitter] Keep reading »

Star Mag’s Earth-Shattering Exclusive: Celebrity Crow’s Feet & Blackheads!

Who doesn’t love a good celebrity gossip rag mag? Sure, they’re our dirty little secret [Not so dirty, as my purse stuffed with Us Weekly and Life & Style can attest. -- Editor], equal to someone opening the top drawer of our nightstand. But like any gluttonous pleasure, sometimes they go too far — like this week’s Star magazine, which features “celebs without makeup”. Ooooh, booga-booga! Worse yet, one of their cover girls is 15-year-old celebuspawn and Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus. She’s a child star — frankly she should be makeup-free! And if you’re reading this, then I know you have at least a t-shirt older than her baby face. Plus the other girls they feature front and center, like Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Katie Holmes, are all 30 and under — oh the horror of seeing their actual pores, smile lines, and, ACK, zits! Star Magazine, forget about wrinkles, your “reporting” is starting to show cracks. [Star] Keep reading »
