What's in this week's tabloids 05/09/08NY DAILY NEWS/KRISSY MAC

Britney's got her sister back, her body back and maybe even her boys
back ... must have been a busy week. She's all smiles on Life & Style
("I Got My Body Back!") and OK ("Sisters Reunited!"). She looks a bit
like a lost eighth grader posing for her prom in the photo from her 16-
year-old sister, Jamie Lynn's, baby shower, but anything that reunites
her with her supportive, stable family is fine by us. Or just her
regular family. It's better than Adnan.
Here's what the mags are talking about this week ...
Mariah's wedding to Nick Cannon surprised everyone, especially since
the couple had been dating for only two months. One friend says they
actually met and clicked a few years ago, but she thought he was too
young for her then. So she canceled her birthday for the past few
years and now they're all good!
The Jolie-Pitt family has relocated to France, where they will stay
until the birth of their latest kid(s). For Maddox, Pax, Zahara and
Shiloh, it's just another vacation in another mansion, waiting for
another sibling or two, missing another two months of school. Same
old, same old.
Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds got engaged. That's great, but
did she have to cover her hands with glitter on the night she was
going to show off the ring? Is she 12?
I know it's called a COSTUME Institute Gala, but c'mon, there were
some serious doozies on the red carpet. Katie Holmes took a page right
out of the old J.Lo playbook and made her skin just orange enough to
match her dress. Amber Valletta and Naomi Watts took the "superhero"
theme a bit too literally. And Amanda Peet? I just had a nightmare
about her look and I'm not even sleeping.
"The Hills" feud simply will not die. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
continue to talk about Lauren Conrad's supposed "sex tape" whenever
they get the chance. Don't they feel a little bit sad that their fame
is based on somebody ELSE's sex tape? I mean, that's about as low on
the mooching pole as you can go.
Everyone's still abuzz about the steamy romance between Jennifer
Aniston and John Mayer. No, they haven't seen each other since their
first two dates last weekend.
Rob Lowe is in a bit of a mess, huh? Another nanny has stepped
forward, this time accusing his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, of a whole bunch
of awful things. I don't know who to believe in this whole story, but
maybe Rob and Sheryl should watch their own kids for a while.
Lindsay Lohan is all set to appear in the finale of "Ugly Betty" as a
former classmate of Betty's, as well as FIVE episodes next season.
Maybe Lindsay's "Ugly Betty" character could do a spin- off with
Britney's character from "How I Met Your Mother"?! Seriously, am I the
only one who thinks of these things? Why isn't this happening already?
Is Nicole Kidman giving birth to a baby or a bug? Where. Is. Her.
Bump?
Miley Cyrus performed at Disney World this week in a conservative
outfit and no makeup. Can you say Damage Control?
Baba Wawa is spilling secrets this week. While promoting her new book,
"Audition," on "Oprah," Barbara revealed she had an affair with a
married senator in the '70s. Edward Brooke will neither confirm nor
deny the allegations. Which means we're pretty sure Barbara ain't
lying.
Regarding her reality show, Denise Richards told Red magazine, "I'm in
a no-win situation. If I have [daughters] Lola and Sam in the show,
I'm exploiting them. If I don't, people will think I'm not a hands-on
mom." Um, she does realize that the whole reality show thing is
totally optional, right? How about not doing it at all? That might be
a win.
Gwyneth Paltrow promoted "Iron Man" in 7-inch heels last week, and
sales of stilettos reportedly skyrocketed (no pun intended). Seven-
inch heels! Why would she do this to womankind?
Jessica Simpson says before she met Tony Romo, other boyfriends made
her feel "that I had to be deeper, more profound." Ah, no wonder she
was so quiet.
People I've never heard of this week include: Whitney Cummings, Ashley
Jones, Zoe McLellan, Jennifer Murphy, Sara Paxton. Words I taught my
spell check this week include: Cummings, McLellan, Paxton.
Signing off with a quote,
What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth.
- Jewish proverb
But what if it's witnessed by a super-duper, high-tech, telephoto
lens? Is that okay?
