Classic Enquirer

Filed under: Media

Phew! I was beginning to worry that the National Enquirer was going legit, but alas… they are back in fine form this week.

A boozing Katie (complete with unflattering pic)? Check.

A penny-pinching Oprah? Check.

Domestic violence/Warring spouses? Check, and check.

Anything related to Jennifer Aniston? Check.

At least six exclamation points to underscore drama? Check.

The only sensational elements missing are an alien lovechild, a housebound 1,000 lb. man and a smirking Matt Lauer saying, “Told you so.”

Welcome back, Enquirer!

GQ Has Fun at JT’s Expense

Filed under: Media

In a move that likely has GQ staffers giggling at the water cooler and Justin Timberlake scowling even harder over those “spin doctoring” celebrity magazines, GQ published a photo of the SexyBack singer shaving his head — no doubt taken well before Britney Spears’ “Shearsgate” debacle — juxtaposed with a quote referring to an entirely different incident (in which fans believed yet again that he was delivering a veiled message to his ex).

And… voila! Instant scandal.

According to diehard Justin-Britney fans, however, Justin has indeed developed a covert language to communicate with …

Filed under: Media

“Shock jock” Don Imus is known for his inflammatory remarks, but recently reached a new low, even for him.

The “Imus In The Morning” host ignited a Michael Richards-like racial uproar on his WFAN and MSNBC show this week when he labeled the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed ho’s” after their loss in the NCAA Championship game to Tennessee.

The exchange went like this:

IMUS: “That’s some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos …”

SHOW PRODUCER: “Some hard-core hos.”

IMUS: “That’s some nappy-headed hos there, I’m going to tell you that.”

CANDY: Dude. White guys have …

Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper Forced ‘Out’

Filed under: Media

Out magazine has anointed Anderson Cooper and Jodie Foster as two of America’s 50 most powerful gay people — but it’s not likely that the CNN anchor and the Oscar winner will be thanking the editors.

Critics within the gay community are blasting the mag for essentially outing Anderson and Jodie in the new issue.

“Your right to privacy is a constitutional right,” says Chris Ciompi, editorial director of Genre, Out’s major competitor. “Maybe Jodie and Anderson would prefer to be known for their work, not their sexuality. The climate of the United States today still would …

The formerly Brangelina-worshipping tabloids have been skewering Angelina Jolie lately — “Her Twisted Double Life!” “Brangelina’s Sex Life Fizzles!” — likely because they’re tired of getting repeatedly scooped by People magazine with exclusive photos of their children.
