What goes on tour doesn't stay on tour
Whether it's Hollywood stars flying solo or footy players being sold out to the tabloids, the gossip hounds are always watching.
Hooray! The mags have excelled themselves this week, with every one having something decent to read and tales of busty babes, royal romances and a night on the tiles, McConaughey style. Shall we begin?

He may be about to enter into fatherhood, but that hasn't stopped our favourite little-limbed bongo playing bad boy, Matthew McConaughey, from living it up.

Leaving his very pregnant baby mama at home in LA Matt headed for Nicaragua, where he spent his nights hitting on birds and downing booze. Whiskery photos accompany, with more than a touch of the red eye. Matt enjoyed himself so much, in fact, that he was completely blotto by 11pm and lost one of his jandals, not to mention his dignity.

In a rare turnout for the gossip mags, the star in question has actually confirmed their story.

"Drunk? Absolutely!" he admits. "Nicaragua is a beautiful place, epic waves, the best surfing (trip) I have ever been on. And yes, I'm still looking for my flip flop."

Woman's Day run this week with exclusive photos of English rugby player Mike Tindall and his royal girlfriend, Zara Phillips, in Christchurch for the English team's recent pasting by the All Blacks.

Zara's smiling, despite being in Christchurch in winter. The royal was just ruled out of the Beijing Olympics after an injury to her horse, Toytown, but the Day reports Zara looking happy as Larry while on her fleeting Kiwi visit. The mag strongly insinuates that a royal engagement may be on the cards once the pair return to Britain.

Could they beat out Prince Premature Balding and Kate "Vanilla" Middleton to the royal altar? I hope so. I like the look of those two. He's a better bet than any of those other flopsy-haired toffs in the English rugby team, and she looks like she could down a few Jagerbombs and then belt out a couple of tunes on the Singstar.

Ugh! Eva Longoria Parker is snapped pimping out her European holiday with her hubby Tony in OK!. Mysteriously, photographers showed up on every stop on Eva and Tony's recent getaway to France, Italy and Switzerland, and always seem to just manage to snap totally posed shots of the pair.

I must be seeing things, because a grim-faced Eva was just snapped in LA a couple of days ago wearing a t-shirt saying ‘I Want More Privacy.' Puh-lease! That woman wants more privacy as much as I want to listen to Mariah Carey records all day.

Bec and Lleyton Hewitt grace OK!'s front cover from their house in Wimbledon, and reveal that they're expecting baby number two. Their two year old daughter Mia has turned into quite the cutie-patootie, despite initial misgivings on my part in her younger days.

Forget the All Blacks, you mummies and daddies out there. Tennis and golf is where the real money is, so if you want to sponge off your kids in your old age get little Zach and Isabella some golf clubs and a tennis racket, stat!

New Idea lands a Kiwi exclusive this week, interviewing the girl who made sexy times with English rugby player David Strettle on the fateful night of the team's loss to the All Blacks in Auckland. ‘England Rugby Date Girl: ‘I'm Not A Slapper,' reads the headline. I think the combined populations of Britain and New Zealand would beg to differ, Sophie Lewis.

It's a hard life for Sophie, having to "call to tell her parents that intimate details of her sex life had been plastered all over the website of the UK's biggest-selling tabloid newspaper." Um, yes, as they would be when you sell your story to them. She felt ‘forced' into telling her story to the News of the World, my bastion of British smut.

The weekly Jennifer Aniston rundown: no husband, but a stalker. Is contemplating a $40,000 boob job (are the implants made of gold for $40k?), and currently following boyfriend John Mayer around Europe. Her name is also a dirty word in the Jolie-Pitt household, apparently.

Is the Angie and Billy Bob show not quite over yet? The pair of horny devils were married for three years and B-Bob recently hit the headlines after Angelina told a mag she still "loves him dearly and thinks the world of him."

"She is just going through her high-school phase," was his reply. "You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She'll be waking up from that dream in no time."

Brad apparently isn't too pleased at his eight months pregnant girlfriend's declaration of love for another guy, especially as he's not allowed to whisper a mention of Jen or any other of his celebrity exes. What's good for the goose does not seem to be what's good for the gander in this case, especially when the gander is a bit whipped.

As I filled you in one last week, NW reports that Katherine Heigl's big mouth has got her into trouble in Hollywood. The phrases ‘egotistical on-set behaviour' and ‘spoiled princess' have been liberally bandied about, as well as this more to-the-point quote from a Hollywood source.

"She's mean to her fellow actors, rude to the crew and full of herself."

She could totally be friends with Naomi Campbell! Somebody hook them up.

Ashlee Simpson may be a responsible mama to be and Mrs Pete Wentz these days, but a shock confession has revealed she was on the fast train to Boozehoundville before finding out about her pregnancy, which NW insists is twins.

"It was even getting to the point where I'd have a mimosa at breakfast, a margarita or two at lunch, wine with dinner, and party into the night."

The article is accompanied by some historical pictures of Ashlee in various states of inebriation, including jumping on the counter at McDonalds and what looks like burping into the microphone. Which is fine. The girl is only 23. We've all had those times when slept all night with our heels on or fell asleep holding on to a kebab. No-one? Just me? Okay.

A show of hands, please. Has anyone seen the four horsemen of the Apocalypse today? If NW's rumours are true that Paris Hilton and Benji Madden have a baby on board, then those four purveyors of doom will certainly be galloping past your window at some stage soon.

Their parents have met, their brother and best friend are romantically entangled, and they've been going out for a whole four months! Sounds like a match made in heaven. If you were 15.

As a total aside, has anyone else noticed how much Benji Madden looks like Boy George without his ever-present hat on?

And in wonderfully appropriate news this week, 40,000 copies of Jordan and Peter Andre's album Sounds From The Pits Of Hell, I mean, A Whole New World, have been found rotting in a British shed. They used to just sound like crap, now they're covered in bird crap too.

And that's all from the mags this week!
