In the gossip mags
Love, marriage, divorce...and all the little dalliances in between.
As wedding season approaches, brides everywhere go on diets and the rest of us wonder what on earth we're going to wear and whether the happy couple really do need another white serving platter. Then we buy them one anyway.

And in the spirit of getting hitched, Woman's Day finally got its hands on the official post-engagement follow up with Kiwi supermodel and Glenfield-girl-turned-good Rachel Hunter and her Canadian toyboy fiancé, Jarret Stoll.

They met when Our Rach took hockey-mad son Liam to watch Jarret's team, the Edmonton Oilers, play. Her kids and her mum were involved in the proposal at swanky Auckland boutique hotel, Mollies, a couple of months ago. All the details are in the mag. Rachel looks great - being betrothed to someone not the age of her father obviously suits her.

Behold the pics! There's gallivanting in the sand with a shirtless Jarret on top of his missus (ooer!) There's plenty of snaps of that humungous engagement ring, for the buying of which Jarret enlisted the help of Rachel's sister, Jacqui. It's very nice. I covet.

Otherwise the interview is plenty of gushing and swooning. And why not? He's a bit of alright.

They always do say payback's a bitch, and while I wouldn't stake my life on the truth of this story it's an entertaining read nonetheless.

Angelina Jolie doesn't seem like she's scared of much, but the Day reports the actress fears a bit of karma heading her way. After her recent admission that she and Brad Pitt fell in love on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith, when Mr Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, Angie is said to be a bit worried about Brad's latest beautiful co-star.

That would be beautiful German actress Diane Kruger, who played Helen in that rather rubbish movie Troy Brad worked on a few years ago. Diane was married then. She's since divorced, but is in a long-term relationship with Dawson's Creek actor Joshua Jackson.

Word is Jen didn't trust Ms Kruger with her hubby then either. But I'd believe that. While Jennifer seems painfully insecure, Angie doesn't seem the kind of lady to be rattled by a good-looking starlet. I mean, she's hardly on the scrapheap herself.

Diane and Brad have been pushed together again through working on Quentin Tarantino's latest flick Inglourious Basterds. Yes, he's spelt it like that on purpose. No, I don't know why. But then I never understood why the guy insists on giving himself roles in his own movies either.

Apparently Brad hasn't been acting like a sensible father of six kids while filming in Berlin, ‘whooping it up' (their words!) with the cast and crew in the German capital.

K-a-r-m-a!

NW picks up the ball and runs with it. Apparently Angie dropped the Mr and Mrs Smith bomb after being irked in a major way when she heard rumours that Jen tried to meet up with Brad at the Toronto Film Festival a couple of months ago.

Sigh! I love the goss as much as the next person, but will there ever be an end in sight to this Brad-Angelina-Jennifer love triangle? They'll be writing about these three when the lot of them are in the old folks' home. It'll be all ‘Angie makes sexy eyes at another man over tapioca,' and ‘Maddox causes scandal by going to visit Jen.'

Meanwhile, OK reports that Jennifer Aniston has her hands full with not one, but two, Hollywood hunks.

Jen has been having cozy dates both with her rocker ex-boyfriend and Scottish actor Gerard Butler. Now anyone who reads this blog knows I think John Mayer is a A-grade wiener, so Gerry Butler would be the one getting my vote. The mag calls him John ‘The Player' Mayer. I can think of a few more choice names for the guy.

Hollywood's patron saint of singledom is more than aware of her reputation for being unlucky in love.

"If you told me when I was 25 that I'd still be unmarried and childless at 40, I'd have laughed in your face," she has said. I'd feel a bit sorry for her if she didn't come across as so damn needy.

Online there are plenty of rumours that Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty are on the rocks as the actor refuses to file for divorce from wife Rosetta. In the NW, however, the two have a carriage fully booked and paid for on the Love Train - heading to Romanceville with an extended stop in PDA-town.

They're on holiday on the Amalfi coast. Balthazar looks very grey for a 33-year-old. Sienna's got a great bikini body. Almost enough for me to consider throwing away the rest of the giant Toblerone bar in my fridge.

I said almost.

As we all know love is a many-splendoured thing, but when you do it Miller-Getty style love means...flossing your boyfriend's teeth in public. Ewwww!

Will Victoria Beckham send a chaperone to Milan with hunky hubby David? While the mags ponder life's important questions, like how the Beckhams are going to manage cross-continental love, check out the pictures in OK! to see Victoria dressed in baggy jeans, a t-shirt and jandals! No designer handbag or six inch heels in sight. And believe it or not, being a soccer mum really looks like it suits her.

Almost everyone has the pics of Gwen Stefani's new baby, Zuma, which emerged online last week. Be still my twitching ovaries! His name may sound like a new breed of kiwifruit, but he is adorable. The Day says he's named after LA's Zuma Beach, where daddy Gavin Rossdale had "some sort of career epiphany."

New Idea leads this week with Hilary Barry and her family health issues. And charity work. Yawn. This woman is far too respectable for the gossip rags. Scandal, please!

NW is more successful along the gossipy lines, leading this week with ‘How stars really get skinny.'

Which, basically, is the trend to substitute food (eating is so passé!) with any sort of artificial aid to get skinny fast.

How could you go out to dinner with someone and drink one glass of juice while they chowed down, as reports say Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross does while dining out with her husband?

Does Lindsay Lohan take ADD medication to get slim? Paris Hilton's also turned a bit Bony Moloney, ‘prompting renewed fears that she's turned to party drugs to lose weight.' The shot they've run of Tara Reid's lumpy ass and puckered stomach will give you nightmares for a week! Shudder. Think happy thoughts....

"Those disastrous procedures wouldn't have been necessary had Tara not chosen a liquid diet of endless alcohol over food," snipes the NW. Ouch!

One former skinny Minnie who seems to look better every time I see her is Nicole Richie, and it's she and babydaddy Joel Madden on the front of OK! this week. Let's just say she scrubs up a lot better than he. Whatever you're doing Nicole, keep it up! You look fab. And Joel, ditch the bumfluff.

Wouldn't Justin Timberlake and Rihanna make a hot couple? I don't fancy Justin in the slightest, and I've nothing against Rihanna's R&B boyfriend Chris Brown, but the NW reports that Jessica Biel is seething after the Barbadian beauty filmed a music video with JT for her new single.

"Whispers about their incredible sexual chemistry left her reeling," the mag reports, and apparently "everyone on the shoot was gossiping about how Justin jumped on every opportunity he could to touch Rihanna."

Which I can kind of understand because Rihanna is a bona fide hottie, whereas Jessica Biel has all the sex appeal of a parsnip.

And that's all from the mags this week!

I wouldn't be worried either If I was Angelina. He would have too much child support if he stuffed things up! Six kids?! Zuma is one cute baby. Very adorable..

In relation to your whole article..payback is a [profane]...and to Angie..what goes around around comes all the way back around...I kinda disagree with you on the Jennifer thing..the media blew her'needy' image way up. Like the saying goes..'IF THEY DO IT WITH YOU,THEY WILL DO IT TO YOU!
