When you think about it, it's got all the makings of a good movie really. The handsome movie star, the foxy temptress who spirits him away, the all-American wife spurned, and her douchey boyfriend.
Don't tell me Brad and Angie got seated right in front of that presenting podium, just three metres away from where Jen would be on stage, by accident. Oh no! The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may say it's all about the movie making process, but they love the drama as much as anyone.
The Day's front cover is taken up this week by the fancy four. The mag reports that Jen's appearance there was all about Brad, and she went out of her way to make her ex-husband see exactly what he's missing. First stop? Her loose, pretty hairdo.
"Jen really doesn't like her hair that way but it was Brad's favourite style. She knew that by wearing her hair that way it would turn Brad on."
The Aniston did look gorgeous, but petrified, at the Oscars. She and Jack Black (a buddy of Angie's) looked the least comfortable of all the presenting duos, and a few jokes they attempted to crack failed to fire.
An emotional person by her own admission, Jennifer cried on the way to the ceremony and almost ruined her makeup.
The mag goes on to say Angelina was miffed as Brad told her they shouldn't hold hands in front of his ex, referred to by Angie as ‘Little Miss Woe.'
But wait, there's more! And the news isn't good for Jennifer if the mag's body language expert has anything to do with it.
"Jen looked absolutely devastated...her facial expressions reeked of sadness and her sad eyes belied her force-lipped, phoney smile. She looked like she could cry at any moment."
Meanwhile, Angie "looked like the cat who ate the canary."
And people always wondered why Angelina doesn't have any girlfriends! Just saying.
Angelina, for all her huffing and puffing previously about ‘welcoming' a chance to meet up with Jen, legged it out of the theatre and didn't attend any post-awards parties.
The same runs on the front of OK!, which reports the pair still love each other and that "once her eyes met Brad's that night, it rekindled all the old feelings. She has never stopped loving Brad."
The Weekly is singing a different tune, reporting that it's still war between the threesome. "Jennifer showed she still loves Brad, he was upset she was there and Angelina thought Jen was looking to steal him back with her smiles. The feud is still on."
Ding ding! Get set for round 5,745 of this particular bout.
New Idea and the Woman's Weekly are both running stories about Kate Winslet's actress sisters, although the Weekly, which leads with it, has taken a rather more melodramatic stance.
"Revealed: Kate's Hidden Shame" the mag toots. Hidden shame, that her actress sisters aren't famous? Wow, I'm surprised she can hardly lift her head off the pillow of a morning with the ‘shame' of all that. Was that really the worst dirt they could dig up on her?
Sayeth New Idea: "Her sisters Beth and Anna are struggling for success and worried about paying the bills.
Should Kate apologise for that?
The Weekly says both sisters Anna, 36, (good name!) and Beth (30), have part-time jobs to supplement their acting work and drive old cars. They don't want handouts from their sister, and "both have refused to read scripts that Kate has sent them, or to be set up with potentially useful contacts."
So if the family doesn't want handouts from their famous sister, why does it seem that Kate's getting ragged on for not sharing the spoils of her success? It just sounds narky.
I know that's rich coming from me, but you get my point.
"Kate may have a $30 million fortune, but there's scant evidence it has trickled down to the rest of the clan," says the Weekly.
The mags even use the same family photo and the same photo of Kate, her Oscar and her parents.
Could Rihanna have been pregnant at the time Chris Brown allegedly gave her the beat down? Woman's Day and New Idea both float this theory, although there's scant evidence bar someone saying they saw her outside the doctor's office and she looked ‘totally uncomfortable.'
Perhaps she was going for a smear test? Or she was constipated? Sure there's a million and one reasons you could be looking uncomfortable at the doctor's office, particularly when awkward poking and prodding awaits.
NI says the pop star confided to friend "that she thought she was pregnant - and scared of what Chris' reaction would be."
And with the news that Rihanna and Chris have reunited in Miami, this one looks set to run. I'll keep you posted.
The Woman's Day claims Prince Harry is being comforted after his recent breakup with Chelsy Davy by none other than Aussie singer Natalie Imbruglia.
Nat (34) and Harry (24), met through mutual pal, Richard Branson's son Sam, about a year ago, and recently the prince turned up at a party she threw in London.
The Weekly and New Idea are running the same, with NI even going as far as to declare that "pop princess Natalie Imbruglia may soon boast the letters HRH after her name if her budding relationship with Prince Harry keeps heating up."
Talk about putting the fancy cart before the pedigree horse.
Apparently the fact that he was spotted laughing at some text messages while at a footy game the day after Natalie's bash means the pair are definitely, unequivocally getting it on.
Is Kabbalah turning on Madonna? Word is despite the huge financial support the Material Girl gives the faith, senior Kabbalah followers aren't best pleased about her recent ‘cavorting'.
I love that word. Cavorting!
Considering it's Madonna, I don't know why they're surprised. You'd think a 25 year track record would give her game away.
"Flaunting herself with this new man and taking suggestive sexual pictures with him when her divorce is still fresh and her children are vulnerable doesn't square up with any of our directions on the spiritual journey and inner growth of Kabbalah followers."
Word is that when her ex, Sean Penn, saw Madonna at an Oscars after-party with her toyboy Jesus Luz (dubbed ‘baby Jesus' by the paps) he quipped "another kid already?" I so hope this is true!
The Weekly rates it worth a mention that Victoria Beckham snubbed Katie Price at Elton John's Oscar bash. From Katie's Oscars outfit it looks like she went out without a bra on those mammoth bosoms, which troubles me. Friends don't let friends leave the house with a huge expanse of droopy side boob.
Jordan! Now there's one person I'd stake my life on never winning an Oscar.
The Weekly also reports that Victoria's huge amount of air travel between LA and Milan could take its toll on her physically - risking "exhaustion, dry skin, deep-vein thrombosis, and air bubbles in her breast implants."
She's a bit mature for the term ‘weathergirl,' but weatherwoman Toni Marsh is in the Day this week after a year which involved turning 40, losing her brother, and accepted a marriage proposal from her partner, Paul.
She has a novel approach to the pair's six-year age gap. (Paul's 34.)
"The age difference is good because women usually outlive men, so we'll probably go to the other side together!"
Is Nicole Kidman pregnant? Or does she just enjoy making everyone think she is? And do we care anymore? See pics of a supposed tummy bulge in the Day.
"She refused to be photographed side on," reports the mag, while running a photo of Kidman side on, with a hand on her belly, looking straight at the camera.
Everyone has pages and pages and pages of Oscar coverage, so you can check out the frocks to your heart's content!
Jade Goody's wedding photos, the ones OK! in Britain brought exclusive rights to for a pretty penny, are in the Aussie version of the mag this week.
"I've had the happiest day of my life," they quoted the 27-year-old bride, who has terminal cancer, as saying. "Now I'm ready to go to heaven."
Sniff! It's all so sad.
Her 21-year-old groom, on house arrest after a custodial sentence for attacking a teenager with a golf club, got special dispensation from Her Majesty's government to spend his wedding night with his frail wife.
You couldn't make it up.
Despite having no hair Jade looks radiant, and her two young sons look gorgeous over five pages of coverage of a classy, touching wedding.
The reality TV star is the one comforting friends and family around her as they struggle to deal with the thought of her death. And, as ever, she keeps her sense of humour.
"I keep telling them that whenever they think of me they have to look up into the sky where they'll see a bright shining star - but that won't be me. Just look for the fattest star up there, and that'll be me."
Harlow Madden is one of Tinseltown's most gorgeous tots, but she may have some more competition on that front with the news that mummy Nicole Richie is expecting another baby.
Daddy Joel Madden recently blogged "What's better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family."
I suspect the pregnancy may have come as a surprise to mummy Nicole, who told a mag in October when the ‘more kids' question was raised: "Oh absolutely. We're not rushing anything though! Oh my God, I need a nap first."
And that's all from the mags this week!
