But now there's a black cloud looming on the Cox Arquette-Aniston horizon, and this time it's got nothing to do with Angelina Jolie. Three years after being sent a ticket to Dumpsville by Brad Pitt, Courteney's husband David has put his foot down about her needy best friend. She has a room at their house, for God's sake! With the Arquettes' marriage needing some work, David says enough of dealing with Jennifer's problems, and let's focus on us for a while.
The Aniston apparently didn't take this too well, giving Courteney what for and leading to a massive blowup. She will be throwing herself a pity party as we speak. She's already in the bad books for swearing around her three-year-old goddaughter, Coco. And New Idea reports Court and Dave put baby plans on hold to comfort Jennifer after her breakup with the Pittster. Jen, we all think you were hard done by losing your fella to that foxy minx, but build a bridge and get over it.
In other Arquette news, Paul McCartney is snapped in the New Idea with David's older sister Rosanna. Apparently there's been some smooching in the street in London, but this can't be confirmed by photo - although the two are pictured together looking relatively chummy. New Idea compares the look of Heather, first wife Linda and Rosanna, and deduces that he goes for "blue-eyed blondes with high foreheads."
Women's Weekly leads with Brad and Angie's saccharine declarations of love, but the interesting thing is down in the feature box on the page. Both Ange's marriages have lasted three years before the star got bored and filed divorce papers with lighting speed. The good-looking twosome are about to celebrate their third anniversary. Could Brangelina be history by the end of the year? I'm just saying.
Has David Beckham been busted? Infidelity rumours have always swirled around the best looking man in football, some much more plausible than others, but have always been strongly denied by Camp Beckham. Although Becks played it straight down the line on his recent trip to Wellington, NW insinuates that this wasn't always the case during his month long separation from Posh and his sons.
He's got plenty of opportunity with women throwing themselves at him every which way, but apparently a night out in Chicago was a cause for concern with 'cosiness' and 'whispering' on the cards with a cute brunette. Watch out, Dave. I reckon that Victoria would be a force to be reckoned with when she got mad. She could gouge you with her fingernails, and living a life of continual hunger would make her quick to anger.
Paris Hilton continues on her quest to make the world a better place since her release from prison - by grinding the pole at a New York nightclub. That's not hot was the word from onlookers.
Please, someone tell me the rumours of Britney Spears being in the family way again aren't true. Thing is, they very well could be - nothing about the erratic pop star could possibly surprise any more. She can't look after the two she has, the thought of another one on the way, nourished by a diet of cheeseburgers and frappucinos, is too depressing for words. If that isn't enough, the possible baby-daddy, record producer JR Rotem, looks like he may be missing a few chromosomes himself.
If I say all I want for Christmas is for Britney not to have another baby, do you think Santa could swing it?
In the gospel according to Woman's Day, the mag reports that plans are underway for an $86m wedding between Prince William and Vanillapants, aka Kate Middleton. $86 million! That dress better be made of solid gold, or Wills is ordering in one damn expensive toupe.
Love is in the air, with Silver Fern Jodi Te Huna and radio jockette Leah Panapa tying their respective knots. Expect New Idea to run the Doug Howlett-Monique Everard nuptials within the next couple of weeks - the second part of a hefty deal the mag locked the All Black and his missus into after the birth of their son.
Want to see what a billionaire baby looks like? Salma Hayek's nine week old daughter Valentina has it all - a movie star mum, a business tycoon father, billions in the bank - and she's cute to boot. Some girls have all the luck!
New Idea has the Witherspoon-Gyllenhaal farce progressing nicely, with diamond rings in the mix! NW reports that Reese is in the family way. Revealing a 'curvy belly' on the beach in California. Purely speculative, of course. She could just have eaten a pizza and had a beer.
Beyonce's got her booty back, and looks awesome for it after dropping the pounds and getting Hollywood-skinny for her role in Dreamgirls. But according to NW the resurgence of that bootylicious backside isn't cause for celebration with Beyonce turning to comfort eating in the face of romantic woes with her mogul man, Jay-Z.
"She lies in bed with the lights off and downs a pint of ice cream and sometimes even falls asleep with the spoon still in her hand," says 'a source.'
All three mags have pics from the Qantas TV Awards held in Auckland a couple of weeks ago, and let's just say the Oscars have nothing to worry about. But Robyn Malcolm's champagne cocktail dress is just divine, as was Carol Hirschfeld's Collette Dinnigan gown. I want!
NW features Crocs in their 'History of the 10 Weirdest Footwear Fads'? and I totally second the comment that the ugly rubber monstrosities are "the go-to shoe for dental nurses and married women who have let themselves go."
Amen, I say. Down with the Crocs!
And that's all from the mags this week.
