Kirstie Alley:
It had to happen sooner or later. New Idea and Woman's Day have finally given up all pretence of brand differentiation and just published the same cover. The same photo of the fined-down but still generous figure of the actress Kirstie Alley adorns both magazines, although in a daring act of novelty the Day has coloured her dress purple, as opposed to the royal blue she wears in the New Idea photograph.
Ooookay, she's bigger than the typical waif, she's older than the typical "popular" actress, but so freakin' what? Bloody tabloids, I dunno...
Brad & Angelina:
...NW and Woman's Day both carry photos of Brad Pitt playing daddy to The Harlot's adopted children, Maddox and baby Zahara, on a trip to a Canadian mall. The mags continue to speculate about a marriage, obviously on the cards now that Brad has been legally divorced for about five minutes.
If these people weren't famous, nobody would care. Except maybe Jen. Sheesh.
Pamela Anderson:
NW makes a valuable contribution to the literary canon by publishing an extract from Pamela Anderson's latest novel. Called Star Struck, the book is a sequel to the best-selling Star. It follows the adventures of, err, Star, an actress who plays a lifeguard in a world-famous show. As the book opens, she has just married a rock star in Mexico after a whirlwind courtship. Except Star can't remember the wedding, because she was too bombed. The book is a romance, obviously. It is probably fair to assume Pammy is drawing on her own experience in writing it.
Are they serious? Sounds like an autobiography to me.
Britney Spears:
None of the mags have yet nabbed any pictures of Britney Spears's spawn, the recently born Sean Preston. But that doesn't stop them from persecuting Britney for being a bad mother. As NW shows in full pictorial detail, the Britster has spurned the traditional new mother attire of milk-stained nighties and a wild-eyed look for a bikini, accessorised with a ciggie and a cocktail glass.
Awww, come on! It's not like she was chaste and pure to start with! (She shagged Justin, yeah?) And suddenly having a baby is a shock to the system, even if one is wanting the whole dowdy experience in the first place. Give the girl some slack.
