This is another baffling choice in a week where the lede was handed to them on a gilded gold platter. In Touch Weekly has put this protracted story about Lamar Odom’s supposed mistress back on its cover. In short, after writing covers about their “breakup” for over a year, In Touch and others are going ahead […]

Surprisingly, most of the tabloids aside from PEOPLE didn’t put baby Prince George of Cambridge on the cover.

Previously, Life & Style rustled the jimmies of its own readers (judging by the comments on its Facebook) by lying about Kate Middleton’s “dramatic delivery” back in June. She’s still pregnant. So it was some nonsense story that’s basically the “dramatic delivery” boilerplate all the tabloids are guilty of using but with a “find & […]
