Us Weekly Magazine

Lainey Gossip offers the most perspective on this story, so let’s start there. In short: Us Weekly Magazine is published/ owned by Johnny Depp’s close friend Jann Wenner. Which explains why Star Magazine, People Magazine (who broke news of the split in January), ITW, and everyone else, took their pound of flesh while Us Weekly was rather quite […]

It appears as though Us Weekly Magazine used an old exclusive statement for this week’s cover. It’s basically a retooling of a story Us Weekly ran a week ago, which shows what a slow news day it is (only reality stars cover today: Kim Kardashian covers on Star; Giuliana Rancic, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Zolciak cover Life & […]

Following People Magazine’s wedding exclusive and In Touch Weekly’s bogus pregnancy exclusive, here are the remaining tabloid covers. Although, the only other real exclusive appears to be Us Weekly. The rest is source quotes, shrapnel, and weird filler from Star Magazine grading celebrity mothers because apparently that’s a thing after months of pregnancy weight shaming […]

The remaining tabloid covers were released rather late, so they’re being included with Us Weekly Magazine’s story about Kelly Clarkson. On the promotional trail for her new music, Clarkson has been talking about how happy she is in her relationship and how it’s ruining her artistry because she’s too in love to write maudlin songs (think […]

The tabloids operate several emergency templates for slow news weeks: the Kardashians, bikinis, weight, baby speculation, dead celebrities, and fabricated relationship drama. And that’s all that’s made the covers this week, with the exception of Jessica Simpson’s wedding in Life & Style and Snooki’s exclusive baby reveal for In Touch Weekly. * OK! Magazine’s cover […]

The remaining tabloid covers are weaksauce, so they’re being clumped together for the sake of brevity. Most of the somewhat interesting stories this week are generic Kardashian filler, and, oddly, some of the actual exclusives are pretty dull. It’s a mix of reality news, royal news, and news you already spent the whole week reading […]

Us Weekly is pulling the same tactic as People Magazine did this week. In the absence of any kind of exclusive, here’s another really, really old photo along with generic source quotes the tabloid already provided in the weeks leading up to Jessica Simpson’s delivery. This cover is pretty much filler. Which means no tabloid, […]

It could have been blithely assumed that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s engagement would have been the featured cover story for most of the major tabloids. If only because it was an easy sell. The magazines could have taken a break from fabricating wedding plans to writing about real ones. At least, that’s what OK! Magazine […]

It’s no surprise that pro-Kardashian mouthpiece Us Weekly, who went on Kim Kardashian’s honeymoon to take staged photos and landed her sister’s pregnancy reveal, has another cover about the family. This time, the magazine is trying to appear a little more neutral. Although, make no mistake, the tabloid remains firmly in the pocket of pimp […]

This week’s Us Weekly must be short of stories, since it’s going for another boilerplate Kim Kardashian cover. The tabloid has an inflammatory title on the cover: “Kim’s Divorce Hell: Kim’s side of the story. Humiliated and desperate to move on, Kim begs Kris to set her free. But he is plotting to get her money and […]
