Meanest story nominee: What happened to Kate Gosselin's face?

Publication: In Touch
Date: 5 Dec. 2011

Kate Gosselin had 29 cover stories in 2010.  This is her fifth in 2011, a speculation about possible plastic surgery.

This is a nominee for Meanest Story of the Week.

Problems with Plastic alert: Sandra's new face.

Publication: OK!
Date: 28 Nov. 2011
 
There is speculation from long distance pictures that Sandra Bullock has had some work done on her lips. This picture is from RadarOnline and the story in the supermarket rags is from OK!


This week's Demi and Ashton headlines.

 Publications: National Enquirer, Star, Weekly Life & Style, Us Weekly
Date: 28 Nov. 2011

More stories this week about Demi and Ashton than there are about Kim Kardashian.  Could the supermarket rags be getting over her at last?  It's early, but I think it's also possible.  Here are the Ashton-Demi headlines, printed mere hours before the divorce proceedings were made public.
  • National Enquirer:  Demi's face is melting!
    Ashton's cheating is taking a toll
    (now and 6 months ago)
  • Star: Exclusive details
        Demi: How 'Open Marriage' destroyed her
  • Weekly Life & Style: January's baby: Is Ashton the dad?
  • Us Weekly: Ashton & Demi's vacation to save their marriage
A lot of magazines have been predicting the divorce for a while, so I'm not handing out a scoop for this one, but if the rumor about January Jones' baby is true, that could very well have been the last straw.

Problems with Plastic alert™: Plastic surgery shockers!

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 21 Nov. 2011
The Enquirer has another grab-bag story on the cover about celebrities who have had plastic surgery that sucks. The headline reads "The good, the bad and the really ugly", but as usual, they leave the good off the front cover.  Here are the women they trash, including gossip hell newcomers Dyan Cannon and Susan Lucci.
  • Barbara Walters - what went wrong
  • Dyan Cannon - over the top
  • Susan Lucci - Elastic face & squinty eyes
  • Lindsay Lohan - bloated disaster
      

This week's Kim'N'Kris headlines.

Publications: National Enquirer, OK!, Star, Weekly Life & Style, Us Weekly
Date: 21 Nov. 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays!  There were seven cover stories about Kim Kardashian and her divorce last week, but we are down to "only" six this week.  In Touch focuses on the whole awful clan and the money schemes of Kris Jenner, but the rest are mainly about the newly divorced newlyweds.  Here are the headlines.
  • National Enquirer: "Kim's butt is fake!"
    Kris exposes Kim's secrets
    He has video proof - he tells pals
  • Weekly Life & Style:  Kim's plan backfires
    Kris won't sign divorce papers
    Reggie refuses to call
    Angry with Mom, she says, "I'm quitting the show!"
    Exclusive interview with his dad: Kris' side of the story
  • Us Weekly: Kim after split
    Depressed & Devastated
  • Star: Rehab for kim!
    Backlash from marriage hoax pushes her over the edge
    Family turns on her: "You killed the show!"
    A sex tape with Kris!
  • OK!: Kim's not back with Kris…
    Kim & Reggie re-unite
    All the details of their sexy hook-up
Leave it to OK! to hold out some hope of a slightly happy ending, her chance to find another guy.  As I have written before, if Reggie Bush really is trying to get back in the picture, he should be tested for concussion induced brain damage. Only time will tell if their story can survive being universally despised.  It certainly didn't help Paris Hilton or Kate Gosselin.



All this week's news all three Kardashian sisters.

Publication: Weekly Life & Style
Date: 7 Nov. 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! The troubled marriage of Kim Kardashian is sucking most of the oxygen out of the room in their tiny gossip world, but Weekly Life & Style decides to do a cover about all three sisters. Here are the headlines.
  • Three Kardashian exclusives
  • Khloe's new nose
  • Tears on Kim's b-day
  • A ring for Kourtney

Problems With Plastic Alert: Chaz Bono's $10,000 Plastic surgery nightmare!

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 17 Oct. 2011

The Enquirer tells us that Chaz Bono has had a $10,000 plastic surgery nightmare, and puts a picture of him shirtless on the cover. The also call this a "DWTS shocker!", so it's pretty obvious that Chaz's being on the show is the reason this is new the Enquirer thinks you can use.



Problems With Plastic Alert and Fussin' and Feudin' Alert: Hillary's secret plastic surgery!

Publication: Globe
Date: 10 Oct. 2011

The Globe continues with the theme that Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton really don't like one another. Here are the headlines.
  • After Michelle Obama calls her old, sloppy & fat…
  • Hillary's secret plastic surgery!
  • Now she's ready to kick the Obamas out of the White House!

Problems With Plastic Alert: Plastic surgery gone wrong!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 26 Sept. 2011

The low rent Examiner goes with a story about plastic surgery snafus, most of them on women older than I am, some who were famous before I graduated high school. There are pictures of Loni Anderson, Linda Evans (pictured above), Priscilla Presley, Courtney Love and Tanya Tucker, all of them looking a bit too much like Mickey Rourke.

Courtney Love is the odd person out on this list. Everyone else was famous in the 1960s or 1970s, while Love's fame started in the 1990s. Many from the target demographic for the low rent Examiner won't even know who she is.

Damn You Skinny Alert™ and Problems With Plastic Alert™: Stories about Lindsay Lohan's little sister Ali

Publications: Star, In Touch
Date: 26 Sept. 2011

Welcome to gossip hell, Ali Lohan! Lindsay's little sister works as a model and is only 17, but she's already had a remarkably unnecessary and unattractive plastic surgery and has lost a ridiculous amount of weight.

Another shining testament to the parenting skills of the elder Lohans.

Here are the headlines.
  • In Touch: Dying to be thin (pictures of Lohan and Taylor Armstrong)
  • Star: Ali Lohan plastic surgery scandal
    She's only 17

I debated whether the phrase "dying to be thin" should be considered a figure of speech or if Lohan and Armstrong should be put on the tabloid vulture watch. Given how tough a stretch Taylor Armstrong is going through and what a mess the Lohan family is, I decided it should be considered more literal than figurative and used the label Not Long 4 This World (indirect), the lowest level of tabloid death watch. Both probably have long lives in front of them, but adding them to the list is not going to ruin the tabloids' track record, which is very bad indeed. After adding these names, there have been 91 people marked for death in the rags since the beginning of 2010 and only ten of them have died so far.



Problems With Plastic Alert: JWoww's surgery confession.

Publication: In Touch

Date: 5 Sept. 2011



When it comes to Nielsen ratings, Jersey Shore is one of the big hits of reality TV. When it comes to interest from The Only Ten Magazines That Matter, it's not as popular as Mob Wives. Almost all the stories about Jersey Shore this year have involved JWoww, the taller brunette with the massive rack, who confesses to some plastic surgery.








Problems With Plastic Alert: Vienna "hated her face"

Publication: Us Weekly

Date: 15 August 2011



Vienna from The Bachelor show several seasons back hated her face, so she got a nose job. I don't watch the show, but from what I could gather, most people hated her personality more.





And the camera noses in to the tears on her face: Denise Richards breaks her silence

Publication: Us Weekly
Date: 8 August 2011

Fresh trash tomorrow! Last trash of the week... right now!

Us has a long interview with Denise Richards inside. Here are the headlines.
  • Hookers and drugs - what our girls know
  • How I fled while six months pregnant
  • Inside Charlie's craziest night ever
  • While I regret my boob jobs

Annoying label bookkeeping #16

Problems With Plastic Alert: Plastic surgery confessions!

Publication: Star
Date: 1 August 2011
(photo nicked for exposay.com, copyright Chris Hatcher)

Another grab bag of celebrities who have gone under the knife are presented on the cove of Star this week. There are a couple of "Guess Who?" pictures, but as you know, I don't play that. A lot of the women are older stars barely of any interest to the tabloids. For example, Linda Evans get mentioned for the first time in at least two years and Madonna and Lisa Rinna (pictured above) get mentioned for the first time in 2011. Suzanne Somers and Nicole Kidman are also mentioned, common names when plastic surgery is the topic.

If any name on the list counts as a surprise at all, they say that Jennifer Aniston, the youngest person on the list by several years, has been under the knife twice. Star has floated this story before.


Problems With Plastic Alert: Mob Wives Renee's plastic surgery nightmare.

Publication: OK!
Date: 25 July 2011

Welcome to gossip hell, Renee Graziano! The show Mob Wives has been mentioned a few times already this year, but usually no names are given on the cover. This time, Mob Wife Renee is identified by name, and it's another bad plastic surgery story, a common ailment of reality TV stars.




Problems With Plastic Alert™: Teresa gets Botox and a butt lift.

Publication: In Touch
Date: 25 July 2011

The supermarket checkout rags not owned by AMI - People, OK!, Weekly Life & Style, Us Weekly and In Touch - don't beat up real celebrities as much as the AMI publications do, because they actually get interviews and they need to keep access. On the other hand, they don't have to worry about access to reality TV stars, because the shows make certain they can get publicity, whether positive or negative. Because they do not fear reality TV stars, the magazines can tell as many negative stories as they want.

Right now, the most exploited sitting ducks are a whole mess of young girls from Teen Mom, the silly publicity hounds on The Bachelor/Bachelorette and Teresa Guidice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Once again, she is mocked for having yet more plastic surgery.



Problems With Plastic Alert™: Botox stars and frozen faces.

Publication: Star
Date: 18 July 2011

Star has an expose about the Hollywood stars using botox, with a promise of 14 pictures inside. The person they put on the cover was Megan Fox, an actress who gained fame by being willing to take pictures that made her look like a stripper or a hooker, then had a change of heart about that career path and more or less fell off everyone's radar.

She has posted a short video on YouTube that shows her forehead actually can wrinkle if she makes a supreme effort.

Problems With Plastic Alert™: Real Housewife Teresa's $40,000 plastic surgery AFTER bankruptcy!

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 4 July 2011

Fresh trash tomorrow! Last trash of the week... right now!

Teresa Guidice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has a husband going to jail and has recently filed for bankruptcy. The Enquirer wants you to know she hid away enough money to get $40,000 worth of plastic surgery.

Is there some procedure that will give you a forehead if you are forehead impaired? That would be the first thing I'd recommend working on.



Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™: Kardashians ripped apart by off-camera scandals!

Publication: Star
Date: 4 July 2011

Kourtney and Khloe have been nearly forgotten by the supermarket rags for awhile, even before Kim announced her wedding and sucked all the air out of the room. But this week, Star puts all three on the cover with plenty of dish to go around. Here are the headlines.
  • New sex tape
  • Custody battle
  • Secret pregnancy
  • Plus: the truth about their plastic surgery
The custody battle would have to be Kourtney, since she's the only one who has a kid, but the other stories could be about any of the three. You'll have to buy the magazine yourself to find out, since I don't open them up on general principles.
