Exclusive! “Shocking” photos of the hubby half of Jon & Kate Plus 8 show him getting into a car with another woman. Kate was in Washington promoting her new book when Jon Gosselin (sans wedding ring) was at a nightclub attached to the America’s Best Value Inn in Pennsylvania (how wild!). He left around 2 a.m., shouted at the unknown woman to hand him his jacket, was startled by photographers, and sped off. Since the octo-couple is known to bicker on the show, and in February Jon was seen partying at a Pennsylvania college, might this signal the end—or the beginning—of a more bitter show? Elsewhere, newly married (again) young things Spencer and Heidi Pratt appear quite happy. They Twittered through their “short and sweet” ceremony before speeding off in a Rolls-Royce Phantom to the reception, where guests danced to Dolly Parton and noshed on tuna tartare. See for yourself when it airs May 31. And finally, Lindsay Lohan: too thin from Adderall?
Christina Applegate graces the cover of People’s annual 100 Most Beautiful issue. The Samantha Who? starlet survived breast cancer this year after undergoing a double mastectomy and says, “Sometimes you feel lucky because you’ve been given this chance to change your life.” Applegate started a foundation to help women pay for breast-cancer screenings. and appears happy and healthy. A large feature of stars without makeup includes Cindy Crawford, Eva Mendes, and Claire Danes. Unfortunately (and not surprisingly) they’re all still gorgeous. And don’t look here for your weekend plans: Jennifer Garner’s new rom-com Ghosts of Girlfriends Past received one star—the film, a “seemingly juicy steak,” was actually “nothing but gristle.”
The mag leads with the latest (fabricated?) drama in Brad and Angie’s world. “There was no missing the sadness etched into his face,” they write, during a tour boat ride to Niagara Falls last week. He apparently left their Long Island home last week and a confidante whispers, “Brad is finding this time so much tougher than his divorce.” The magazine asks if Angie will get pregnant to keep Brad, and one friend predicts she’ll give birth by 2010 to keep him in “Mr. Happy Dad” mode. On a happier note, Charlie Sheen and his wife are overjoyed that their premature twins, Bob and Max, are doing well. The one-time bad boy reformed his ways and says he will be “completely upfront and honest" about his past with his kids. And In Touch is pushing American Idol rocker Adam Lambert to star as Peter Parker in the upcoming Broadway adaptation of Spider-Man.
So brave, so selfless. Kim Kardashian, famous for being famous, graces the cover of this week’s tabloid in a “100 percent unretouched photo shoot” and declares, “This is the real me, I love my body. You should love yours, too.” The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star says the camera really does add 10 pounds, and that her dress size is a 4, but talks about cellulite after some less-flattering photos of her were circulated. “I’m happy to represent for curvy women,” she said. Another role model: Jennifer Aniston’s picking the wrong guys again—Scottish scamp Gerard Butler and famephobe John Stamos included. (Doesn’t sound so wrong to us.) And Britney Spears speaks out on gay marriage after Miss California flubbed her pageant answer. “Love is love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy.” Words of wisdom. And to get your spring fashion sense in gear, pick up something, anything, nautical-themed. Even a sailor will do.
OK! gets smoldering and alliterative with The Notebook’s Ryan Gosling, Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, and ex-to-everyone John Mayer on its cover. How does one snag an A-list guy? Pattinson likes Peroni beer—order one and he might ask you to play pool. Entourage headliner Adrian Grenier likes bold women, and George Clooney needs a regular gal who isn’t affected that he’s a magnet for attention. And Rosie, try to hide your contempt: The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck talks about celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that forces her on a gluten-free diet: no bread, cereal, pasta, or ice cream. Another morning-show staple is also profiled: Regis’s right-hand woman Kelly Ripa says “I look my age but that’s OK” and that her marriage with “gorgeous and sexy” Mark Consuelos is “brutally honest.” How is she so perky that early? “Great hair and makeup people.”
They’re bringing out the big baby guns this week and are the first to print a report about Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick expecting twins on July 18 via a surrogate mother. The plan has brought the couple “closer together” says the Star, and the 26-year-old divorcee, who has been a surrogate in the past, lives in eastern Ohio and will reportedly get $30,000 to carry the children and they will pay $100,000 to the agency that made the match. And some happy news for Jen Aniston (provided that it’s true)—the Friends is taking a cue from Brad and it’s rumored that she is adopting a baby boy and already decorating a $250,000 nursery. “This is definitely happening,” says one source. Jen “isn’t waiting around for Mr. Right to make her a mother.” Meanwhile, Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson is also presumed to be expecting with fiance David Otunga. In big money news, Simon Cowell is worth more than $200 million from his various endeavors, and Oprah might be shelling out $150 million for Candy Spelling’s uberswank estate in Los Angeles.
Oh no, not Oprah! The talk-show goddess and perpetual weight gainer and loser has only three years to live, predict longevity experts who reviewed her medical history. She weighs in at 250 pounds, and doctors say she needs to remove her thyroid before she “eats her way to an early grave” with a heart attack or stroke. A close family insider said “Oprah is in a really bad place right now, and we’re all very worried about her.” And couple alert! Cute-as-buttons Slumdog Millionaire costars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were caught snuggling during a lunch in Israel, where Pinto is shooting a film. Who wants to bet the two can’t deny what the pictures prove? And Golden Girls star Betty White is embroiled in a bitter feud with Bob Barker over an elephant. Betty wanted Billy to stay at the Los Angeles Zoo, while Bob wanted him to move to a sanctuary in Northern California. Betty won, and Bob’s apparently still bitter enough to skip the Game Show Awards if she attends. Can’t we all just get along?
