J. Lo's ex-lover tells all!

Star says they have dirt from an ex-lover of Jennifer Lopez.

They are going to have to be more specific. That really doesn't shrink the field of possible sources very much.

Stars without make-up: May 2011 edition.

Publication: Star
Date: 23 May 2011

Star has picutres of actresses, singers and models without make-up and almost all of them look not very good to downright awful. There was one "guess who?" picture of a model, but I don't play that game. The people identified are J. Lo, Teri Hatcher, Meg Ryan and Kirstie Alley.

The most beautiful woman in the world: Jennifer Lopez.

Publication: People
Date: 25 April 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! People has their double issue on the stands this week of Most Beautiful People, and most of the cover goes to Jennifer Lopez, with little pictures of Mila Kunis and Ryan Reynolds and the headline "95 fabulous faces".

95 is not only an odd number, it's a strange number. How hard would it have been to find five more good looking people and push the list to an even hundred?

For me, J. Lo is pretty but not super special. I am of the opinion the Ben Affleck pulled off one of the great upgrades in show business history when he got rid of her and hooked up with the taller, sexier and much lower maintenance Jennifer Garner.

Bad Help Alert:Hollywood stylists get serious about the dish!

Publication: Star magazine
Date: 4 April 2011

I am ambivalent about bad help alerts.

Nannies blabbing to the gossip rags about kids? I disapprove.

Stylists blabbing about hair, make-up and wardrobe? Oh, somebody make some popcorn, this is going to be fun!

Star devotes a huge amount of their cover to dirt about celebrity beauty secrets, some questions given as "Guess who?", which means you will have to buy the magazine yourself to find out because I refuse to open these things unless under serious duress, and several stories where they name names. Here are all the headlines.

• Hollywood stylists tell all the flaws, the fakes, the fights
• Who has a closet just for Spanx?
• Who duct tapes her boobs?
• Who waxes her freaky toes?
• Who has to be sewn into her dresses?
• Who steals from her stylist?
• LeeAnn (Rimes): Starving for attention
• Rihanna: Seeing red
• Jen (Aniston): Finger fungus
• J. LO: Squeeze play (She is the boob duct taper.)
• Camille (Grammer): Closet confidential
• Bethenny (Frankel): Zit fit
  

I only know the boob duct tape story because Star put it on the front page of their website. As much as I might want to know who waxes her freaky toes and who steals from her stylist, I do have rules, and I obey them slavishly except under the most extreme situations.
