Poor pregnant Katie Holmes.What should be the most exciting time of her life is turning in to a bit of a nightmare.
Those rumours that she has split from Tom Cruise could be the last straw for the former Dawson's Creek star. The New Zealand Woman's Weekly says that organising an extravagant wedding, dealing with Tom's bizarre behaviour, his Scientology obsession and his clashes with her father have left her exhausted and emotional. Recent photographs also show the "once-glamorous Katie looking pale, puffy and shattered, her hair dishevelled, wearing no make-up and dressed in frumpy, unfashionable clothes".
New Idea has also tapped into Katie's pain and quotes a Life&Style magazine article that "Their relationship is basically over".
One of Tom's friend's reportedly said Tom and Katie had agreed the marriage wouldn't work and they wanted to end it "before they learned to hate each other".
But just when you thought you knew everything about TomKat, Woman's Day asks "What split?" and reports that, in fact, Tom and Katie are closer than ever.
Tom's heavyweight spin doctors are calling the claims "100 per cent false". This must be true, because Tom is reportedly planning to take Katie's parents to the Oscars next month. Katie, it seems may be too tired to attend.
In contrast to the TomKat mess, the Day has Tom's ex, Nicole Kidman, crowing that her Kiwi-born boyfriend, Keith Urban, has quit alcohol and drugs just for her. It seems Keith has accepted her ultimatum to "get sober or go" and has been clean for four weeks. His reward? Confirmation that they will get married in March.
Just how many pictures of an overweight Kirstie Alley do we need to see? New Idea just couldn't resist some more. Great effort by Kirstie, though, in shedding 27kg since January last year. If only she had read the Day story first, she'd have learned how Oprah lost 10kg fast.
It seems that Oprah's relaxed approach to dieting is working. She allows herself a "little splurge every now and again", but gets serious again when she starts approaching the 77kg mark.
But what would this column be without a mention of our favourite love tangle. According to New Idea, Vince Vaughn has had enough of Jennifer Aniston's constant moaning about Brad and Angelina. Vince says Jen should "bury Brad. Have a little funeral for your marriage". Well, we will see if Jen manages to get that right. In the meantime, Brad continues on his merry way, being downright childish. Women's Weekly has him hogging Maddox's remote-control cars at a playground in Paris.
And just when you thought Shane Warne could not get any sleazier, there he is in the Day slobbering all over golden girl Pamela Anderson at the exclusive Green M&M's party in Melbourne. One well-placed partygoer says: "He placed a firm hand on Pammy's back and left no space between him and her famous chest when they posed for photos."
Bringing a touch of local colour to our week, there are photographs of two celebrity weddings. The Day has Suzy Aiken looking stunning in a plunging Jane Yeh ivory gown, while Nathan Rarere and his partner show off their Vegas wedding in New Idea.
And speaking of weddings, the Day tells us that Penelope Cruz and Matthew McConaughey are "ready to take their love to the next level" with Penny begging Matt to make her his bride.
It also notes speculation that a baby might well be on the way for the happy couple.
Finally, Prince William gets a mention in both the Day and New Idea for being in a room where drugs were being used.
New Idea says the future King has put himself at risk and police have launched a probe following news that drugs like cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana were sold within metres of the Prince while his minders stood by.
