In breaking news this week, New Idea and Woman's Day both catch Kirstie Alley on a burger binge. Yes - the very same Kirstie Alley who just a fortnight ago told the same magazines she was happier when she was fat. How satisfying to see her doing something to reclaim the joy.
Woman's Day reveals the burger was from takeaway chain In-N-Out Burger and, oh, how apt - and "after munching her mega-meal, Kirstie went for a colonic".
Otherwise, it's babies all over for the women's mag trio, with Angelina and Brad's wee moppet coming swift on the heels of TomKat's Suri.
Shiloh is Hebrew for "the peaceful one" and "tranquil". The women's magazines don't tell us this, but Google reveals it is also the name of a rifle manufacturer, a guided missile cruiser in the US Navy, and a famous battlefield in the American Civil War on which nearly 23,000 men were killed. How sweet.
Woman's Day gives a blow by blow account of the birth, which ended up as an emergency caesarean.
It carries on with a source saying Pitt was "scared ****less" during the birth, after which he "broke down and was sobbing like a baby".
Angelina's reaction: "I feel whole".
What about Jen? Well, the Woman's Weekly says the news hit her hard and she cried for an hour before going to the premiere of her latest movie The Break-Up with Vince Vaughan.
New Idea said she took the news like a trooper, announced she was finally over Brad, and even congratulated him.
Tom and Katie are reduced to the short story pages of Woman's Day - Katie has put her foot down and has insisted Tom take a parenting course, despite his argument he'd cut his teeth on the whole parenting malarkey with his two adopted children with Nicole Kidman.
Britney's also looking for parenting advice after stumbling and nearly dropping son Sean. She's called in the Supernanny, Jo Frost.
On to more sensible parents and the glamour of Dancing with the Stars. David Wikaira-Paul talks to Woman's Day about his son Ricco and the pain of discovering he was far less popular than MP Rodney Hide last week. David got voted off despite Hide's trousers and record low score from the judges.
Beatrice talks to the Woman's Weekly about "marriage and babies" - or rather how neither are on the immediate horizon. The Weekly discovers she might marry and have children one day, but in the meantime the "love behind her comeback" is not the future father of little athletes, but her good old mum.
New Idea gets judge Alison Leonard to compare the celebrities to animals. Beatrice is a giraffe. Rodney is a hippo.
For its cover story, New Idea has gone all serious on us with an "exclusive" about Mark Inglis and his climb of Everest. Funny, wasn't that Mark Inglis on TV night after night, in the papers day after day?
