Tabloid Journalism Has Reached A New Low - Part 438
Over the past two years I have read some really big bunches of crap that magazines have tried to pass off as news. I mean sickening publicist fed pieces that are nothing more than a big ass kissing and love fest for the celebrity which have no bearing on anything close to the truth and serve only the people who it was written about paying no mind to any kind of ethical responsibilities which the tabloids may have as an entity that is actually expecting money from the public for their product. Does that make sense? Screw it. I'm not going back. I now present to you the all-time biggest suck up full of crap there ever was story in the whole world. It is from OK! Magazine. All it takes is the first paragraph or two. Before you do, I seriously advise you get some sort of container ready because you will throw up.
When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes exited the Ivy restaurant in L.A. on Jan. 21, the smiles on their faces as they glanced at each other said it all: "We're in love!" But when Tom gently placed his hand over his beautiful wife's belly and she clasped his hand and held it there, the message was even louder and clearer — the couple have another baby on the way!
I have always thought People Magazine was the king of the butt kiss and spent more time on their knees than (pick your favorite male or female to make fun of here), and for sheer volume People still holds the title. This story however from OK! is the biggest piece of oily suck up cheese I have ever read.
If you want to read more of the story, click here. It's short and after you read it there will be no doubt in your mind they made it all up or were paid to write it and that in fact Katie is not pregnant and that the cover and the story are all designed to get people to spend the $4 to part with their money without actually telling the truth.

If Katie's preggers WHO DID IT ?....That's all I want to know...
Somebody explain to me, please, why people are soooooooooooooooo interested in the spawning of celebrities. You would think normal people couldn't (and don't) have babies every day. I'm soooo sick of the phrase "baby bump." The Michelle Obama rumors really are over the top.
WHO CARES?!?!?!
Did you just use "ethical responsibilities" and "tabloids" in the same sentence? The tequila is flowing early today, huh? ;)
That did make my stomach turn. Barf.
Aye and TC is also 6'4".
there are celebs that hire public relations people to keep their name out of the news...
and then there are celebs that hire public relations people to keep their name IN the news. those people are in bed with bullshit mags like US and People and OK!
people who want to believe celebs are as wonderful as babies and puppies and cotton candy sunshine days eat this crap up, and as long as there's an audience, they're not going away.
i say stop giving them free advertising.
nunaurbiz - Holy turtle nipples! I could NOT agree with you more!
"Oooh look everyone, we screwed and made a spermanoid. Bet you wish YOU could do that. Bring in the press!"
Yeah, that's just fucking riveting news right there...
I hope they are smart enough to use the same breeder as they used with Suri or tongues will wag, like they won't anyway. I'm sure he has made a few deposits in the Katie sperm account. So we have nothing to worry about. Ok must have been in danger of going under with the crappy economy and needed some of that xenu money. I'm sure OK was well paid for that article.
mollys right & i might add those same people can't own a computer or know what a blog is.
I love the tabloid's headline: KATIE PUTS CAREER ON HOLD TO GIVE SURI A LITTLE SISTER.
Career? What fucking career? She hasn't had one of those since she boarded the mothership.
stop buying these magazines. period.
unless you like to pay money to be lied to there is no reason to buy this shit any longer. obviously people on CDAN know this but it drives me crazy how easily people buy into it.
I don't buy them, but I like to read them on line at the supermarket!
And NO Jessica you are not fat, but you do have under arm flab.
I dunno - doing that sort of thing at The Ivy? Could be possible. Or they're just jealous they're not on some bump-watch list.
Guess that means we'll get pictures of Kidman holding her stomach now because she has to copy every single thing Tom and Katie do.
Any news on who the donor was? I hope she's not doing purification rundowns with a bun in the oven.
Of course it could just be that she managed to eat an entire cheeezburger and instantly went up a dress size.
That's a very old publicity stunt. Nicole did it at some red carpet thing because she thought photogs were ignoring her.
Ya know-
Tom kinda looks like his co-star from "Top Gun" whose name I can't remember. He starred in "Real Genius".
