At People, it’s Catherine Zeta-Jones battling bipolar disorder and taking us “inside her private struggle” (which would mean it’s no longer private, then). Also highlighted is a Demi Lovato “exclusive!” (“My time to heal”), Mariska Hargitay’s “baby joy!” and an 85-lb. lighter Aretha’s declaration: “I’m healthy!” Us Weekly has Dancing With The Stars’ behind-the-scenes “Meltdowns! Hookups! Feuds!”
It’s a big surprise at In Touch Weekly, what with Teen Mom “babies in danger,” not to mention “Corey hits Leah!” and “Jenelle abandons Jace.” And they, too, take us “inside Catherine’s private hell,” thereby taking it even more public. Over at Life & Style Weekly, we learn “why Emily left Brad,” with “Mariah’s baby joy” and “Suri’s late-night meltdown” also revealed.
Meanwhile, Lindsay is “wasted again,” “only in Star”—though it seems we’ve seen this elsewhere in many other mags, many times. Adding to the knowledge, Star puts up “J-Woww stabbed me & tried to kill me”—this shocker straight from her ex. And OK! USA, that is, “Only in OK!,” its another “Teen Mom exclusive” with Leah and Corey fighting for the twins. On a positive motherhood note, OK! also tells us that Kim will be the “best mom.”
Surface offers its annual design issue, while Elle Décor goes “alfresco style” and portrays “effortless elegance” on its luxury living room cover, with the promise of top designers redefining glamour inside.
Ashley Judd brightens the cover of More, which offers an excerpt of her “ferociously frank and insightful” new memoir All That Is Bitter & Sweet. Harper’s Bazaar has a rather tame Lady Gaga gracing its “Hot Fashion Issue” (also including a “shopping special”) and InStyle has Kate Hudson “on her new man, new baby and new body.”
Scream 4’s Emma Roberts fronts Seventeen and reveals “the flirting trick that gets her the best guys.” Another “exclusive” report on Demi Lovato’s “road to recovery” quotes the troubled starlet admitting “I basically had a nervous breakdown.”
Brides has a timely royal wedding special collector’s edition, but excellent commoner marriage material can be found on the Colbie Caillat cover of Fitness, which accompanies her “body-confidence secrets.” But sorry, guys, she’s taken. Shape competes with it’s Jillian Michaels cover, in which The Biggest Loser star “talks openly about her own struggles with weight and body confidence.” Clearly, one can’t get too much body confidence.
Time Out New York plays on the famous 1932 New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam photo in its “Your perfect lunch” cover, though it only has three lunch mates on a girder (the original had 11!). Inside are 250 “delicious reasons to take a break.” The Atlantic’s “Culture Issue” examines “how genius works” by delving into “the creative thinking” of Paul Simon, Chuck Close, Sarah Ruhl, Lupe Fiasco, Frank Gehry and Tim Burton.
Spin puts Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold on the cover, the story concerning the making of “the year’s most beautiful album” (Helplessness Blues). Inside features include Foo Fighters, TV On The Radio and Little Dragon, with “Explosions In The Sky and the greatest rock instrumentals” particularly piquing our interest.
Finally, Conde Nast Traveler takes us to the 124 “best new hotels in the world,” with the St. Regis Lhasa Resort in Tibet pictured on the cover.
