Critique: OK! Magazine Asks Is Katie Holmes Pregnant?
YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Is Katie Pregnant?
Anytime a magazine ASKS A QUESTION like this, I know they DON’T have the answer.
And the photo they used on the cover is SO NOT convincing!
When you read the dek, you know that they are definitely not sure. Here’s some of their evidence with my thoughts in parenthesis!
Her 10 lb. weight gain. (Did someone at OK put her on a scale? If so, I want to see the photo! The one on the cover makes her look perfectly slender with no bump in site.)
Romantic dates with thrilled Tom (They are married after-all. This doesn’t convince me she’s sperminated. But it convinces me that she’s at least eating and supports the ten pound weight gain. I know when I eat out vs eating at home, I tend to gain more weight. Don’t ask about the hotel mini bar! It was just there sitting in front of me. I couldn’t control myself!)
His mommy to be gifts (Oh, now I believe this story. NOT! I hope Tom buys Katie gifts! Isn’t that a given when you’re husband is super rich?)
There’s an incredibly laughable sneak peek of this story on OK’s website. But you have to read this quote right now….
“She has that special glow that only pregnant women have,” an eyewitness tells OK!. “I would say there is a strong possibility that she’s pregnant.” (That special glow…I have that glow after I sit in the sun for two hours! I hope people don’t speculate that I’m pregnant!)
This could be one of the weakest pregnancy covers I’ve seen in a LONG time!
Moving to the glorious sidebar….I’m treated to an inset of George Clooney and his girlfriend with the line “What REALLY Happened at the Oscars!” Do I give a shit at this point? The Oscars totally sucked!
And then the most obvious line in history is “First Pics of Angie’s Bump!”
This cover smells like a big newsstand STINKER!
My suggestion to OK would have been to use the full picture of Angie’s bump and go with a strong Angie preggers story. Visually, it’s much more believable than the Katie Holmes story and would be a better seller on the newsstand.
There’s always next week!
