Tabs Come Undone Over Angelina's Preggy-Sex Talk

BEDROOM EYES EW cover
This week's glossies are made possible by a grant from Entertainment Weekly! EW sat down with the world's most famous humanitarian uterus, Angelina Jolie, and came away with gold. Angie's marquee quote: "Pregnancy is great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative," found its way into all the weekly warriors. But there were enough ear-catching statements in the interview for each of the tabs to hobble together a cover.

Using the same trick it did with Angie's Vanity Fair interview a few weeks ago, Us simply pulls quotes puts them in colorful boxes. We especially enjoy the way they slap on little cutout Angelina heads with different emotions. On pregnancy sex: big smiling Angie head. On the Election: more solemn smiley head. On family bedtime: laughing head.

Life & Style, meanwhile, hones in on Angie's thoughts on second ex-hubby Billy Bob Thornton. "I still love him dearly and think the world of him, and I'm proud to have been his wife for a time," she tells EW. The Bauer Bunch digs up an add that Angelina took out in Variety in 2004 (two years after she and Billy Bob divorced and stopped wearing vials of each other's blood), which proclaimed, "I love your brilliant mind." Throw in an "insider"/friend-of-a-friend-of-one-of-the-old-nannies saying that Angie hates it when Brad talks about his exes, add water, stir and you've got yourself a "Brad is reeling with jealousy" story!

Star and In Touch take the EW quotes where Ange worries that having twin girls (due next week or August depending on which weekly you read) will offset the balance of power in the home, and the mags spin these into panicked the cover stories: Angelina: I'm Scared! and Crisis at Home!, respectively. And the award for weirdest of the weeklies goes to In Touch's info box where media whore/psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky questions if Angelina is still shooting smack. "I've never seen someone remit heroin completely. You're either still on heroin, OxyContin or something else unless you're dead." Um, okay, but you know with all those kids and all that creative pregnancy sex we submit that Angie should switch to an upper.

Seemingly apropos of nothing, OK! takes the EW quotes, adds a dash of the Vanity Fair interview, throws in an interview with Barbara Walters, and decides that Brad and Angie are planning to adopt a boy from Africa. Next week they'll take a quote about Angie being a registered independent and fashion it into "Angelina Jolie adopting John McCain."
