Team Aniston or Team Jolie?

Hey guys, before I get into the latest news and gossip from this week’s issue of Us let me take a minute to tell you all how this blog really came to be. I am a senior marketing major and I am taking a class, Information Technology Applications in Marketing, where creating and maintaining a blog is part of the course. I am going to be completely honest when I say I really had no clue what this was all about, and now, I am addicted! So anyway, I was able to choose absolutely anything my little heart desired so I picked Us Weekly because it is my absolute favorite magazine and celebrity news and gossip is definitely my guilty pleasure! My classmates have some pretty interesting topics as well and if you are interested in checking out the class blog, click here.

Okay, so moving on to this week’s hot topics...Brad and Angelina are featured as the cover story this week with a headline that reads PLANNING TO MARRY! I really hope this is just a tabloid headline because the article says his divorce from Jennifer Aniston is not even final until October 2. An unidentified source claims that Pitt is talking about marrying ‘Angie’ but I sincerely hope he waits a little longer than this. Now I personally am a huge Jennifer Aniston fan and would have to say that I am definitely a member of TEAM ANISTON. On page 26 in the Faces & Places section there is a picture of the Hilton sisters leaving LA’s Kitson Boutique with Nicky wearing a TEAM ANISTON tee and Paris sporting a TEAM JOLIE one, like those seen in the picture. If you want to get your very own TEAM ANISTON or TEAM JOLIE tee click shopkitson, where they are being exclusively sold, but do it fast because they are a very hot commodity especially now that the Hilton sisters are wearing them!

Also featured this week is what celebs are helping with the Katrina effort. Leading the troops is Oprah, a Mississippi native. She traveled down to New Orleans on September 4th, with her camera crews to film some shows, as well as 33 trucks filled with supplies to help the survivors. Serena Williams is apparently going to donate $100 for every ace she serves this year and Diddy and Jay-Z jointly pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross.

This issue also featured fall TV secrets! For Desperate Housewives we get the DISH ON WISTERIA LANE. We learn that the new neighbor, Betty Applewhite, is hiding a secret at home, that something big will happen to Susan, that Bree will begin to explore life as a single woman and that the George the pharmacist is still around, Lynette goes back to work as her husband Tom is staying home with their four kids, Gabrielle has a baby on the way, a husband in jail and will still find time to get involved with someone, and Edie will have a new flame…SUSAN’S EX! If you are a huge Desperate Housewives fan like me, check out my classmate Lisa’s blog featuring the show by clicking here. Us also gives teasers about ER, HOUSE, THE O.C., GREY’S ANATOMY and CSI.

Finally as many of you have already heard…BRITNEY had a baby boy yesterday, September 14, 2005 at the Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center. This week Us had a feature article recapping her ELLE makeover and of course there was talk about the baby. Next week’s issue already has her on the cover and if you want to get a sneak peak at what lies ahead for my next entry check it OUT!
