Newsstand Junkie: Charlie Sheen's good husband guise reveals hairy situation

Who's that man lurking on the cover of In Touch? The one with the sunglasses, the hoodie, and the fake mustache? Why, it's Charlie Sheen, and he's sneaking out of rehab for a liaison with a lingerie model, says the mag. But, unlike Tiger and Jesse, this guy is an actor fi rst, a cheater second, so he can be counted on to do it in disguise. Read the details of his gauche getaway in the 'zines!

Kitty Kelley's unauthorized biography of Oprah came out this week. Star helpfully highlights the parts that point to a romantic relationship between Oprah and Gayle King. For instance, Oprah paid for Gayle's $3.6 million home in Connecticut, her $7 million NYC apartment, and, one Christmas, handed her a check for $1.25 million "so they could both be millionaires," writes Kelley. In other words, Gayle has experienced that lesser-known cousin of Oprah's "aha moment," the "cha-ching moment."

This week's Life & Style cover touts a trend I still don't understand: the "revenge body." Kim Kardashian says she's lost five pounds in five days after her recent split with Reggie Bush and "it gave me a lot more confidence." But if she was a regular human being, wouldn't dieting in a time of emotional turbulence make her feel so distressed, irrational and angry that she would show up at Reggie's house with a hatchet, a shovel, and a jumbo bag of Lay's for when she's done? Oh, now I get why they call it a revenge body.

Christina Aguilera was so determined to get an iPad the day they came out that she sent her assistant to stand in line at the Apple store. "The assistant had to wait for hours and hours, baking in the hot sun," a source complains to Star, as if this was the worst thing a celebrity assistant has ever had to do. The guy should be sent to "Dancing with the Stars," where he'd be forced to blot Kate Gosselin's tears and talk Pam Anderson into wearing panties.

OK! says that Katie Holmes has come around to the idea of having another baby, partly because Tom Cruise stopped pressuring her. "Tom has always said that getting pregnant has to totally be Katie's decision," says a source, "not just because he's a good guy but because it's part of Scientology. The baby's soul must inhabit its pre-birth body with the clear intention that it wants to be born." In that case, you'd think the Scientologists would have found a way to make Tom the vessel. Or maybe John Travolta could carry the baby for him.

Lady Gaga was walking through a hotel in Australia when she came across a wedding reception. The bride and groom called her in, says In Touch, and she took pictures with them and recommended they "have good sex" before fl itting to her next engagement. The photos are priceless: Gaga, in a black outfi t and crazy sunglasses, towers over a terrifi ed fl ower girl. Still, it's nice to have a costumed character at a soiree. It's like when you get Minnie Mouse to come to your kid's birthday party.
