Here's the jawdropping part of the In Touch story...

...

...

It's completely positive! :Spitoutdrink:

LOL! That is jawdropping, but I think they don't have any choice but to print positive stories right now. All you have to do is see the recent pictures of them and follow them on Twitter to realize they are completely blissed out right now. Kind of hard to spin that negatively, at least right now.

What are the dates on the tabloids?

Sorry I always forget to look at tabloid dates. The dates will probably be in the early September range. But I can tell you who's on the covers:

People has the Kim Kardashian wedding photos on the cover. US has Jennifer Aniston's alleged baby countdown on the cover. Life & Style has a Jennifer Aniston having twins story as the main cover. In Touch has the story about Jada Pinkett Smith's and Will Smith's alleged separation and Marc Anthony's alleged involvement on the cover.

I just went to the Life & Style site and it says the new mag date is 9/5.

Diana: I saw the tabloids out on newsstands in New York today They should be in your local supermarkets and bookstores by Friday.

Ok, Thanks alot!

Ha ha...thanks cfck! Jawdropping is right!

Jawdropping indeed. I know their is nothing but positivity out there about Ashley and JP, but I am surprised they would include anything positive in that rag EVER! Figured they would just not say anything at all.

Heh heh. That's totally the philosophy they live by: If you can't say something rude, then don't say anything at all! Hilarious!

It warms my heart to see so much Cupcake love out there, but it's not helping me in the least to get over my obsession!

JP said Ashley Loves her Necklace and Never takes it off , I wonder if it is a gift from JP ?
:skating:

I think it was some type of 'swag' from that site that sells it to Ashley. I remember when Ali & Roberto got a ton of swag from those gifting suites, but nothing that cool. Not that we got to see anyway.

More & more it seems like they get these pieces of jewelry, clothing etc. as gifts/swag with the promise they will wear them and then promote. For example - Ashley calling out Reebok for their running shoes, Ali tweeting a pic with a bracelet in plain view then offering it for sale on Open Sky 'coincidently' because ppl asked her about it? Not so discreetly JP and Beezid - although he's obviously getting paid to promote their website.

And then they must be paid small appearance fees for places like the NYC spa.. and tweeting about wonderful dinners they had while purposely naming the restaurant. Sorta wondering how all that works myself!

What is the difference between JP and Ashley promoting something and being reimbursed for said promotion with either goods or payment and Ben promoting his wines (Evolve), TPTB getting accommodations all over the world for promotional consideration. I could go on ad nauseum about this. All of the game shows in the U.S. also get their prizes for promotional consideration. It is the way of commercial enterprise today.

All major players in the franchise are obligated to the franchise for a minimum period of time after their last appearance on the show and can only, I believe, promote with the blessings of TPTB.

As far as promoting stuff, JP & Ashley are no different then Chris Lambton getting tons of free stuff, shoes, sunglasses, shirts, and much more, for mentioning and promoting stuff, on twitter and in interviews, same with Peyton, Ali/Roberto, etc. etc. They all do it, they'd be fools not to. What's wrong with getting paid to endorse a product? It's done on TV everyday, but JP and Ashley are critiqued because they are doing what every other constestants (esp. successful couples) do??

Even the tabloid loves the cupcake couple, how can anyone not????

ETA Thanks cfck2222, I never buy them, but I may buy these with JP and Ashley positive articles.

I hope someone scans it for us!
