We trawl through the gossip mags, so you don't have to.

Loved up Clooneys ready to start a family?

Now that silver fox George Clooney is officially married to his love Amal Alamuddin, you would think everyone's interest would be starting to wane. We've already heard every single detail about the couple's big day.

But New Idea still has a few dishy details to divulge. Apparently, now the couple have tied the knot, they're jumping onto the next thing - kids. A source has revealed Clooney said "they were going for gold on their wedding night".

"He sees no reason to wait to start a family and Amal agrees."

How gross, I mean, lovely. It's definitely a big turn around for George Clooney who used to insist that he would always remain a bachelor.

Pippa going off the rails and getting married

This week the gossip mags are in an uproar over Pippa Middleton's less than royal behaviour. The New Idea cover story shows Middleton getting rowdy, downing glasses of alcohol, dancing about and kissing her long-term boyfriend Nico Jackson - how terrible.

Woman's Day, who also has Middleton on the cover (with the same picture as New Idea - oops), goes in-depth into Middleton's romance with Jackson, reporting the pair are serious about marriage.

A source tells Woman's Day that "Nico definitely wants to marry Pippa but insisted he wants to wait," while Pippa supposedly "wants a ring on her finger before Christmas".

Meanwhile, Women's Weekly has noted that the couple attended the wedding of Middleton's ex Charlie Gilkes, a nightclub entrepreneur. Absolutely scandalous.

Baby Madden-Diaz on the way?

There is a trend this week of couples getting pregnant and/or married. Unlikely couple Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have just been added to the list. New Idea says the pars are "in love and actively trying for a baby so setting a date for their wedding was natural."

However Woman's Day says that although Diaz is keen to get hitched to her rock-star beau, there is no way she wants to be a mum and it could be a deal breaker for their relationship.

Hopefully the couple are able to come to some kind of agreement before their wedding day, which is reportedly going to take place in Hawaii.

The Paltrow, Martin, J-Law saga continues

At first reports were coming in that that Gywneth Paltrow was fuming over Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence's relationship, but now it seems the Iron Man actress has mellowed a little with New Idea revealing Paltrow is being surprisingly cool and is actually delighted for her ex.

Who knows what's really true, but a source says that "Gwyn proposed the three of them meet so that they could all be on level ground before Jen met their kids," going on to reveal that "the meeting went well enough that Gwyn and Jen even talked about collaborating on a movie together."

Maybe Paltrow can be in the fourth Hunger Games movie with J Law and Chris Martin can put a song together for the soundtrack?

Is Harry Styles dating Katy Perry?

Gossip is flying that One Direction singer Harry Styles is dating Dark Horse singer Katy Perry. New Idea reports that the pair were spotted dining together in Malibu at Nobu.

This could cause quite a stir if Taylor Swift finds out. The I Knew You Were Troublehit maker dated Styles back in 2012 and has recently been feuding with Perry. For Perry to date Swift's ex just rubs salt in the singer's wounds.

Poor Swifty, hopefully she'll be able to Shake It Off.
