I doubt this will happen often enough to be a weekly award, but People definitely wins the most unnecessary punctuation of the week award with this headline.

Lindsay: Toxic Family?

Earlier examples of unnecessary punctuation on magazine covers include

Love Bird Alert™:Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge back together

Publication: OK!
Date: 30 August 2010

The second most famous teen mom of the decade, Jamie Lynn Spears, has decided to follow the lead of Bristol Palin and hook up with her original baby daddy. According to OK!, she's back with Casey Aldridge, the young man she broke up with back in February for the love of a more mature and responsible man.

Well, let's say the other guy was older, which made him more mature. There are conflicting stories as to whether he was responsible or not.

Here's hoping Jamie Lynn had better luck than Bristol.

Sandy's fresh start.

Other supermarket rags this week focused on Jesse James being seen in public with another woman. People got an exclusive interview with Sandra Bullock. Her view of how her life is going is a little different from the tabloid view. The most important thing that happened in her life recently is that the adoption of Louis Bardo Bullock is now complete.

I am not actually a confidant of Sandra Bullock, but I have to believe her thought process goes something like this.

I married a guy who used to be married to a porn star. Major warning sign ignored! Okay, that was a mistake, but I'm not Hillary Clinton or Tammy Wynette. I have a lick of sense and a shred of dignity, so this rodeo clown is out the door.

So, he's dating again? Am I crushed? Hello? As I stated previously, I have a lick of sense. It wasn't like I expected this cooze hound to become a monk. I've moved on. If he finds someone to have sex with before I do, that's completely expected. His standards are much, much lower than mine are now. I tried low standards once and I got him. That's not happening again.

Sandy's fresh start.

And the camera noses in to the tears on her face:Sandra crushed because Jesse is dating.

Jesse James being seen in public with another woman after his divorce is on the cover of four supermarket rags this week. Weekly Life & Style got a Meanest Story nomination for adding the detail that Jesse blames Sandy for his infidelity. These two stories didn't get quite so personal, but they had a similar slant.

National Enquirer: New heartache for Sandy: Jesse and Kat Von D.
In Touch: Jesse's Dating! Stabbed in the Heart

The In Touch story has a picture of Sandy, as she is the one who they think has been figuratively stabbed in the heart. Given the lovely class of people Jesse James hangs out with, it's possible he may yet be literally stabbed in the heart, but it hasn't happened yet.
