In a blockbuster world exclusive, this week's issue blows the lid off the couple's final showdown as sources reveal where Laura is living and George Bush's bouts with whiskey! You won't want to miss a single word."

5. Poor Barney

I've never seen a dog with such a long suffering look in it's eye. The look on his face makes me think of a mother who's watching her problem child get into more trouble.
