Daddy dearest

-

It’s almost Father’s Day, and the gossip mags are celebratin­g. For most families, the celebratio­n will be done quietly and with little drama. And there is Ivanka Trump, Kourtney Kardashian and Katie Holmes — each of whom will, no doubt, have a very unique way of making the day special.

Trump is the cover story in Us Weekly in a piece that carries the teaser: Why I Disagree With My Dad.” Alas, there is very little “why” — and instead we get from the president’s “beloved daughter” a lot of re-heated blahblah-blah about her interest in LGBT rights, women’s issues and climate change.

The story buffs the Ivanka brand nicely. It tells the heartwarmi­ng story of how the 35year-old juggles being a loving mom, a caring and devoted wife, a globe-trotting member of the administra­tion — while pushing her book and look.

In Star, ever the competitiv­e one, out-does Us by having two stories bound to make Father’s Day extra special for two families.

Kardashian, according to this week’s issue, has finally gotten disgusted enough with her ex, sex addict Scott Disick, that she is “ready” to warn him to stay away from their kids — Mason, Penelope and Reign.

The kids will be much better under Kourtney’s care, the mag explains, because, according to a source, “Their kids are reaching the impression­able age where their father’s behavior could warp their concept of right and wrong.” Exactly.

Even more juicy — and, perhaps, even more false — is Star’s cover story on Holmes’ possible tell-all memoir about her marriage to Tom Cruise and romance with Jamie Foxx.

Our love of the gossip mags grows the further out on the plausibili­ty limb they shimmy.

The story of Holmes’ possible $8 million memoir is already being shot down, much like Star’s story last July that she was preggers with Foxx’s baby-to-be.

We hope Cruise can ignore this story and simply enjoy what could be his favorite day of the year — while enjoying some daddy-daughter time with 11-year-old Suri.
