The National Enquirer almost always uses red and yellow to bring attention to the headlines. Because their tabloids are sold at the check-out lines, they say something shocking in big, bold, bright letters to grab the attention of a shopper so they will buy it.
This article from the National Enquirer is aimed at an audience that wants in on the celebrity gossip. The picture of Eva and Eduardo shows them being affectionate, while the face shot of Penelope Cruz makes her seem angry and upset. The two are obviously not taken from the same place or time, but the contrast of emotion in the two pictures immediately makes the reader think that there is some type of disagreement or fighting going on between the two. The big and bold headline across the middle of the picture, "Dump Eva!" makes the reader think there is this big scandal between Eva and Penelope, calling your attention to the pictures and the controversy. The writer argues that Penelope wants her little brother to break things off with Eva Longoria. They also keep referring to an unnamed "source" that gives quotes about what Penelope really thinks. The whole article is based around this questionable source, making it unreliable. Overall, the pictures are misleading and there's nothing to back up the story.
