ELI5: To what journalistic standard--if any--are the celebrity tabloids we see in the supermarket checkout held? Is there any truth or substance to the headlines/articles, or are they just outright lies to sell magazines?

There is absolutely no truth or substance to the claims. In fact one controlling factor is that they shouldn't make claims that a reasonable person would interpret as being true; saying that someone is actually an alien in disguise is protected speech, but saying they have been arrested for driving while intoxicated could be grounds for a defamation suit.
