Bonnie Fuller, head of HollywoodLife.com and former editor of multiple mags like Glamour and Marie Claire, has some thoughts about why most women's magazines have lackluster websites. While it should be noted that her most recent column for Ad Age is partially just a giant advertisement for her website and editorial…
Amazing. The woman who made millions by exploiting female insecurity - and devoted multiple, snarky covers of the tabloids she edited to close-up shots of cellulite - is invited on Today to offer expertise about the "empowerment" of unretouched photos.
One magazine editor "is universally regarded as terrifying, both by those who have worked for her and those who haven't." Another, "pretty much universally regarded as a world-class slave driver." Is Real Simple editor-in-chief Kristin van Ogtrop baiting us?
A new round of self-congratulation among the fashion industry's boosters argues that this past season was great for "curvy" girls, such as the "womanly" Laetitia Casta at Vuitton. What are we really talking about here? Boobs.
Hollywood Life editor and former celeb-weekly queen Bonnie Fuller says of the celebrity gossip habit, "It's helping women. Of course it's healthy."
The new gossip website HollywoodLife, which launched today, is selling two points hard: queen of celebrity sausage-making Bonnie Fuller, and the idea that The Internet Is a Conversation in which you and Bonnie are BFFs. So: are you buying?
CosMarieGlamVogBazElle sure can be a tedious read; from month to month, our favorite ladymags seem to delight in the twin pleasures of reprinting editorials wholesale and publishing story after story with a distinct Groundhog Monthly ring. Ever wondered why?
What do you get when you take the first black presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, an A-list celebrity couple, a marketing executive for a perfume company, and a self-aggrandizing, former celebrity and ladymag editor who knows nothing about politics but is desperately trying to stay relevant? Apparently, you…
In the olden days, magazine editors were famed for...well, I guess not a lot of them were famed so much as respected: for cultivating writers, ushering in new journalistic forms and most critically, broadening the horizons and sating the curiosities of any reader longing for a connection with the world outside…
The woman in the commercial for the mysterious "Lifestyle Lift," above, is not Bonnie Fuller, former editor of Star, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and YM. But "Susan" certainly looks and sounds like the notoriously-difficult, oft-mocked editorial director of American Media. Coincidence? You be the judge. Here's a clip of the…
Every Midweek Bonnie Fuller writes a column for the Huffington Post about ha ha ha, celebrities are such dysfunctional and amoral people, and how great it is for momanity that celebrities are such bad mothers so we don't have to feel guilty etc. etc. And every week the thing is so offensive — Bonnie Fuller, so you…
We've discovered a pattern! Every Wednesday the magazine Star comes out, Bonnie Fuller writes a column for the Huffington Post about something that appears in Star. Because she's the editorial director of the company that owns Star! Oh yes, and also every single column is devoted to skewering Angelina Jolie. The first…
It's that time of year, so let's give thanks to Bonnie Fuller. She's the editorial genius who brought us Us Weekly in its current incarnation and now brings us Star. Without her, we would arguably have no a menagerie of well-styled, wealthy people with flexible workweeks to pointlessly follow in the pages of US and …
Star editorial-something Bonnie Fuller came out of crappy circulation-induced hiding today to blog a few words of gratitude to Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie, and not for providing the fodder that seven-figure salary packages and wardrobe allowances are made of! See, watching Britney and Angelina makes her feel…
We love bitching and moaning over the crap-ass content found in the major American women's magazines: The airbrushing; the crazy sex tips; the purple prose; the inherent dishonesty; the expensive shit. But were women's magazines always this bad? We procured copies of October issues of Cosmopolitan representing four…
Watching is all I can do... Every book we read, every TV show we watch we relish the glance we get into someone else's world. I feel like I've seen everything. I'm the ultimate voyeur, nothing's a mystery, I've built up this tolerance to watching...
