    All I have to say is that if I had the option of hanging out with Marjane Satrapi, Sean Penn wouldn't even register. She is beyond amazing.

    All of this is exactly why I canceled my subscription. The final straw was a story about the marriage secrets of the Obamas. Hello? I want sports and fitness information, not relationship advice from the First Lady!

    The only women's fitness magazine I ever read anymore is Her Muscle and Fitness, but even that is losing out to Stumptuous.

    @BestEuphemismEver: I love Runners World! The husband and I are both distance runners, and it's practically our Bible. I haven't seen that cover before, though. It's fantastic. I can see why it's so requested!

    I came home from work yesterday and in was in the reading room *cough*the shitter*cough* and found that Mr. Vivelafat had taken a black magic marker and written over the cover of all of my magazines. He wrote things like "I don't actually look like this" and "I'm photoshopped".
    It was the most romantic thing ever and it made me feel much better!

    @RomanaTwo: I suggest that everyone do it to their magazines. It really does take some of the sting out of "Eat, Drink and still Shrink," when someone has written "What about being MERRY!!! Can I still shrink??" next to it in black marker.

    True Story: I wrote an angry letter to Men's Health complaining about their sexist ad campaign. I never received a response, but a couple of months later Women's Health starting magically arriving in my mailbox, addressed to me. I now have to launch into a monthly rant about how sexy bikini bodies and the season's trendiest nailpolish have jack shit to do with actual women's health. (I do cut out some of the recipes, though.) After about a year of this I started magically receiving Shape magazine along with the Women's Health. Obviously these lady mags are just fucking with me at this point.

    @Benevolent_Dictatrix (patently absurd): Did you subscribe to Men's Health originally? Having some knowledge of how magazine circulation works, I think it is very possible your letter had nothing to do with it. Magazines buy each others subscription lists and try them out all the time. I'm guessing Women's Health did a mailshot to some number of female subscribers to Men's Health.

    @Benevolent_Dictatrix (patently absurd): If you ever subscribed to it, still possible. I bet when Women's Health started they were interested in all the women who used to subscribe to Men's Health and had stopped. Probably seemed like a promising group.

    You know, I've always had a big crush on Natalie Portman, and always had a ton of respect for her because of her intellect and (mostly) awesome choice of movie roles. But I am still waiting for her to explain the Polanski business. It's putting a serious damper on my Natalie-love.

    I wish they would have asked her about Roman Polanksi; it's well-known her name is on that petition. Fair game.

    I don't particularly understand her point about muse-ship, especially since muse-ship has been the sole reason for her characters in both Beautiful Girls and Garden State. Perhaps others, too.

    She's notoriously choosy about the roles she accepts, so why would she want to represent a muse if she is so uncomfortable with the idea in real-life? Seems contradictory to me.

    @PaigeTurner: A fashion mag like Marie-Claire is probably going to shy away from anything vaguely controversial like the Polanski support. I'm not shocked that they don't even touch upon it.

    Not a huge fan of her acting resume, but she's got a damned good point about muses. What's the point of a woman being behind every good man if they never get any recognition beyond a book's dedication page?

    Natalie, if you're jealous because Scarlett was better than you in The Other Boleyn Girl, let me assure you: You were both equally terrible.

    "I feel like througout history, it's been men vampiring on women's specialness."

    Though I do think that is a funny/clever way to phrase that... the artist sucks the life out of the muse...

    Dammit. I want to hate her because she's perpetuating the Jane Austen Zombie thing that just won't die (there's a zombie joke in that somewhere...), which I hate, but then she goes all looking adorable and wearing covetable lipcolor on that cover, and even daring not to fawn over Woody Allen and ScarJo, and she makes me like her again.

    That said, they should really be dressing the archetypal Manic Pixie Dreamgirl as Tinkerbell, shouldn't they?
