After working at lady mags for over 20+ years, I still cannot find the energy to gloat at the demise of the industry that intially bought me such joy. There are so many good, hard working editors that are jobless, or like me reinventing themselves in a dying industry that is innundated with young women, and men willing to work for nothing, that live at home. We "Oldies"..can't compete...
Much as I dislike the ladymags, I work in print media. As goes their advertising, so goes all other print publications' advertising. It is a deeply disturbing state of affairs and not one I wish to gloat about.
@ihateyourescalade: Yeah, as passionate as I am about magazines like Bitch, it can only support so many low or unpaid staff members and freelancers. Lady mags can't change if they cease to exist.
The September InStyle was heavy as hell and chock full of ads and fashion spreads for thigh high boots. I don't want 3 pounds of ads and I certainly can't wear thigh high boots to work, thanks.
I'm getting really, really sick of Dina Lohan's excusing Lindsay's reckless behavior with an obligatory mention of her age. She's just 18! She's just 19! She's just 22! Look, youth is hard. But if you see multiple rehab visits, obvious (even to the outside) codependency issues, and work problems resulting from unreliability, you can't just paint over it with the "She's young and just figuring things out" brush. She is an adult now, and her mom's attitude isn't helping her to take ownership of her life and responsibility for her actions.
Re: remakes of EVERYTHING ... I'm convinced that Flashdance is going to be remade pretty soon, if only because FAME and Footloose already are. They're the three big 80s teen dance movies for me.
So I guess we don't need to watch the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy since we now know that TR Knight got let out of his contract and Katherine Heigl is staying?
Seeing those pictures of Guy Ritchie attending the same bash as Sienna Miller and Patrick Kielty, reminds me of why I find him so irritating. Despite having a mother who is an aristocrat and growing up in a vast mansion surrounded by hundreds of acres of land, he affects a working class accent and tries to pretend he is just a working class geezer in his shell suit top and jeans. However he made sure he got Madonna's mansion and country estate in the divorce so he can revert back to being the upper class toff he really is when the cameras aren't on him.
I don't think the Britney item is that big of a deal. She is probably in a different city everyday, and just lost track of where she was. She wouldn't be the first singer to do so. I believe many acts will have their current city written on their set lists.

Sad. But at least she's honest.

An actress starving herself? Well at least it'll be for a good cause. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would pay them to eat however.
