On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart laid into Newsweek's Editor-In-Chief Tina Brown for their recent cover of Bachmann looking like she was a deer in headlights (Brown, of course, defended the image). You see, Stewart believes that Michele Bachmann is a many number of things, but she is absolutely photogenic, saying "You gotta go pretty far out of the way to find a crappy photo of Michele Bachmann — and you did. Why?" More »

Shudder-inducing fanfic of the week: The new issue of Newsweek features a story called "Diana At 50: If She Were Here Now," by none other than Tina Brown. The digital artwork on the cover reanimates Diana so that she is walking alongside daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, who is gazing adoringly at the People's Princess and ignoring the fact that if this is really happening, Di is a zombie. The Atlantic Wire asks, "How Creepy Is Princess Diana's Ghost on the Cover of Newsweek?" Answer: Very! More »

• Designer (and husband of Barneys creative director/fashion sage Simon Doonan) Jonathan Adler is selling a needlepoint pillow emblazoned with the pro-ana proverb "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." Which, as Adler should know, is pretty much anorexia's catchphrase. [Racked]

Anchee Min is a novelist, but that doesn't really capture what she does as a woman. What she does is grab an audience, and hold them in the palm of her hand, as she demonstrated on Saturday. More »

Tina Brown continued her belittlement campaign against Hillary Clinton today, telling Morning Joe that Clinton "needs to get back in the gym." Will this "tide of trivialization," as the Times' Judith Warner calls it, keep Clinton from doing her job? More »

At first the media said Hillary Clinton's visit to Africa was overshadowed by her husband's trip to North Korea. Now the work she's trying to do — including stopping rape in Congo — is overshadowed by coverage of that overshadowing. More »

Uh-oh! Remember how the Daily Beast ran a Project Runway inaugural gown challenge? Turns out that the sketch allegedly done by Jay McCarroll was actually created by Jay McCarrol, with one L, a musician who was (erroneously) contacted by a writer. Even though McCarrol was not the intended target of a pitch email for the project, he went ahead and sent a dress (sketched by a friend.) Tina Brown, editor of the Beast, has been informed of the "hoax" and pulled the design. Meanwhile, McCarrol's friend, a 20-year-old student at Toronto's Ryerson University, may have a future in fashion, no? [The Smoking Gun] More »

Book editor Julia Cheiffetz is royally P.O.'ed that Malcolm Gladwell's new book about extraordinary achievers, Outliers, does not include a single woman. "What about Virginia Woolf, Susan Sontag, Tina Brown, or Indra Nooyi, the CEO of PepsiCo? What about Oprah?" Cheiffetz asks in the Huffington Post, before adding, "The omission of women in Outliers says more about the nature of 'big think' books than it does about Mr. Gladwell. Since the publication of The Tipping Point in 2002, we've seen a proliferation of books that present a single, shrink-wrapped idea as a means of understanding the world at large…until we get in the ring and start claiming our own big ideas in book form, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised if current discourse leaves us on the sidelines."

Talk about "thirty ways of looking at Hillary": There is slew of female-penned articles in the new Newsweek about Hillary Clinton, gender, what the Democratic presidential candidate means to post-menopausal women, 20-somethings, "tae kwon do moms", pre-teen meth abusers... even that elusive centaur demographic. (Joke.) Sound familiar? It should! After all, the what-Hillary-means-to-women story has been done to death. But Newsweek does have some worthwhile nuggets, starting with Tina Brown's insightful essay about boomer women and how they are ignored by America's "relentless youth culture." Of course, the former New Yorker editrix can't resist planting a few underminery jibes at Hillary — she calls Clinton "inspiringly pedestrian" — but, by in large, Brown is sympathetic to Hillary's plight as whipping girl in a culture that vilifies aging females.
