Star Magazine is reporting that Brad & Angelina tied the knot this weekend in New Orleans while People Magazine is denying the report!  

According to Star, Brangelina “tied the knot during an intimate wedding ceremony in the couple’s adopted city of New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday afternoon.”

People Magazine reports there was “no wedding.”

I hope Star is right cuz these two kids should be married!

Was there ever a question?

BREAKING NEWS:  The newspaper industry saw its worst drop in advertising revenue in more than 50 years, reports Editor & Publisher.   According to new data released by the Newspaper Association of America, total print advertising revenue in 2007 plunged to 9.4 percent to $42 billion compared to 2006 — the most sever percent decline since the association started measuring advertising expenditures in 1950.  (Editor & Publisher)

Earlier this week, I mentioned how disturbed I was that  Life & Style included the inset “Nicole…tells how she lost the weight.”

Why?  This is a woman who has battled weight issues for years and would the reader want to take weigh-loss advice from someone like her?

Anyhow, I have to admit I was curious so I thumbed through the magazine to find out the answer.

It’s not surprising that Miley Cyrus is under siege from the paps! 

She’s front and center of three major teen mags and the celeb weeklies are starting to make her a prime target. 

Poor thing!

Helen Mirren continues to defy age and this stunning photo of her on the cover of More magazine is no exception.

She tells the mag, “When you’re 16, you think 28 is old.  And then you get to 28 and it’s fabulous.  You think, then, what about 42?  UGH!  And then 42 is great.  As you reach each age, you gain the understanding you need to deal with it and enjoy it.”

Great advice and it’s clearly working for Helen who is 62!

“Details vice president and publisher Chris Mitchell is leaving his post to join Wired Media as vice president and publisher, overseeing sales and marketing for both print and digital platforms.  Mitchell succeeds Jay Lauf, who left his position to join The Atlantic as publisher.”  (WWD)

Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson selects the cover line Evil/Genius to describe Apple’s success.

J-14 dives into teen hearthrobs’ spring flings!

Ashlee Simpson tells Janet Giovanelli’s J-14 “I’ve always like guys that have an inner geek….I’m an inner geek myself! So I don’t take myself so seriously.”

And even though Miley Cyrus is not with anyone right now, it’s essential to have her thoughts on Spring Flings.

Cyrus tells J-14 “I need to cast one!” She admits “I check imdb.com and go through new actors.”   If not an actor, Miley will turn to sports for her new man.  “I want an athlete - it’s the trend,” she says.

Jose Canseco has a second book coming out titled “Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars and the Battle to Save Baseball,” names more names and makes more claims.  When asked if his motives have anything to do with money, he said “absolutely not.  My motive, and I will make it clear and I look you in the eyes, is to attack MLB. That’s my motive.”   (Huffington Post)
