TV GUIDE COVERS PEOPLE MAGAZINE’S HOTTEST BACHELOR MARIO LOPEZ
Macrovision Solutions Corporation’s TV Guide has officially entered Inside TV land.
The name of the magazine is TV Guide and the cover story subscribers will be receiving is a story about “Hot Bods.”
I’m sure they’ll be thrilled.
This issue will also be on the newsstand next to other celebrity weeklies - which already have cornered the market on these types of covers. You already saw In Touch’s cover earlier today.
Yes, the picture of Mario Lopez and Audrina Partridge is striking. But again, the editors of TV Guide have made some catastrophic decisions in making this its cover. Here’s why this cover will not work:
- Why photograph Mario Lopez with Audrina Partridge like this? They’re not a couple? It’s weird.
- Do readers really care about Audrina? The Hills is not even on-air right now.
- And what’s the biggest mistake? Mario Lopez was the inset of People’s cover last week as People’s hottest bachelor - which probably sold through the roof. He was all over TV hawking his semi-nude pics. So, basically TV Guide is featuring People’s hottest bachelor as its cover one week later. What are they thinking?
Bottom Line: Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
