Kelsey Grammer has been hospitalized in New York.
“Kelsey felt faint last night so he went to the hospital to have things checked out,” his rep tells Usmagazine.com. “They are altering his medications…and he is expected to be released Tuesday.”
“Just as news broke of Tim Russert’s sudden death, Newsmax magazine’s July 2008 cover story was hitting newsstands — featuring Tim Russert on its cover,” according to the magazine’s web site.
Brian Williams, the anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” will be the moderator of “Meet the Press” this Sunday, taking the place of Tim Russert, who died last Friday, NBC News said.
His guests will be Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, and Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of Delaware, who were to have been Tim Russert’s guests last Sunday. NBC has not decided on a permanent replacement for Mr. Russert.
TV Guide gave me a good laugh last night when I saw it on Perez Hilton.
I wonder why CoverAwards wasn’t sent an copy ahead of time? Hmmm.
BTW - I laughed even harder when I saw it up-close.
What a disaster.
Here, in short, is why this cover WILL BE A BIG STINKER ON THE NEWSSTAND:
People Magazine led by Larry Hackett delivers a heartfelt cover featuring the death of Tim Russert.
The main line “A Family’s Heartbreak” is truly emotional and is want the reader wants to know about at this moment.
His wife Maureen has not been heard from since this tragedy occurred on Friday, and People magazine delivers with her feelings on Tim and his life.
The main cover coupled with the hot pic of Mario Lopez (no need to cover any part of his abs) and the wedding of Sarah Evans makes this cover one of the strongest of the year for People Magazine.
Bottom Line: I predict this cover will sell over 2 million copies on the newsstand

The death of Tim Russert is still shocking.
With all the celeb weeklies closing their issues today, many will be deciding how to treat the story on their covers.
While Tim wasn’t your typical “celebrity weekly” subject, his untimely death is what everyone in the country is talking about.
I believe that People magazine will make this story its main cover on Wednesday. This wouldn’t surprise me at all.
There’s also a slight chance that In Touch Weekly could go for this story. However, the magazine has not had much success covering stories outside the celebrity arena. The mag had dismal sales when it covered the Virginia tech shootings.
I expect either the Globe or the National Enquirer to feature Tim on their cover — most likely the National Enquirer.
Each of the weeklies will at least have an inset on their cover.

Only days after the sudden death of Tim Russert, NBC News now must find the person to replace him on Meet the Press, according to the New York Times.
“Nobody should even think about replacing Tim Russert,” Jeff Zucker tells the NY Times. “What someone will need to do is find the next way to do ‘Meet the Press’ and provide political analysis. Anybody who thinks they can replace Tim Russert is kidding themselves.”
The potential candidates for Meet the Press include Brian Williams, David Gregory, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann.
NBC could smooth the transition by offering the post on a temporary basis to Tom Brokaw, who stepped down as the network’s anchor in 2004. Katie Couric’s name has also been thrown in the mix.
Thoughts?
The New York Post offers a fitting full-page tribute to Tim Russert.
The tributes for Tim Russert continue, including Bob Schieffer, Walter Cronkite, Nancy Reagan, Ethel Kennedy, George Stephanopoulos, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Barack Obama, President Bush, Andrea Mitchell, Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw.
