Maxim touts Marissa Miller as “the All-American Girl.”

Miller’s response: “I love it. I think in the ’80s and early 90s, we had major American icons with Cindy [Crawford] and Christie Brinkley and Stephanie Seymour. The past ten years we really haven’t had that.”

“I’m a tomboy,” she admits in the new issue of Maxim.

“Already today I’ve changed two light bulbs and hung a picture.

When I bought my house, the toilet ring needed to be changed so I got a how-to-book and did it myself.  As long as it doesn’t involve gas or electricity or blowing up the house, I’ll totally give it a try.”

She’s #10 on CoverAwards’ Hot Cover List 2008!

AND DECIDES TO GO BACK TO RETIREMENT!

Kent Brownridge is seeking a new chief marketing officer for Alpha Media now that Joe Mangione has decided to return to retirement, according to Mediaweek.

On the job for just six months, Mangione tells Mediaweek, “I just decided I didn’t want to work that hard anymore or see Ken Brownridge every day.”

Or maybe cuz it’s hard to market shitty covers like the one above?

Maxim got a whole lot of sh#@ for NOT reviewing a “full” album. Well, now its lost its number two editor A.J. Baime, according to Jeff Bercovici at Portfolio.

To top it off, newsstand sales are down. This doesn’t surprise me at all! Read my recent critique and you’ll see why.
