Time Magazine Goes Rogue With No Palin Cover
It looks like Time is the first to opt off the Sarah Palin media gravy train, which may or may not mean the rest of us also get to stop talking about her in the near future.
It’s an interesting decision for the magazine to make — it’s not like they tend to shy away from topical or controversial covers, and Palin is a surefire conversation (newsstand) starter.
However, perhaps they felt they were so thoroughly trumped in the topical, controversial, week-long headline generating department by Newsweek’s cover that they opted out of the game altogether (literally: none of the feature articles address Palin). That said, this cover is sure to be a big conversation piece with the Park Slope crowd.
Update: Office Hours favorite James Poniewozik has a media column about Palin that just went live: Survivor: Alaska.

felixw says: Time magazine would have put a photo of Obama on the cover, but after 239 cover stories on Obama they have run out of photos of him. I guess they could get creative, and pull out an old photo of him in running shorts, but that would be a desperate act, huh?

Probably a good thing they didn’t then.

TinaFromTampa says: In a way, this cover does relate to the former Mayor of Wasilla.
It’s obvious she wasn’t paying close attention to what her daughter Bristol was doing.

Interesting. I wonder if this opinion of yours that someone how her parental role is important, was the same view you took when Bill Clinton wasn’t watching his daughter… you know, because he was harrassing workers and diddling interns. Oh, what am I saying… Clinton was a Democrat… it doesn’t matter what he did… I forgot the double standard. My mistake.
BTW… how’s the stalking going? Making a difference yet?

SI Swimsuit Cover: Brooklyn Decker Joins Illustrious Pantheon, Tweets About It
Ladies and gentlemen — eh, who are we kidding, gentlemen — your Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2010 Cover Model: Brooklyn Decker! As has become something of a tradition, the announcement was made on the Late Show with David Letterman, which broadcast the unveiling of a giant nearly-naked billboard in Times Square. Decker has additional SI heft by marriage: her husband is tennis star Andy Roddick. Wow, too bad their babies will be so ugly.
NYC Tabloids Will Have A Paterson Scandal No Matter What!
New York was promised a government sex scandal, dammit, and we better well get one! At least if the New York City tabloids have anything to do with it. Apparently not satisfied with the news that the New York Times has only a sort of mediocre scandal to report in their much-gossiped about upcoming David Paterson profile, the tabloids have taken it upon themselves to stir up as much "chaos" as possible.
