Been there, done that

Dear Ms. Cathie Black,

Quick word with you, as I'm so bothered, I had to stop everything that's going right now to write you this note. There has been a rumor going around that Glenda Bailey's job as Harper's editor-in-chief was in jeopardy. Yet Hearst recently decided to renew her contract, because they said, "If you think about it, she's really not doing a bad job".

I beg to differ. I present to you the offending piece of evidence.

Somewhere, a wrinkle of shock has broken through the Botox on Demi Moore's forehead.

No. No. No. No! I mean, why??? Anyone who would okay this cover of a pregnant Britney Spears deserves to be fired for plagiarism. Of ideas. Of concepts. Of innovation. Because this has all been done before.

Fresh...

...and then that "not so fresh" feeling

Listen, when Vanity Fair did it, it was an innovation and Demi was a hot commodity at the time. If you're going to rip off the cover, at least honor it somehow. Then it's a bit "retro" and cute, like when Esquire had Britney pose in the same way Ann Margaret did for them years ago. Couldn't you have her pose with a bag of Cheetos or wear a trucker hat with an evening dress, you know, for irony?

You can't pass off a can of Spam as pate!

Signed,

Your friendly neighborhood M

P.S. The hills are alive with the sound of K-Fed laughing all the way to the bank...

"That's my lifetime guarantee to this jet sitting right there!"

Don't be a hater. Brittany Spears is a talented performer. I respect her as an artist, mother and humanitarian. Mabye you feel a need to make fun of her because you are jealous, insecure or have no self esteem.







That was sarcasm, just in case you couldn't tell. Sweet blog.
