What, no wardrobe budget for LeAnn & Eddie?

People magazine did a photo shoot with the gruesome twosome that is Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes recently. 
But we couldn't help but notice that we've seen those clothes before, a lot. 
Seems the magazine didn't provide a wardrobe budget for the disastrous duo!

Which came first, the chicken (the story) or the egg (a blog)?

When you read a tabloid magazine article you may wonder, where do they get their information? 
You would think there are diligent reporters pounding keyboards fielding phone calls from sources, and vetting those sources, but the reality is much different. 
The majority of info given to magazines like People come through publicists or the celeb themselves. 
But publicists and their famous clients don't trust the tabloids, so Star 'reporters' are busy trolling the web, reading gossip blogs, looking at paparazzi photos, doing what any of us can do to get info. 
If you are a 'source' for these tabloids, you will know that what you've told them will end up in an upcoming issue. 
"How did [X] know that? [X] must be right!" 
Or you may just know that the lazy reporters have trolled your blog and will inevitably take the info --this doesn't make the information correct or the blogger prescient. 
Someone reading a blog could phone that info into a tabloid in the hopes of making some quick cash, it doesn't make it accurate. 
This issue of Star [below] had two major errors, the fact that LeAnn Rimes does not live in the Hollywood Hills, and the fact that Jake Cibrian's first name is not Austin. Is this from editorial laziness, or from sources who don't really have their facts straight? 
The 'drunk in a closet' stuff is inevitably from a Star reporter reading a blogger's blind item, and the $50 million is a fantasy and highly inflated version of LeAnn Rimes' actual wealth. 
Who wants to read about a $1.2 million divorce? BIG numbers get BIG attention.
While we do believe Mr Ed is in a living hell of his own making with the country crooner, we don't believe he's throwing in the towel--yet. 

Adam Levine will be People magazine's 'sexiest man alive' for 2013

The issue comes out next week, but we hear The Voice judge will be named the 2013 'sexiest' cover boy. 

In case you forgot: last year Channing Tatum took the title, before that it was Bradley Cooper, and in 2010 it was Ryan Reynolds. 

When celebs have something to promote, they sure can play the disease/disorder/dysfunction card!

Case in point, Mischa Barton has clawed her way out of obscurity to land the cover of People magazine. Seems she shared a padded room with LeAnn Rimes at one point. What a coincidence that she has a new project she wants to plug, whodathunk? 

Sorry Mischa and People, we like Star's Bruce Jenner cover better...

Birthday girl Valerie Harper finds out that media friends are fast and fake

Valerie Harper turned 74 on August 22, 2013, but no one wrote about it and no one seemed to care.
How can it be that fickle media friend People mag put her on the cover in March with a "six months to live" tag line (due to a brain cancer diagnosis) and then forgot about her birthday?
Six months after their cover and she made it to the ripe (oldish) age of 74, good for her.
Harper also got an acting job and flew all the way to Canada to work on a TV movie in early August.
One day you're headlines around the world, and the next day Miley Cyrus is "twerking" with a foam finger on an awards show and you're forgotten entirely.

So, we'll say it, 'Happy Birthday Valerie,' we're glad you're going strong!
