MSNBC says that 5,000 to 10,000 subscribers canceled their subscriptions to Us Weekly after the tab published its "Babies, Lies & Scandal" hatchet-job cover story on Sarah Palin, although the magazine says the cancelation number is closer to 1,000. Us publisher Jann Wenner is an active supporter of Obama and has endorsed the Dem in Rolling Stone. An editor at another magazine told MSNBC that the mistake Us made was in "thinking everyone who reads Us is a Democrat, when they're not." (Page Six) ...

The PR for the oddly punctuated band, Portugal. The Man, tells us that the most famous person from Wasilla, Alaska, right now might be Sarah Palin, but right behind her are Wasilla natives John Baldwin Gourley and Zachary Scott Carothers, two members of the indie-rock band whose new album Censored Colors was given four-and-a-half stars by the Alternative Press and whose musicians were called "one of the truly great bands of this generation." Gourley has just written a passionate essay on the band's website about his Alaska, what a true Alaskan is, and why the American ...
Fenton Bailey emailed the photographer Stephen Nowers who took this iconic shot of Palin in her office, and he promptly replied:
"It's a very Alaskan picture to be sure. I was covering the governor on assignment for the Anchorage Daily News (with reporter Tom Kizzia). Not sure what the story is on the crab, but it's sitting on a coffee table in her office. I have no reason to believe that it's not there all the time (as of last year, of course). I also recorded the interview and produced a short audio slide show for adn.com which shows ...
The third of our featured "Dollypop" artists is Richard Frost, a Los Angeles resident and masterful painter of caricature-like celebrity portraits.

Although Drudge reported this morning that sources said the staff of the Oprah show were divided on whether to book Sarah Palin, Oprah has refuted that, saying the subject never even came up. "At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates," Winfrey said in a statement to – are you ready? – TMZ. "I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, ...

Cliff Richard, a dreamy British teen idol in the '50s and '60s with more No 1 hits than the Beatles and Elvis and the first rock star to be knighted, has just written his autobiography called My Life, My Way, which would lead one to believe the 67-year-old spills the inside story of his relationship with longtime live-in lover John McElynn. But no. He writes that the former priest from New York simply takes care of his property and is also a companion "because I don't like living alone, even now." As for his sexuality, he says, I ...
There's something exceedingly Chery Grove lesbian all dolled up for a date about her. She does her eyes and mouth like a toned-down Pamela Anderson. Seriously. Has the woman not heard of Republican Red lipstick and nails? And where, oh where, is she getting that dead caribou-colored eye shadow?
