Just when we were thinking to ourselves, "Gee. Time's 'Sex. Lies. Arrogance. What makes powerful men act like pigs" cover was insulting to the piglet in the lower right corner, we saw the apologetic asterisk next to it saying, "No offense." Well, being men, we're kind of offended--but then again, we're not powerful--so they're not talking about us. Inside, Tim Pawlenty says he can win the election--though he seems to be the only one who thinks so.
Maybe Timbo should blame Fox News. According to New York's cover story, Fox News "made a circus out of the Republican Party--and boy, does Roger Ailes regret it now." Wethinks they give Fox too much credit--and wonder if Ailes knows what regret is.
Bethenny Frankel is "the It girl of reality TV" on the cover of Forbes, the story being "The new celebrity money makers--the rise of Hollywood's entrepreneurial elite." Frankel earned her cover spot for selling her line of Skinnygirl drinks for $100 million. The mag also positions her at No. 42 in "The Celebrity 100--the richest stars": The list is topped by Lady Gaga, who's not the richest, but the biggest celebrity--or so says Forbes. More substantial and admirable, though, is the list of 18 people who have donated over $1 billion, headed by Bill Gates and his $28 billion in donations--half of his net worth.
With the season of American Idol coming to a close, The Hollywood Reporter offers an "Idol players tell all" in its "How a Hit Show Was Reborn" cover story, the picture featuring the show's four on-air stars. "Hot news form Cannes" can be found inside, along with the "awards show host crisis" (the Emmys', in particular) and Todd McCarthy's review of the Cannes winner Tree of Life.
Finally, Billboard is wrapped in a "Mana Drama Y Luz" ad, with the inside cover going to "not your normal indie rock star" Bon Iver. It also features a late-night guide to the talent bookers of the Fallon, Letterman, Lopez shows, and more.
