STAR COVER SHOWS OFF BRITNEY SPEARS’ NEW BIKINI BODY
PASETSKY’S COVER CRITIQUE
My first reaction to this cover is confusion!
I’m not sure that Star knew what to do with these “exclusive” photos of Britney.
Yes, she looks good but is it the right picture for a bikini body cover?
I (unfortunately) don’t think so.
I say unfortunately because in society we expect our stars to look super-slim. Here Britney doesn’t look that way.
The other piece that’s missing from this cover is a before pic - which would prove that Britney looks better and support Stars claim that Britney lost “20 lbs in 30 days.”
On a positive note, at least Star is using pictures from 2008 unlike
OK Magazine’s recent Britney diet cover.
In other news, Lindsay Lohan had a drunken rampage and guess what — she’s in the same spot “drunk” on
Star’s cover as she was a few weeks ago.
Keep up the good rehab work Lindsay, because Star has an inset ready and waiting for you!
Bottom Line: Candace Trunzo got excited by her “exclusive” Britney beach pics, but newsstand buyers won’t buy it.

Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Poor Barack Obama!
He loses in Pennsylvania and he wakes up to this cover.
His wife Michelle is “confronting him over cheating.”
If we learned anything in the primary last night, there are many questions now being raised about Barack Obama.
This won’t help his cause.
In other news, Demi Moore had a $500,000 total body makeover. Well, at least it look likes she got her money’s worth.
And two former rehab attendees are back to boozing reports the National Enquirer.
Both Drew Barrymore and Nicole Richie appear to be battling their demons again!
Bottom Line: Strong timing for dramatic Barack cover will translate into strong sales for David Perel’s National Enquirer.

GLOBE GOES GAY!

According to Tony Frost’s Globe, Hillary is involved in some gay love scandal that was already old news months ago.
I don’t buy it and I don’t think readers will buy it.
Middle-America won’t put this on their bedside reading table.
What’s sad for Globe is that the mag wasted some really good insets.
Tom Cruise Exposed/Can Kirstie Alley escape cult? is a great line and the story should have been the main cover.
Bottom Line: Not so good Mark Pasetsky’s Cover Awards » GLOBE GOES GAY!
RADAR’S GENIUS COVER!
PASETSKY’S COVER CRITIQUE
Just hitting newsstands, here’s Maer Roshan’s latest issue of Radar.
Hysterical!
It’s Maddox and Suri like we’ve never seen them before.
Maddox is holding a copy of Life & Style, which asks “Where’s Suri?”
Tom & Katie Cruise should thank Maddox for finding her!
Why can’t more celeb weeklies come up with concepts like this one?
