Lite blogging, but over at my “delicious” link blog: I’ve been blog-challenged today, but if you had the RSS feed of my link blog, del.icio.us/rexblog, here are some of the magazine-related headlines you’d be receiving:

According to 2004 figures released Monday by the Publishers Information Bureau, the industry posted its highest ad gains in four years
NewBeauty, a national magazine devoted solely to cosmetic procedures, is the newest product to come out of Boca Raton, the city Self magazine recently dubbed the vainest place in the United States
itigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners announced last Friday that it had acquired Network Communications, a company near Atlanta that owns a group of real estate publications.
Before leaving Si’s court and moving to Spain, Condé Nast’s Editorial Director talks to Carl Swanson.




Young, pretty, rich, TV, movie starts divorcing add up to a Dick Stolley dream cover: People is rushing out (four-days-early) this week’s issue
for folks like my friend Lena Basha, our company’s in-house volunteer
Hollywood gossip maven (she’s been so on-top of this forever). In the
words of one of my magazine heroes, Richard Stolley, founding editor of
People (and many other accolades), “Young is better than old. Pretty is
better than ugly. Rich is better than poor. TV is better than music.
Music is better than movies. Movies are better than sports. Anything is
better than politics. (and, later added) Nothing is better than the
celebrity dead.” I’m guessing Dick, who’s still at Time, would add,
“Young, pretty, rich, TV, movie stars divorcing are better than
anything but a dead celebrity.”
