Celebrity Buzz “From dolls to dinosaurs!” Ugh. At this rate, they might as well get rid of every cover line and just put a big “OMG IT'S A BOY!” stamp across her forehead. (via Dlisted)
Politics Buzz The trololol is strong in this one. In what I can only assume is a deliberate attempt to anger the entire GOP, Newsweek's just-released cover for its upcoming issue teases an Andrew Sullivan piece by asking why President Obama's critics are “so dumb.” Will Republicans take the bait? Only (a very short amount of) time will tell! Also: Yes. (via SoupSoup)
Culture Buzz Victoria Beckham for Polaroid! Jesse Eisenberg for Oxy! Fergie for Bongo Jeans! Pink for Jelly Roll gel pens! Looking back, it seems like any ol' celebrity would slap their name onto a now-dated product with little remorse for how it would translate years later.

Who knew Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s baby was TV Guide‘s first cover model? Journey with us through media and design history of 21 magazines.
The October 2011 issue of Playboy will sell for the same cost as the magazine during the 1960s…60 cents. Why? To pay tribute to the when the original Playboy Club was first opened and to promote the upcoming show, “The Playboy Club”. (via dailymail.co.uk)
Celebrity Buzz I've never heard of Wooooo but they've got a pink James Franco with green hands on the cover of their latest issue and feature a drawing of a ghost with a penis on their website, so yeah, I guess I'm a fan now. (via nymag.com)
She's like, so cool she wears a padlock on her Doc Martens!!! (via neonandcigarettes.tumblr.com)
This is a disturbing sign that the Great Recession is way worse than anyone imagined. (via https:)
Culture Buzz Entitled Cadeaux, this article in the Dec-Jan issue of Vogue Paris is a perfect example of how you DON'T want to showcase kids in a fashion magazine. If you must do a kids x couture shoot, this is how you do it. (Via TrendLand who seem to think it's “adorable.”)
Culture Buzz Imagined periodicals from our bleak future. Another phun Photoshop exercise from Something Awful, of which there are plenty more.
Culture Buzz John Westwood has been slipping these petitions to perform oral sex on women into magazines throughout New York City. He's been doing it for about a year and has actually received 116 responses. Act fast, ladies, he's pretty booked up!

As magazines wither from existence, they've been trying a bunch of crazy shit to stay relevant. One crazy idea they'll probably never try is actually telling the truth, so we figured we'd ask you to show us what that might look like.

The pieces of paper that fall out of magazines into your lap. “This magazine is full of lap flaps!”
Culture Buzz Man's Life was a pulp adventure magazine for men (obviously) published in the 1950s. Based on the covers, I'd say that they ran a lot of stories about half-naked studs fending off animal attacks in rivers.
Probably not to publicize their new movie Whip It!, Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page locked lips for Marie Claire. In their defense, Marie Claire is a dirty magazine for the lez set, right?
The June 1st New Yorker cover was finger-painted by artist Jorge Colombo using the Brushes app on his iPhone. Overall it took him just an hour to draw the scene outside Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Times Square, and for the process nuts, there's a corresponding video that shows every streak - from start to finish.
1980 was a confusing time for Apple, as you'll see in this classic magazine ad. Don't bite the forbidden fruit, Adam! Somewhere off set, Eve lies tangled in a sexy web of Steve Jobs' dreams.
After receiving some breaking “information,” very funny twitter-man…
“Don't say another word!” On tonight's installment of the…
