Wow--Entertainment Weekly? I got that magazine for a decade, though about the time I turned 34 or so I suddenly just didn't think it applied to me anymore (i.e., they had a Olsen Twin cover or some shtuff and I just said, "No more, thanks"). But I have 10 years of good memories.
I would be so depressed if Entertainment Weekly went away. I look forward to it coming in the mail, I always look forward to reading it, on paper. I'm currently working overseas and I love that I'm more up on what is going on back home in popular culture than other Americans here and most of that comes from EW.
Just like books, I think the Kindle thing sounds amazing but I don't want to look at a screen to read a magazine or a book.
PS. Love your blog! Love the insights on the Seattle area, makes me miss home so much -- Renton. I also have a few Career Romances for Young Moderns and continue to pick them up when I see them. Have you seen "Foreign Service Girl"? That's me!
Yeah, I'm kinda surprised to hear about EW being an endangered mag, I thought it was still pretty popular.
They are treading thin ice with all these teeny bopper type articles, though - the new issue contains features on the Twilight movie, One Tree Hill and David Cook. Cmon EW, throw this 40 year old a bone here!
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

Yeah, Entertainment Weekly. I stopped my subscription to that sucker when they changed their layout so that it looked like one gigantic ad!
