Questions answered

Purchased a copy of this week's People Magazine. After paging through it, I can revisit the questions I posed yesterday.


Will the People piece be a cobbled together piece of nothing, much like their 'All About the Twins' story? Absolutely!!

How many pages will be dedicated to the patchwork story? The 'story' spanned 4 pages How many of the pages will be plastered with photos? All 4 pages

How many 'writers' will be listed as 'contributors' to this story? 6 Because in the 'All About the Twins' story, there were five people listed for 5 pages of story - each page had pap photos covering at least 50% of the page space. The first page has a pic of Brad and Angelina at Cannes; Brad's back spill over into 20% of the second page which consists of 2 1/2 paragraphs of story, broken into two columns. On page 3, there is one column containing the remaining 2 1/2 paragraphs of story. The column took up about 40% of the horizontal space and about 70% of the vertical. The fourth and final page consists of pap pics and text boxes pertaining to 5 specific rumors. On the bottom of pages 3 and 4, a series of pap pics and text boxes detailing a timeline.

And finally... when People 'comes out' as a tabloid, will it rock a cool-looking green snake on its upper thigh? They won't because it would mark the end of the access to the celebs, although their access seems pretty tenuous, given that they need several people to write five paragraphs of story.
