Rolling Stone is desperate to stay afloat. This is not news. They reduced the size of their magazines to cut production costs, featured Barack Obama (America's #1 celebrity!) on its cover, and generally tried to appease the again hippies that still subscribe while attracting lame Britney Spears fans that dominate the culture.
This month, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, and the rest of the Gossip Gals are featured on the cover and are interviewed in the most tiresome fashion ("get the dirt on what it’s like starring as beautiful young people in New York while being beautiful young people in New York.")
The photo shoot, though, is at least the usual skanky jamboree...
Here are our favorite excerpts from the excerpts of the forthcoming article:
“No one’s going to accuse Gossip Girl of being The Wire or Mad Men, but if you roll with the fantasy/absurdity, it’s fun to watch, from the infighting to the insane clothes and snappy dialogue.”
“They’ve all reached the point where they’re in the public eye, but
they’re not rolling around in blacked-out SUVs or being chased around
like Madonna. A lot of them take the subway and they still complain
about the price of rents and monthly car parking,” Gay reveals.
“They’re in a nice place in their careers. They’re now recognizable
enough to get interest for other things, but not so recognizable that
daily life is a drag.”
Bummer, dudes. Check out the rest here.
