THE COST OF CELEBRITY CULTURE "Jann Wenner is said to be quietly exploring a sale of celebrity magazine Us Weekly to Condé Nast and the price tag could hit $750 million."

Here's the great thing about Lindsay Lohan: Girlfriend is crazy. Like, seriously off. In a recent interview with Style magazine, LiLo talks about fame and then misguidedly insists that her mother and father are some of her best friends: "I have a great Mom and Dad. We're a very close family." Really, Linds? Because we haven't seen evidence of that — ever — and you're aware of how obsessive the media are when it comes to your life. She then goes on to do that thing where she proclaims she's the best person in the world and the press is just so hard on her:

Thank you so much for being nice. You know, people may think I’m this and that, but I’m not a bad person. I’m really not.

Whatever you say, Linds.

The New York Times Magazine can't be serious. There's no way. Why on earth would the mag put Tyra Banks on the same cover as the words "Oprah" and "Martha"? Unless the staff is referring to the ladies' obvious similarities. Remember that time Martha went undercover as a homeless woman for a few hours to discover the injustices of America?

Just when we thought magazines and their creative staffs were getting better, this new Jessica Alba shoot from Latina came through to prove to us that creativity is, indeed, in its death throes.

If you'll remember, only two weeks ago we were heralding Vanity Fair's photo spread in which they recreated famous scenes from Alfred Hitchcock films. Now, guess what Latina does with Ms Alba? Famous horror movie recreations, two of which are based on Hitchcock films and all of which are cheesy and bad.

Stick to the Internet, people.

Coco [last name taken from her], Ice T's top earner, has released the latest edition of her eponymous magazine. Above a picture of her splayed on a rock, it says, "My image is very important to me. Back in the day I had this image of being a dumb blond…but now people know and understand me more…they are starting to respect me more." One page of the magazine is just a picture of Coco's ass.

Many NSFW pics after the jump.
