Magazine Readers Keen To Not Starve [Recessionomics]

Everyone else is cutting circulation, but Food Network Magazine expects to ride the whole "I can't afford restaurants but would like to still eat" meme to 1.1 million copies, triple the current level.

We've never actually read the magazine, but judging from the covers it appears Bobby Flay, who insists on grilling absolutely every sort of food, like a real man, plays a prominent role. Sigh.

Still, we understand the impulse to take the publication. In its on upscale way, Food Network is capitalizing on the same fear of privation as those booming homeless newspapers. As a Hearst VP told Ad Age,

"Dining in is the recession's dining out."

And "not starving" will be the depression's "dining in," but there's no need to spook the advertisers just yet.

NB to anyone taking this magazine: The network's best content is already transcribed here, for free.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
