Firings (including some voluntary buyouts) are also expected at People magazine and other sister publications as Time Inc. continues to struggle.

      I guess everyone else addressed the vocabulary issue. Don't worry we're all getting 'Bama Bucks January 24th right?

      And Perez's site is more popular than ever.
      People are tired of publications that kiss the celebs ass.

      Laid off involuntarily? Geez, where the hell did you go to school Big P?

      It's funny Perez, you say you are sympathetic but you are one of the major instigators of the problem. Most people come online to a site like yours for their daily entertainment gossip info, myself included. I hardly buy the magazines now, it's obviously the same with others. It just feels insincere to read this type of statement in your blog. I don't believe you give a toss!

      OMFG I hope not MICHAEL SLEZAK!!



    11. 11

      Haha, does anyone voluntarily get laid off?

      EW should probably pull of their resources and convert everything to the web. The magazine is a great source for info but it won't win out over other celebrity magz. If it goes 100% online, may do better IMO



    13. 13

      I hope EW dies and burns in hell



    14. 14

      Who the fuck is voluntarily laid off?
