The reaction of the two news anchors in the studio is…priceless.

You MUST watch above!

Since the announcement of the closing of Vibe magazine on Tuesday, which he dounded, Quincy Jones has been vying to save the hip-hop and R&B publication he started in 1993.

"I'm trying to buy my magazine back now. They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back," said Jones of Wicks Media Group, who purchased ownership rights in 2006.

Quincy plans to take the mag online, because it is more profitable than print.

"We gotta get into the 21st century you know," said the music mogul. "Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. They're over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century."

You tell 'em!!!!!

Peter David's X-Factor, 45 - a best-selling X-Men related title - goes where no D.C. or Marvel Comic has gone before: the issue features mainstream comics' first same-sex kiss between Rictor and Shatterstar.

Though their relationship has been hinted at throughout the series, the panel confirms their deeper feelings, and David is quick to reassure that "no, it’s not a fake out. A number of people seem to be concerned that Star is still under Cortex’s control. Or that Rictor is going to freak out the next panel and say, 'Dude, what the hell?' That would be cheap. I don’t do cheap. Okay, sometimes I do, but not this time. I’m not interested in having people say, 'Peter David introduced this and then chickened out.'"

Good for him!

Another victim of the shiteous magazine industry and that freakin' recession!

Vibe magazine is closing.

On behalf the VIBE CONTENT staff (the best in this business), it is with great sadness, and with heads held high, that we leave the building today. We were assigning and editing a Michael Jackson tribute issue when we got the news. It’s a tragic week in overall, but as the doors of VIBE Media Group close, on the eve of the magazine’s sixteenth anniversary, it’s a sad day for music, for hip hop in particular, and for the millions of readers and users who have loved and who continue to love the VIBE brand. We thank you, we have served you with joy, pride and excellence, and we will miss you.

Danyel Smith
the former Chief Content Officer VIBE Media Group
& Editor in Chief, VIBE

Sad face.

Is the Gosselin family's 15 minutes about to run out?

Not likely! But….

Kate Gosselin's upcoming Love is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories is being postponed from its original November release date.

The book features recipes, organic eating tips, and "meaningful mealtime blessings," but its promise of "an inside look at one of America's most close-knit families" just doesn't have the same appeal now that the family is going through a very public divorce.

Kate's previous two books with publishers Zondervan - Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets and Eight Little Faces - were both bestsellers.

No date for the new release yet.

We love it when companies try to push the envelope! We've never been one for subtlety!

And even though other fast food joints like Carl's Jr.s have had some racy ads in the past, like Paris Hilton washing a car while wearing a bikini and eating a burger, we can't help but be amused by Burger King's latest print ad.

The home of the Whopper is now introducing it's BK Super Seven Incher!

Sounds yum!

And when you're talking about something that's seven inches long, people's minds can wander off. Especially when you mix in the word "Blow."

But according to BK, their new burger is just that, mind-blowing!

Their ad reads:

"Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled with the NEW BK SUPER SEVEN INCHER. Yearn for more after you taste the mind-blowing burger that comes with a single beef patty, topped with American cheese, crispy onions and the A1 Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce."

Although we kind of like the ad, even with the blow-up-doll looking model, we have no doubt that certain groups will start to protest shortly.

We're guessing they're going to want BK to pull the ads. Hopefully the Whopper Kings don't give in. Because, you know, some people can't take a joke!

People say they are sick of the Gosselin family drama, but we think they're liars!!!

The In Touch Weekly cover featuring Kate Gosselin spanking one of the oldest of her brood outsold People's Bachelor issue!!!!!

Unheard of!

In Touch Editor-in-Chief Richard Spencer spent $75,000 for photos of disciplinarian Kate in action!

The Gosselin clad magazine sold 1.2 million copies, while usual leader People sold less than 1.1 million.

Money well spent!

America loves a good scandal!!!

Oops!

Looks like Americans aren't so keen on model Gisele Bundchen.

The Brazilian beauty graced the covers of both Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar recently - to some of the mags' worst sales!

Vanity Fair "sold only 280,000 single sale copies, the lowest total for the magazine in nearly two years," while Harper's Bazaar "sold only 132,000 copies, its lowest total of the year and its lowest since November 2008."

We may not care about her, but she's rich! So she probably doesn't care that we don't care!

We just received new dirt on the Miss Ignorant California firing!!!

Carrie Prejean claims pageant honcho Keith Lewis tried to pimp her out to I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! and Playboy.

Supposedly, Playboy offered $140,000 for her to pose semi-nude but she turned down both offers.

We all know she's holier than thou!!!

Lewis claims he was just passing the offer along because of Prejean's request to run offers by her before turning them down.

The pageant queen even commented on the supposed reason behind her firing, stating, "What's behind this I think is a political debate. They don't agree with the stance that I took [on Prop 8]. Shanna [Moakler] is trying to bash me. They don't like me. From day one they wanted me out and they got what they wanted."

Well, we did but that's beside the point!

She continued to say, "I've shown respect for every party involved, even when they haven't shown it back. I was very respectful of people even when they slandered me and humiliated me. I have not once stooped down to their level."

We understand that everyone has an incorrect opinion but this is about having the nerve to back it up!!!

Honor your commitments!
