...wasn't bad enough losing to a guy who belongs in a Celebrex ad, American Idol's KATHARINE MCPHEE has fallen victim to the curse of the Idol runner-up--a bum foot. The show's 2004 No. 2 Diana DeGarmo slipped down a flight of stage stairs, tearing a ligament. Last year Bo Bice broke his foot during some rigorous onstage bouncing.

Europe's markets might be more modest, but the gap is closing. Ad revenues at Diva, Britain's top-selling lesbian magazine, have ballooned 73% in the last five years, a period which saw overall British magazine advertising spend dip. About half of all branded advertising in gay media in the U.S. is tailored for that market, and that, says Ian Johnson, managing...
