Janice Min's Banning of Paris Hilton Sounds a Little … Hypocritical
"Us Weekly doesn't deliberately blacklist retailers; we don't blacklist anyone from the magazine," Janice Min told ABC's Nightline last October, in a segment discussing L.A. boutique Kitson's allegations that Us Weekly had banned them from the tabloid. (We also appeared in the show.) "The magazine is really a representation of who is hot, who's buzz worthy, who are women interested in this week."
So what, then, could explain the current "Paris-free" issue? "We don't have one single mention in the entire issue," Janice tells Keith Kelly.
Sounds like a blacklist of someone who is hot, someone who is buzz worthy, and someone women are interested in this week.
