Was Bonnie Fuller's exit from American Media a departure planned well ahead of its announcement, or did it come about as suddenly as her deciding her time was up? Never mind that she shot down Keith Kelly's initial questions about her leaving weeks before the announcement came, but perhaps the dust jacket for real estate impresario Barbara Corcoran's book, Nextville, released in April, tells all.

Since the jacket had to be mocked up well before the book went to press, it's curious that Bonnie Fuller, who was running AMI and Star up until last week, is identified only by her own authordom: the scribe behind The Joys of Much Too Much, and not any of her highfalutin titles.

Then again, David Caplan is identified as merely an "entertainment journalist," even though at any point in the last 12 months, he could've been blurbed as either Star's New York bureau chief, VH1 blogger, and, now, a People titan. So maybe they just went the safer route.

Just who is Barbara Corcoran's "friend" who tattled to Page Six about how she cuts through real estate ad hype? "According to a friend of the legendary residential super-broker," says P6, "'cozy' equals too small. 'Charming' means too old and 'original condition' implies appliances that are 50 years old."

Perhaps that "friend" was … the Today show from two weeks ago?

I GOT married on Valentine's Day so my husband would remember our anniversary. Now I have to remind him when Valentine's Day is.

• EchoStar is hoping your town will want to be the next Half.com, Oregon, renaming itself to DISH in exchange for 10 years of free satellite TV service for all residents. Execs must be reading Mark Hughes' Buzzmarketing.
