While Nat Ives gets busy with a mini-profile of Star editor-in-chief Joe Dolce – who may or may not be having his contract renewed – we can't avert our eyes from the last graph:

Richard Valvo, a spokesman for American Media, said company policy prohibited discussing any negotiations but also defended the company's marquee title. "The whole celebrity category is down 10% in the fourth quarter," he said. "The last three issues, we've gone up tremendously. Bonnie broke the Justin-Cameron Diaz story, and that issue went through the roof."

Well yes, Bonnie "broke the Justin-Cameron Diaz story" — if by "broke the Justin-Cameron Diaz story" you mean she let National Enquirer editor David Perel break the story, hand it off to Star, and then let his New York-based boss take the credit for it.

If Joe Dolce is really walking out Star's door, we've got a hankering Perel might be setting up shop in an office adjacent to Fuller sometime soon. Not that we're planting fact-based speculation or anything.
