You know, as well as The Huffington Post did during this election cycle (4.5 million unique pageviews in September! $25 million partnership!), and remains your best shot at writing for a legitimate publication right now, Arianna is still stingy with her cash flow. Meaning that unless you are Jason Linkins or Danny Shea, you're probably not going to see a dime from your opinion piece, sorry. Money is for the news makers folks, not the news reporters.

But there is one place you could try your hand if you still believe putting ink to pen (or hands to keyboard) is an honest day's work: Tina Brown's The Daily Beast pays out an average of $200 to $250 per post, or maybe it's 50 cents per word?

But don't expect to be provided a safe-guard "contract" under Brown's umbrella. You're no Tucker Carlson or Christopher Buckley, remember (unless you are).

Still interested? Recently laid off from Radar, Sun, or People? Then consider this your informal invitation to submit.

“They want celeb-focus and featurey stuff that’s light and fun to read,” said one recently laid-off staffer who contributes. “They’re less interested in the scoop and more interested in the fun, light read. They like stuff with celebrities attached with little lists: five of this, five of that.”

Sensibility, darling!

Listicles, blegh. And celebrity listicles at that. Wonder if Tina is on some kick the rest of us don't know about… wasn't lazy celebrity gossip on its way out?
