Ever find yourself feeling a little depressed after leafing through the latest issue of Vogue? You're not the only one.

When you boarded a plane in the old days, you might have worried about a terrorist storming the cockpit, a mid-air mechnical problem of some sort, or even a drunk pilot passing out behind the controls. Yea, well, there's officially a new danger in the sky: Your pilot could be too busy surfing porn on the web or watching videos on YouTube to realize he's missed your destination.

Ever since McKinsey & Company finished up its three-month review at Condé Nast a few weeks ago, the publishing giant has been busy cutting costs, closing down four magazines and laying off staff at most of its remaining titles. But perhaps instead of hiring the pricey consulting firm, Condé should have traveled to the front lines to talk to one of the guys who sells magazines for a living? To gain some insight into the future of printed media and find out what sells (and what doesn't), we headed over to a newsstand on Third Avenue to chat with a kind gentleman named Naseer. You'll find his thoughts on the layoffs and career advice for unemployed journalists below.

Back in September it was reported that only one photo would be released following Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's wedding (just like JFK Jr. and Caroline Bessette!), since they had no intention of making any money on the sale of photos and wanted to keep the event private. It looks like they changed their minds (or decided John and Caroline weren't the best role models): Getty Images has at least five photos of the wedding for sale that it's distributing to media outlets for free, as long as they agree to write a positive story." You can view the pics for yourself here. [Popsugar]
