There there, celebrity magazine editors: While Lindsay Lohan's rehab would slow the flow of gossip considerable, you could recoup your losses several times over with a Jennifer Aniston-David Schwimmer baby cover.

At USC to receive a Walter Cronkite award, Katie Couric was downright grumpy about Twitter. Except for her Twitter, which kind of rules, supposedly.
