Former Village Voice managing editor Deborah Kolben and Columbia Journalism Review's Gal Beckerman are getting hitched! "A sunset walk on a beach in Mexico, a couple of beers, a sobbing Debbie," is how Beckerman described his proposal. Gag. "I never thought of myself as that girl," Kolben said, "But the second I had a ring on my finger, it was 'Take a picture! Take a picture!'" Heh. What has Kolben been up to since being axed by the Voice in September, after six months on the job? Well, a piece she wrote for the New York Times last weekend on a Flatbush Dunkin' Donuts run by a Jewish woman and a Muslim man ran under the headline "Worshipping Different Gods (But United On The Pork Issue.)" We love it when the Times makes awkward and erroneous jokes about religion! A correction was swiftly issued: "A headline last Sunday about a Muslim man and an Orthodox Jewish woman who are partners in two Dunkin' Donuts stores described their religions incorrectly. The two faiths worship the same God—not different ones." [Photo by David Reeves.]

"Spa-lom Aleichem!" Yes, that is a real headline in 'Jewish Living,' the new magazine that's set to ameliorate the "shortage of information specifically for Jewish women in the popular homemaking magazines." This magazine sort of rules! From the front of the book section "kvell" alone, we learned: That Sandra Bernhard attends shul every Saturday ("It really provides me with a framework to get through the week") and that someone named "Poopa Dweck" has written a book called 'The Aromas Of Aleppo.' Later, in the "On the Menu" section, we discovered tips for "making it healthy without losing the tasty." And there's a whole feature about Jews with tattoos—rabbis still consider the real kind "desecration of the body," fyi, but there is a page of temporary tattoos included free with the magazine. That's right, you are only $4.99 and a newsstand away from having a tramp stamp that says "Shayna Maidel" ("pretty girl"). But that's not even the magazine's highlight!
