I like the part where the Donny article takes a surreal turn and asks you to imagine "What if you woke up one morning and nobody had ever heard of Donny but you?" Eh, give it fifty years. Next up: TV gossip:
Favorite part: "LeVar Burton recently filmed a Trailways bus commercial." Also, talk about a no-brainer for Tiger Beat: "There's talk that Olivia Newton John will join John Travolta in his new movie Grease... we think this would be a great movie team, don't you?"

The best part is John Travolta on Lily Tomlin: "She's the most important lady of this century! If things go as planned, I will be co-starring with her in the last of my three-picture deal with Robert Stigwood. I'm really looking forward to it."

Yet more Robby, and hardcore Farrah:
Remember the Keane Brothers? No? Yeah, me neither:
Letters to the editor. My favorite one features an admonishment for lax Henry Winkler coverage:
Tiger Beat discovers Mark Hamill:
Wacky times with Starsky and Hutch:

Oh, you have made an otherwise intolerable evening into a treat. Oh, my hot water heater may be dead, I may have paid the plumber overtime to bring the wrong one at 9:30 on a Friday night, but goddam, I got me some TigerBeat to soothe me.

2) I vaguely remember Robbie Benson. I feel like I should remember more of him.
3) In hindsight, "...what else could it be but a hit?" is not the best way to end an article about pre-facial-reconstruction-surgery Mark Hamill.
4) Donny Osmond without a shirt??
