News about the tabloids: Sarah Palin's $100,000 cover doesn't sell

Publication: In Touch
Date: 25 Jan. 2010

Instead of a story from the cover of a tabloid, this is a story about a cover of a tabloid. Last week it was reported that the Palins were paid $100,000 to be on the cover of In Touch magazine. This week, there is a story on ParentDish.com that it didn't sell well. A few weeks earlier, a cover featuring the late Brittany Murphy sold twice as many mags at the checkout stands.

People who don't like Sarah might think this is a failure for her, especially having to share the cover with crazy Angelina, crazy Charlie (Sheen, not Manson) and some way too skinny third rate celebrity wannabe. To her mind, it's only a failure if the check bounces.
