The editors are figuring out if the fee the photographer wants is worth the circulation bump. And who's the star, anyway? The cast members of this show don't like a management shakeup. Maybe they should take it to the press.

1. Big dilemma over at a major magazine. They are the first to receive multiple photos of a very famous actor in compromising positions with other men. So why aren't they racing every other magazine and tabloid to press? Several reasons. First of all, the pics weren't taken by a member of the magazine's staff, and the submitter wants to see more money before granting permission for publication. Second, the magazine has a reputation for taking the high road when it comes to salacious stories, and running one contrary to type would certainly fly in the face of tradition. It could also make other stars pause before granting interviews in the future. Finally, they know they would get sued. So now they are running the numbers. They need to figure out if the boost in sales and circulation—of what would likely be their best-selling issue in history—will offset the negatives. [Blind Gossip]

2. "The other cast members have finally gotten wind of the direction that the show's leadership may be going, and it's not pretty. They are threatening a full-scale revolt. Not only do they not want this replacement as their boss, they don't want her as part of the cast at all. So the rest of the cast is teaming up to force her out. Now that all the cards are on the table, it will be interesting to see if there are any obvious shifts in the cast dynamic that we, the viewers, will be able to detect. The crew may even be planning some split screens so that we can view every angle of every upcoming battle." [Blind Gossip]
