Seriously, Newsweek ? We know sales have been abysmal and you were on the verge of going under a few months ago, but this seems like an extreme way to generate headlines.

Remarriage? At least two, I suspect, on both sides of the Atlantic.” Hypothesizing about what this icon would be doing if tragedy hadn’t struck in 1997?
