"At the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention last week, there was a discussion dedicated to the blackness of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Sen.

"I’ve heard her say she doesn’t come out East often, but Mandy Moore has been hanging out in the Hamptons so much I could literally predict her daily routine! Here she is hosting Polo - one of the several 'scene-y' events that the low-key Mandy supposedly can’t stand! She gets her coffee, where else, at The Golden Pear. Then shops at Intermix (where my friend saw her buying a Tshirt or two). She raided Super Saturday, sweetly asking salespeople if they had her size, a healthy 6." (BlogHamptons)

OK! appears to have grown subtly snarkier, affirmative title notwithstanding. Since the Britney photo shoot meltdown, the celebrity-friendly magazine seems to be moving along the gravitational axis of US Weekly, In Touch and Life & Style.
