One thing that caused
the AOL PEOPLE WARNER merger was
its flagship's
Men-as-Sex-Objects shtick. While it makes us appreciate why certain hard-core feminists get jealous it also makes us frown because it brought on
THE NEW ROBERT TAYLOR and other supposed hunks; it also made ROSIE'S NEPHEW unavoidable. At the same time it so helped minimize the notion of female sex symbols as to account in no small part for
the constant whining and gnashing of teeth over "bankable" actresses. It's a small mind that has a big love for
PEOPLE (I'm thinking, oh,
Mr. Bew-KES's); it's an even smaller mind that uses it to cast some of the flat-out mugs who now grace Hollywood.
