Media-Whore'Doevres

Earlier in the week Fox 411 reporter Roger Friedman called for a boycott of Rolling Stone magazine. In actuality, RS has been stumbling in the dark, clueless, without a whiff of street cred after they tactlessly sponsored their corporate ''Family Day (Averted Gaze)'' in Washington Square Park in 1998, effectively kicking out the annual pro-marijuana rally. Anyhoo: Friedman argues that since the death of the sainted Ahmet Ertegun, Jann has been acting like the temperamental and selfish Baby Boomer that he is. Handling rock stars and bratty boomers were, to be sure, Ertegun's specialty. (Ron Mwangaguhunga in FishbowlNY)
