******* SECOND OPINION: In Touch is about to find out how serious a breathless celebrity tabloid can really get. The weekly from Bauer Publishing is forgoing its usual cover mix of Britney, Lindsay and Brangelina to focus on the tragedy at Virginia Tech, where 32 people were murdered. For this week's issue, which hits newsstands today, the magazine bumped the celebrity headlines that normally make up its main cover image for the Virginia Tech shooting, leaving stories on Hollywood hookups relegated to smaller images on the side. The title — and, for that matter, celebrity weeklies Star, Us Weekly and Life & Style — rarely puts real-people stories on its cover or even inside, but such stories play to People's roots of mixing real-life stories with celebrity events and giving cover space to national tragedies, from the Amish shootings last summer to the killing of Jon Benet Ramsey. People, which appears on newsstands Friday, is likely to put the Virginia shooting on its cover with an extensive feature package inside, as are the newsweeklies Time and Newsweek. (People declined to comment.) In Touch editor in chief Richard Spencer was convinced the Virginia story was worth covering in a major way after watching his staff's obsession with the news. "When you see everybody stopping in the office, in horror, you say, ‘Oh, I want to read this,'" said Spencer. "When so many people have died, [it is] hard to be so fixated on how crazy Britney [Spears] is acting." MORE ONLINE

Given Us Weekly's relationship with Jill Ishkanian, one might be surprised to find that the Wenner tabloid is still courting her business. Jill, of course, left Us Weekly to start her own paparazzi agency, Sunset Photo and News. Then Us went and claimed Jill hacked into their computers and stole sensitive information. Information that would, say, help her know where celebrities would be in order to snag some decent shots. And then there was the whole bit where the FBI raided Jill's office and duplicated her hard drive as evidence. Why, then, is Us reaching out to Sunset for business? Good question. MORE ONLINE
