******* Psst! If there's a random wacky ad at the top of this newsletter, know that it's not Ed's. It's just what you have to put up with for a free newsletter service..
******* The nether regions of the magazine world are truly a strange place. An upcoming book called Bad Mags is a collection of some of the most "strange, bizarre, and peripheral" magazines of the last 50 years—obscure fetish porn, occult titles, true crime, punks, horror, aliens, serial killers. Awesome. We've combed through hundreds of titles to bring you the ten weirdest, dirtiest, and/ or most intriguing magazine covers there are. They're all below—some are NSFW, but all are worthwhile.

AUDIT reports for the celebrity weekly magazines are in for the calendar year 2006, and the analysis proves that when auditors come knocking, they always find something. In this case, it was the number of times the magazines missed their rate bases, the amount of circulation a magazine promises advertisers it will deliver each issue. n Touch and Life & Style missed the mark 11 times, while Star missed 24 times. All three have since lowered their rate bases. MORE ONLINE

4. Some pundits like to needle Wired Editor Chris Anderson about his image. "His reputation is that he always has to be the smartest person in the room," said Valleywag Managing Editor Owen Thomas. "And he usually is." I can understand why. One afternoon in March, I interviewed Anderson, 46, for more than an hour in his homey, cramped San Francisco office, talking about what makes Wired so interesting. ired sees technology as encompassing every subject, which enables the monthly magazine to come up with original ideas in every issue. Even when it covers widely discussed topics, like autism for example, Wired manages to find something fresh to say. MORE ONLINE

Star New York Ranger and man-about-town Sean Avery is out to build up his r?sum? this summer — by interning at Vogue, as reported by Page Six the Magazine and The New Yorker. But what does the person dubbed "the most hated man in hockey" for his style of play know about fashion? Well, quite a lot — Avery is a self-confessed clotheshorse who has been known to give girlfriends advice on how to dress, and in interviews has expressed a dream to become a fashion editor after his days on the ice (he'll likely be a big help clearing through the crush of shows). "He says that he prizes his black patent leather Yves Saint Laurent high-tops, 'a lovely cashmere throw from a friend who works at Calvin Klein' and his Philippe Starck machine-gun-shaped lamp," reports The New Yorker's Nick Paumgarten in this week's issue. So how did Avery get the Vogue gig? He wrote a letter to Anna Wintour expressing his desire to work there (presumably his day job helped the missive get some attention). Avery will report to 4 Times Square this summer, though his first day hasn't been confirmed (a Vogue spokesman said it depends on how well the Rangers do in the playoffs). And what, exactly, will he be doing? The spokesman said Avery likely will work with a variety of editors, including European editor at large Hamish Bowles. There's also talk of him working at Men's Vogue. And the spokesman claimed that, like most interns, the 28-year-old Avery will be expected to do traditional assistantlike tasks — making copies and messengering couture gowns, for instance. Interns clamoring for a staff position would eagerly do such tasks to secure a $30,000-a-year, low-level editorial position. Avery clearly won't have the same motivation — his contract with the Rangers earned him nearly $2 million this season. ANOTHER NEW FACE: In Style has named Nicole Vecchiarelli as senior editor, reporting to editor at large Ariel Foxman. She replaces Robin Sayers. At In Style, Vecchiarelli will be responsible for cover stories, features and special packages. She joins the Time Inc. title from Details, where she was entertainment director since January 2007. Before that, she was the entertainment features director at Teen Vogue. BACK IN: Maybe it was the pregnant glow that did it, but after four years off the list, People en Espa?ol not only put Christina Aguilera back in its annual "50 Mas Bellos" issue, she is also one of its cover girls. Three months after having her son, Max, the Grammy winner was shot for the cover in Los Angeles, wearing a pink Marchesa gown. Salma Hayek, Tony Romo, Javier Bardem and Thalia are among the celebrities featured inside. MORE ONLINE
