******* 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..
******* A gorgeous blonde, without a stitch of clothing visible, is shaving her face and staring out from the cover of the May issue of Esquire with bedroom eyes. Behind her, in large type, are these words: "We Shot This Image To Catch Your Eye So You Will Pick Up This Issue And Immerse Yourself in the Most Gripping Story You Will Read This Year. It's on pg. 102." When the teaser is that blatant, a reader with healthy curiosity and an equally healthy skepticism about magazine hype turns to Page 102, muttering, This better be good. MORE ONLINE

Poor Miley Cyrus. What was she thinking, posing topless for Vanity Fair? We asked Rob Haggart, who writes the spot-on A Photo Editor blog (and also worked as director of photography for Men's Journal and Outside, for his thoughts. When big name photographers (read: Annie Leibowitz) shoot pictures for big name magazines (read: Vanity Fair), "the subjects let [the photographers] do whatever they want... and it's a mistake," he said. "Nobody say no [to the photographers] and they aren't making good pictures." He continued: "[Cyrus'] going into the shoot thinking, 'I have to do what [Leibowitz] says or else I'm not going to be in Vanity Fair." MORE ONLINE
3. FOLIO
Leading up to the National Magazine Awards—the consumer magazine world's answer to the Oscars—FOLIO: is running an interview series with some the lesser-known nominees to get their thoughts on the Ellies race, the state of the industry and whether or not the awards have become too New York-centric. First up: Paste. FOLIO:: This is the first year you've been nominated. What do you think of your chances? Jackson: They'd be better if we weren't up against Radar. Obviously, we're just thrilled to be nominated. MORE ONLINE
4. WWD
HITTING BACK: As practiced outrage spread through America on Monday over Miley Cyrus' back-baring photos for Vanity Fair ("Miley's Shame" boomed the front of The New York Post), no one was more confounded than the magazine's fashion and style director, Michael Roberts, who styled the shoot by Annie Leibovitz. "I'm European. I come from London, I lived in Paris, and I just find it extraordinary that this has been blown up like this," he told WWD. WE'LL TAKE IT!: How did "The Hills" stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag snag seats at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington with Fortune? Because Fortune's original guest, Blackstone Group's Stephen Schwartzman, opted out at the last minute, managing editor Andy Serwer offered up the empty seats to the couple. TV WARS: Elle editor in chief Robbie Myers and Joe Zee will appear on "Ugly Betty," just like their former fashion director Nina Garcia. Myers and Zee will appear on the season finale of the show, which depicts a charity softball game between Elle and Mode magazine. Elle, however, will have a designated hitter in Naomi Campbell, who will also be guest starring on the show. No word on what position any of the guest stars are playing, but both will be up to bat on the episode. Mode will be on the field with Wilhemina Slater, played by Vanessa Williams, pitching. Zee and Myers will film the segment on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Garcia filmed an episode with "Project Runway" season four winner Christian Siriano earlier this month that will air on Thursday.
