Goodbye to the Fix, for now

In a world gone mad with celebrity gossip, it's time to focus on what we can do best.

    Most of what I want to say has already been said--

    What have we had now, two feature articles about Alec Baldwin? Good thing we're leaving all that celebrity gossip behind.

    I'll miss the Fix. I didn't read it regularly, but what I really enjoyed about it (and what I loved even more about Nothing Personal) was the way it felt like a sane, steady hand was delivering entertainment news. "In a world gone mad with celebrity gossip," as the tagline to this article says, what we need is someone just a little outside the fray-- to watch the wheels go 'round and 'round and keep us entertained.

    I'm disappointed that Salon's content is now going to be even less cultural, but I'm afraid I'm not surprised.
