The publishers of the recently revamped Star Magazine, American Media, have sent a cease and desist letter to the editor of Us Weekly, Janice Min. Apparently the people at Star believe that they own the word "Star" and are demanding that Us Weekly stop using the word "star" for column names. As of now Us Weekly has several columns with "star" in the title, including "Star Beauty" and "Star Style".

In related news, Donald Trump stormed New York Magazine's headquarters on Monday after hearing that Adam Moss told Jeremy Gerad "You're Fired!" Mr. Trump quickly ordered Mr. Moss to cease and desist from using the phrase. Mr. Moss responded by quickly firing the receptionist who let The Donald into the building.
