>> After all the is-it-or-is-it-not-racist hoopla the April 2008 issue of Vogue, featuring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen, caused, news that the issue only sold 350,000 copies on the newsstand does not bode well.  Patricularly because that number makes the issue Vogue's worst-selling April issue since 2001. 

To make matters worse, the May 2008 issue, featuring a frigid Gwyneth Paltrow, sold even less: 310,000 copies (Vogue's 2007 average for the first half of the year was 452,207 issues sold).  Maybe (for Anna's sake) Keira Knightley's cover, shot by Mario Testino for the September 2008 issue, will fare better?
