The nerve of them! First People magazine steals an idea from a lowly New Orleans author. Or so he alleges. And now Star magazine steals an idea from lowly me. Or so I allege.

Thanks to Jim Romenesko on Poynter.com, I learned that Abram Shalom Himelstein sent People a review copy of his book, "What the Hell Am I Doing Here? The 100 T-Shirt Project," based on his idea of having people get things off their chests by writing their feelings on blank T-shirts. The next thing he knew the magazine ran a spread called "Tee Speech" that said: "We asked celebs to tell us what their shirts would say if they let their tees do the talking."

Now Paul Colford reports in the New York Daily News that The Star has substituted the words "All the Juice, All the Time" on its nameplate for "The #1 Celebrity News Magazine." Well, gee whiz! As the former creator of The Juice on MSNBC.com, I protest. Can you feel my anguish? Did I write what was MSNBC's most popular daily Weblog/column — now defunct, it drew an average of 750,000 page views per month — just to be ripped off by tab-queen Bonnie Fuller? Anyone have a spare T-shirt?
