The Swtich

It's a switch of letters in The Switch in "In Theatres" in Famous in August 2010. That was a lot of ins.

(Fans even conducted an online petition begging Marvel to give Howard his role back).

-- "Toe to toe with Terrence Howard" in Famous, April 2009

The sentence is contained entirely within parentheses, so the period should be immediately after back.

Jamie King

-- "Soul Mates" in Famous, November 2008

Noam Murrow

The audition process doesn’t always involve a big dark room with a director and casting agent. After seeing Ellen Page in the indie film Hard Candy, Smart People director Noam Murro liked her for the role of overachieving Vanessa.

Murrow quickly realized she was the one, but it had nothing to do with their conversation or the way she ate her Whopper. As he recalls, “I saw her small figure and frame walking towards me and I just knew in that instant that she was the genius I was looking for.”

writer's strike // Writer's Guild of America

With the writer's strike stretching on, the fate of the 80th annual Academy Awards has become as shaky as the plot of a Jerry Bruckheimer film.The program’s producer, Gil Cates, insists the show will go on — but when asked how that’ll happen should the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) not have a new contract by February 24th, he’s cagey. Giving it away, he says, would put their plan in jeopardy.
-- Our Issue has Issues in Famous, February 2008

Our Issue has Apostrophe Issues. You would think the editor would proofread her own editorial once or twice. Should be writers' strike and Writers Guild of America. Note: the errors are in the tangible magazine; the editable online version is correct.
