Sales for many of the UK's national newspapers recovered from the seasonally slow December to result in slight monthly increases in much of the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) figures today for January 2012.

The Economist is the magazine industry's undisputed star performer, achieving 61 consecutive circulation rises over the last 31 years, but group chief executive Andrew Rashbass expects global print sales to fall for the first time in 2012, so why is he "delighted"?

This week, Alun Williams, group publishing director at Hearst-Rodale, anticipates the first edition of Women's Health to hit the newsstands, goes for a posh curry at The Red Fort, and admires David Beckham's (circulation) pulling power.

This week Out and About has pictures of the hopefuls queuing up outside Hammersmith Apollo for Britain's Got Talent and posts snaps from Runway at Le Baron and the InStyle Best Beauty Buys.

This week Bitch attends the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions and meets Ant 'n' Dec, turns out for The Lighthouse Company event and admires David Beckham in his underpants.

Automotive ads reigned triumphantly once again at this year's Super Bowl, with Honda and Volkswagen among the most popular.
