Jorge I hear what you're saying about the quick post, and I could have gone into more details. There are other very similar design elements in the site that strike me as more than just coincidence, but I just did a quick article about it. K2 is just a two-column design using a header. The fact remains that the same design treatments and colors were used by US Weekly, and the result is highly suspect.

'Yeeah!' is using Wordpress, and the 'US' site is using the Drupal engine with a port of the 'K2' theme, so I guess the 'K2' designers deserve some credit as well.
