Stuffed With Style (Items 2 and 3) By Amy Wicks, Khanh T.L. Tran, and Stephanie D. Smith 10/3/06 http://wwd.com/issue/article/109588?page=0 GOTHIC WONDERLAND: Is House & Garden magazine going Goth? Not exactly, but it is embracing the trend with a "Gothic Splendor" layout in its November issue, which became the inspiration for eight upcoming window displays at Bergdorf Goodman. Douglas Little of D.L. & Co., who produced "Gothic Splendor" for the magazine, came up with the idea, and Linda Fargo, senior vice president, fashion office and store presentation at Bergdorf's, gave the green light for the collaboration. "Designers have provided a theater for fashion, but few people have tried that with home decor," said Little. Each window will tell a different story, combining clothing from designers such as Alexander McQueen and John Galliano with opulent backdrops that will have items such as a sterling-silver chain spider-web encrusted with Swarovski crystals and a mannequin riding sidesaddle on a skeletal horse. STUFFED WITH STYLE: For Stuff's third annual "Style Awards," the Dennis Publication title searched for an eclectic mix of fashion renegades. Making this year's list of 35 honorees were Miami Heat guard and Sean John model Dwyane Wade, L-R-G designers Jonas Bevacqua and Robert Wright, Kevin Federline (aka Mr. Britney Spears), deceased punk Sid Vicious and actor Johnny Knoxville, who was named "Style Man of the Year." To fete some of the honorees in Los Angeles last week, Stuff carpeted the rooftop of ArcLight Cinemas' parking garage with black Astroturf and transformed it into the ultimate playroom for dudes. Between checking out leggy ladies in little cocktail dresses, male guests played video games and munched on junk food that was paired with fine wines from Dancing Bull (cabernet sauvignon for McDonald's hamburgers and merlot for Domino's pizza clearly Stuff knows its readers' dietary habits).

New York Post NEW MAGS LAUNCH ALL-OUT VANITY PRESS By On The Newsstand Editors 10/02/06 http://www.nypost.com/seven/10022006/business/ new_mags_launch_all_out_vanity_press_business_.htm This week On the Newsstand reviews three new titles that explore the three P's: the prissy, the precious and the pretentious. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a magazine about a college and its alumni. But there is nearly nothing right about the debut issue of 02138, which takes its name from Harvard's zip code. It has very little to say about Harvard as a place or entity, focusing instead on high-profile and controversial alumni doing things that generate a lot of attention. If reading about a documentarian of girls' weight and body image issues is not for you, then there is a list of the 100 most influential alumni. Some of the choices make sense, like Bill Gates and George Bush, but a lot of it is just media-centric puffery. Good, the mag for people who "give a damn," lives up to its name. It's good - but it's far from great. Although glimmers of cleverness, hipness and humor shine through at times, the mag reads like it has the weight of the world on its shoulders. The theme of this issue is America, and why it's pretty messed up. Like most of the articles, an essay by New Yorker contributor James Surowiecki on global perceptions of the U.S. is ponderous and slow. It's hard to imagine even the most guilt-ridden American consumer running out to buy this mag. MORE ONLINE 3. Gawker 'People' Pays $1M for Pics of Anna Nicole's Wedding/Suffering By Gawker Editors 10/03/06 http://www.gawker.com/news/people/ people-pays-1m-for-pics-of-anna-nicoles-weddingsuffering-204844.php You have to hand it to Anna Nicole Smith: despite the sudden, tragic death of her son Daniel just days after the birth of her baby girl, she seems to have made quite the comeback. Financially speaking, that is. Immediately following Daniel's death, she had Getty Images broker the final photos of her son and daughter, taken hours before his death, which were eventually sold to In Touch for a nice $375K or so. But that's not enough to assuage this woman's suffering! So last week, when she had her emotional, fake wedding to her lawyer Howard K. Stern (who also claims to be the father of her new child), she had someone whip out the PowerShot and take a whole new round of snaps. And wouldn't you know it, Getty Images came to the celebrity weeklies with 30 images, ready to broker an offer. The lucky winner? People, who is said to have forked over $1 million for the not-wedding wedding photos in a classy little bidding war (Radar confirms the sale). So what's People ed Larry Hackett getting for his money? Pictures of Anna in a wedding dress with Stern, posing on the catamaran where they wed, and several images where sad little 3-week-old Dannielynn is being held. So what makes these banal shots worth $1 million? In one pic, Anna is supposedly holding the baby while wearing pasties. Apparently, they're saving the one with the titty tassles for Cookie. 4. Jossip Us Weekly's Ken Baker Looks to People For New Job Or At Least Job Interest By Jossip Editors http://www.jossip.com/gossip/ken-baker/ us-weeklys-ken-baker-looks-to-people-for-new-job-or-at-least-job-interest-20061003.php Us Weekly West Coast executive editor and, of late, our favorite punching bag Ken Baker must be growing a bit nervous about his future tenure with Jann Wenner's tab. How else to explain his recent chats with the competition? We hear exclusively that Baker who's Us contract is said to expire in the spring of '07 has been making the inquiry rounds with People managing editor Larry Hackett. Baker phoned Hackett to let him know his services are available, should People need the West Coast help. Bragging about his ability to "rally the reporters" and get them to "break news on a regular basis," Baker spoke to Hackett as recently as August about a possible jump. It wasn't until People staffers got wind of the conversations and confronted Hackett about fraternizing and potentially hiring Baker did the Time Inc. title chieftan back off from talks. (It's no secret People staffers don't look highly of Baker.) Hackett's excuse for taking Baker's calls? That he was merely conducting "investigative research" on the competition, using the Us editor to learn more about Janice Min's operations with no intention of actually hiring him. Which would make sense, theoretically, as this wouldn't be the first time Hackett has done it. On Baker's end, meanwhile, a jump to People may not be what's he's actually after. He could be simply stirring up interest in his gossip brand name to ensure things go his way when it's time to renegotiate his contract in the spring. Or at least that's that excuse he can tell boss Janice when she reads this. 5. Fashion Week Daily Market Editor Alert! By Jim Shi 10/2/06 http://www.fashionweekdaily.com/news/fullstory.sps?inewsid=368034&itype=8486 In an effort to bulk up its market team, Harper s Bazaar has turned to the glossy halls of Cond?
