******* Ed is almost as sad about Reese and Ryan as he was about Nick and Jessica. ******* ******* News ******* 1. Jossip Budget Travel's Stab Wounds Wide Enough for New Publisher to Slip In? By Jossip Editors 10/30/06 http://www.jossip.com/gossip/budget-travel/ budget-travels-stab-wounds-wide-enough-for-new-publisher-to-slip-in-20061030.php Despite what our recent coverage of Budget Travel might suggest, we don't have it out for the Newsweek-owned publication. We'd actually much rather document gay magazine cover rip-offs, BlackBook writers revolts, and daytime TV cancelations. But under editor Erik Torkells, BT continues to bleed, and we continue to make art installations from the O-negative. After we were the first to tell you about the departure of Torkells' No. 2, Pegi Goodman, who stopped, dropped, and rolled out the door soon after senior editor Nina Willdorff decamped to American Express' Travel + Leisure, we're checking in with news not about an exit, but about a prohibition on an entrance. We're told publisher Nancy Telliho hasn't been allowed to hire a new ad director ever since Bruce Ellerstein left over the summer which might make boosting ad pages and pleasing The Man, you know, a little hard. But if not a new ad director, then perhaps a new publisher? Could Telliho be on the way out? We're also told former Travel + Leisure associate publisher Robert Tramondo ousted along with T+L's publisher Ellen Asmodeo over egregious expense accounts has been meeting with BT brass about the top job. It's worth noting, as per our July item announcing Tramondo's exit, that he (and Asmodeo) ranked among the lowest in a survey of AmEx Publishing staffers; he was also said to have no respect among his staff, likely connected to his favorite hobby of assailing them in public. Also checking in for a job interview is Craig Pavia, the former group publisher for Travel Savvy and Business Traveler. (In case you were wondering, he too was involuntarily removed from his spot.) Pavia has also put in time at T+L. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Or Erik Torkells loses his job, and we're forced to find a new punching bag. 2. WWD http://wwd.com/issue/article/110330 By Irin Carmon and Stephanie D. Smith 10/31/06 http://wwd.com/issue/article/110330 TRY, TRY AGAIN: Is Absolute the new Radar? Another incarnation of the upscale title will be out by the end of November, and though its new owners, Michigan-based Hour Media, promise a magazine identical to its buzzed-about but short-lived predecessor, don't expect to see any familiar names on the masthead. Absolute has an entirely new staff on both the editorial and business sides. LIFE'S LESSONS: Monthly magazines take a gamble each month when picking celebrity cover stars, since a star's personal affairs can affect their cover appeal before and beyond a magazine's on-sale date. Take the last two weeks: Seventeen's December cover subject Paris Hilton was arrested in Sept. 7 for allegedly driving while under the influence. But Interview's November issue featuring Ryan Phillippe on its cover shipped a month before news broke Monday that the actor was divorcing his wife, actress Reese Witherspoon. MORE ONLINE 3. New York Times A Grown-Up Wizard s Tale By David Colman 10/29/06 http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/29/fashion/29POSS.html?_r=1&ref=fashion&oref= slogin ANY adult who has accompanied a child down the weird, wonderful path of Harry Potter may have smiled indulgently at the concept of a parallel universe, filled with sorcerers and mythic beasties, occupying the same space as our own, yet in a completely different dimension. The idea! But what are lifestyle magazines if not fairy tales for grown-ups? They do tell of a beauteous world where legendary creatures magically transcend the natural laws of weight gain and credit card limits. The new Vogue Living, a shelter-style supplement to the mother ship that may yet be published on its own, is a pinnacle of this form. In the first edition, just out, a bevy of enchanted princesses of the moment (Amanda Brooks, Samantha Boardman Rosen, Aerin Lauder) loll fetchingly in their respective pleasure domes. The magazine is the work of the fashion world s own Harry Potter, Hamish Bowles, who, like that boy wizard, knew from childhood that he was different. My tastes formed quite early, said Mr. Bowles, who grew up in North London. All I ever wanted to do was go to costume museums. When he was not shopping for antique clothing or being ferried around to museums by his patient father, his nose was buried in the fantastic society tales of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edith Wharton, Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh.
