******* One person who won't be sorry to see the back of Seventeen editor Atoosa Rubenstein is her former intern and self-styled nemesis, Brianne Burrowes. Earlier this fall, Burrowes—who managed to land a summer internship at the magazine despite flaming out as a contestant on its reality show spinoff, Miss Seventeen—turned up on Page Six threatening to sue Rubenstein for slander. Burrowes claimed Rubenstein told staffers she had leaked damaging stories about the magazine to gossip blogs. Last week, after Rubenstein announced she was leaving Seventeen to write a book and start a Web venture, visitors to Burrowes' MySpace blog noticed a new post, entitled "The Truth About What Happened Between Me and Atoosa." "As many of you have heard, Atoosa and I have cut our ties with each other," she writes. "I want all of you who thinks [sic] she's a role model looking out for your best interests to know the truth."

Ashley Judd topless on the cover is one thing. A breastfeeding ex-nightly news anchor, it appears, is quite another. Elizabeth Vargas, the former anchor of ABC's World News Tonight who lost — or left — her job before going on maternity leave, sat is disappointed that Marie Claire chose photoshop her breastfeeding behind the anchor desk to illustrate its feature interview with her in the December issue, on which Judd appears topless on its cover — a first, according to editor Joanna Coles. Drudge has the point-counterpoint: A source close to Vargas: "Elizabeth was more than happy to sit for the interview but was disturbed that the magazine would set aside basic journalistic standards to photoshop her head onto a fake image. Vargas did joke that her real baby is cuter, that she is proud to breastfeed her newborn but wouldn't do it at the anchor desk and that she wouldn't be caught dead in that ugly gold blouse!" A Marie Claire spokesperson: "There isn't a working mother who can't relate to this image and immediately identify with the very real dilemma Elizabeth Vargas wrestled with. We do not believe anyone seriously thought she would nurse and report the news the same time! This is an image illustration and is stated so with the byline of this story. We only want to make the point that women choosing between their career and being a parent is a tough decision that we are very sensitive to. MORE ONLINE

While the women’s service category has been overshadowed by lifestyle magazines and a wave of au courant service titles, Family Circle is finding that old-fashioned service is a pattern for success. Since acquiring the magazine from G+J USA Publishing in 2005, Meredith Corp. narrowed its audience focus to moms of teens and tweens and refreshed its look, all the while staying true to its roots. “We’ve filled a void as it related to a teen and tween marketplace,” said vp, publisher Jim Carr, who, with editor in chief Linda Fears was named in July 2005 to lead the title’s renewal. “You are absolutely hard pressed to find any magazine that spends any time and space against the teen- and tween-focused mom.” The formula seems to be working. This year through November, Family Circle’s ad pages rose 6.5 percent to 1,510 compared to 1.1 percent for the overall women’s service category, reports the Mediaweek Monitor. Time Inc.’s All You, a modern take on service (inspired by Bauer Publishing’s Woman’s World), was up 20.7 percent to 976.9 pages, while Meredith’s Ladies’ Home Journal was up 0.9 percent to 1,444.9. On the ad front, Family Circle’s May redesign has lured new categories to the fold. Hewlett Packard, Home Depot and Sears signed on this year. MORE ONLINE 4. WWDMemo Pad: Dear John... New Desks... A New Vibe... By Miles Socha, Stephanie D. Smith, Amy Wicks, Rosemary Feitelberg 11/14/06 http://wwd.com/issue/article/110618 DEAR JOHN: After Kate Moss, Sofia Coppola and Catherine Deneuve, Dior designer John Galliano is the next guest editor to do his thing for Paris Vogue's December issue. The title, edited by Carine Roitfeld, traditionally invites a personality to tweak the holiday book by playing a hand in everything from styling shoots and choosing photographers to sharing their personal proclivities. — Miles Socha NEW DESKS: Dwell has promoted Sam Grawe to editor in chief from executive editor. Grawe, who's worked at the magazine since its launch in 2000, becomes editor two months after Allison Arieff abruptly left in August under a change in management structure that created an office of the editor, including managing editor Ann Wilson Spradlin, who will oversee Dwell's edit and art team, and executive editors Grawe and Andrew Wagner. Wagner left in October to become editor in chief of American Craft; Spradlin is still there, but Grawe's appointment effectively dissolves the office of the editor structure. At Us Weekly, Colleen Curtis has been named executive editor, reporting to editor Janice Min. Curtis will join the Wenner weekly on Dec. 28 from "Good Morning America," where she was supervising editor. Finally, at Rodale, Stephen Perrine has hired Jack Otter as deputy editor and Robert Love as editor at large for Best Life. Otter will be Best Life's lead financial expert, having worked at Smart Money, where he was articles editor, and as a business columnist at Newsday. Love, a 20-year veteran of Rolling Stone who was most recently editor at large at Playboy, will shape Best Life's celebrity and fashion profiles. Otter joins on Nov. 13; Love joins on Nov. 27. Though Perrine gains two editors, he's losing executive editor Jeff Csatari, who is leaving at the end of the month to run Rodale International, overseeing 55 international editions. — Stephanie D. Smith A NEW VIBE: Following a change in ownership in July, Vibe relaunched its Web site to attract new audiences and give current readers a reason to come back. The numbers seem to be heading in the right direction — so far, at least: July to October, unique visitors have doubled and page views have tripled to 6.7 million from 2.2 million, according to Deep Metrix. "We are focused on building an integrated media company," said Ari Horowitz, president of Vibe. Changes to the site include posting 15 to 20 stories a day about the music world, adding nine more blogs by yearend (the site currently only has one), including more photos and building proprietary video content. The site just launched a music search function with more than 10,000 artists that allows the reader to access related items such as CDs, DVDs and photos. And Horowitz plans to add e-commerce access so that readers can purchase or find a way to buy clothing and products in the magazine. To drive more traffic to the site, he said it's key for vibe.com to begin appearing more often in search engines. Separately, the magazine is taking a year off from its annual Vibe Awards. Between the recent change in ownership and sponsor UPN folding into the new CW, a spokeswoman said it has decided to hold off on the event until next year. — Amy Wicks MORE ONLINE
