'Entertainment Weekly' Declines Hollywood Humor Campaign

It seems silicone breast implants and Scientology are two topics Entertainment Weekly would rather leave alone lest it spark fury among the Hollywood elite that makes its existence possible or raise the ire of Tom Cruise's lawyer Betram Fields. The magazine rejected a TDA Advertising & Design-created campaign for outerwear company Cloudveil Mountain Works' new Hollywood skiwear line. The campaign was intended to reach Hollywood elite during the Sundance Film Festival and other events held at Aspen and Vail ski resorts.

One ad pictures a mock Aspen street sign, stating "Silicone implants begin to freeze at -10?‹?? Fahrenheit." Additional text, underneath inset photos of three Cloudveil jackets, read: "We'd like to remind you Hollywood types to dress accordingly." A second ad showed a Cloudveil jacket over copy reading: "We wanted celebrities visiting ski towns to know about us. It was either run an ad in this magazine, or become scientologists." See them both here and here.

Ariel Foxman is back at In Style. The former editor-in-chief of now-defunct Conde Nast men's shopping magazine Cargo has returned to Time Inc. in the capacity of editor-at-large; he starts today. Foxman decamped from In Style in 2003, where he spent four years as a senior editor, to join Cargo. After its demise, he founded the Ariel Foxman Art Stable, where he hosted his former creative director, Donald Robertson's, art exhibition, "Look At Me, Kim Gieske." Robertson was recently named senior vice president, creative development for Estee Lauder. In his new post, Foxman will report to John Huey, Time Inc.'s editor-in-chief, but in his capacity at In Style, he will report to Charla Lawhon, the magazine's managing editor. Lawhon relayed the news of Foxman's return to her staff late Thursday night. The story was first reported by the New York Post.
