The ax finally dropped at Time Inc. on Thursday, but the news of 289 jobs cut across a number of titles left most staffers unshaken. "Everyone knew this day was coming," said one insider. Details of who will be exiting the building will emerge over the next few weeks. As one former Time Inc.-er described "it takes a day or so for the bodies to float to the surface." The cuts will come via a combination of Newspaper Guild-protected employees, who may volunteer to take buyout packages, and those who are simply asked to leave. In all, 172 staffers in editorial, split evenly between volunteer Guild members and non-volunteers, and 117 publishing executives are being let go. The deadline for volunteers to come forward is Feb. 1. The latest cuts will reduce Time Inc.'s worldwide workforce to around 10,500, with about 7,200 of those employed in the U.S. "Let me stress that these layoffs are not about performance of the individuals involved; the layoffs are about the restructuring of our editorial staffs as we move quickly into a future of flexible, multiplatform content creation," said John Huey, Time Inc. editor in chief, said in a statement. "That means redesigning and rethinking much of what we do to ensure we are as efficient as possible. In some cases, that requires reassigning responsibilities among staffers. And unfortunately, in some cases that requires a leaner workforce." MORE ONLINE

Looks like Graydon Carter won't be hosting a dinner in Paris for Diane von Furstenberg and fashion and style director Michael Roberts after all. The Vanity Fair editor in chief was set to celebrate the two on Tuesday during the Paris couture shows, but had to bow out at the last minute. At least it's for a good reason — Vanity Fair's March issue, its Hollywood issue, is shaping up to be the largest in the magazine's history. The issue will also be the first Hollywood edition under Roberts in his new post. Special correspondent Bob Colacello will host the party in Carter's place. The March issue hits newsstands Feb. 7.

In February's installment of "life with andr?," Vogue's editor at large Andr? Leon Talley writes about assisting "Dreamgirls" breakout star Jennifer Hudson with her search for the perfect Golden Globes dress. Talley writes the list was quickly narrowed down to two designers: Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and Costello Tagliapietra. So how did Hudson end up wearing a navy blue gown by former Vogue editor Vera Wang? Blame it on "a copy gaf." According to a Vogue spokesman, who got the details on the snafu from Talley via phone from Europe, Wang was in the running all along but "somehow" the details on the designer and her dress didn't make it into Talley's column. Oh those gremlins.

Is Hachette Filipacchi the latest media company to enact staff cuts? The U.S. branch of the French-based conglomerate, owner of Elle, Premiere and other titles, recently eliminated the receptionists from two of its floors. (The receptionists were outsourced, rather than direct employees of Hachette). Visitors to employees on the 40th and 41st floor, home to shelter titles like Elle D?cor and Metropolitan Home, as well as Premiere, are now received on the 42nd floor, according to a staff memo circulated in early January. A spokeswoman for the company admitted the move is a "cost-cutting measure" but declined to comment on whether further cuts are in the works. Hachette's U.S. operation named a new chief financial officer, Antoine de Noyer, in September. He'd previously worked for the group's Milan subsidiary.
