The magazine is slated to launch in September and will carry a $2.49 cover price. MORE ONLINE

BIDDING TIME: Bids are due today for the stable of 18 Time 4 Media magazines, which includes Field & Stream, Outdoor Life and the Parenting Group magazines. Sources close to the deal expect Time Inc. to eventually narrow the field down to two to four serious bids of more than $200 million each. The sources also said Time Inc. is entertaining bids for only the Parenting Group — which David Liu, chief executive officer of The Knot, is said to be interested in — although most bids are expected to be for the whole group. Other potential bidders include Stockholm media company Bonnier Group; The Quadrangle Group, working with former Wenner executive Kent Brownridge, and Leo Hindery, former chief executive of the YES Network. LEAVING THE BUILDING: Though many staffers at Time Inc. are still digesting the news that 289 co-workers will lose their jobs, at least two senior people won't be sticking around. As part of the layoffs, Sports Illustrated's news bureau manager Doug Goodman will leave the company, as will People assistant managing editor Robin Micheli. MOVE OVER MILAN: Details will be the first men's magazine to throw a party during the collections at Paris Men's Fashion Week this week. And while the event might not rock the industry, it could be bad news for all those men's wear executives in the French capital who so far have managed to escape publishers' strong-arm tactics during the season. According to Details' vice president and publisher Chris Mitchell, more staff from the business side of men's titles might head to Paris, whereas they traditionally have gone only to Milan. "Paris has traditionally been more of an editorial function," said Mitchell. He will host the Jan. 26 party with editor in chief Dan Peres. Approximately 300 people will be invited, including all the top designers, according to Mitchell. A spokeswoman added that Giorgio Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld are on the invite list. The party will be held at the venerable Le Meurice hotel, with a dark, clubby, New York feel to it. WOMAN'S WORK: She's been a chic fixture on the women's runway circuit for years but last week French Vogue's editor in chief Carine Roitfeld got to play with the boys for the first time during the fall Milan men's collections. In her additional role as editorial director of Vogue Hommes International, Roitfeld sat front row at several men's shows, including Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry and Bottega Veneta. "I think the atmosphere [of the men's shows] is totally different. I think it's cooler," she said before the Gucci show last Wednesday. "I like the men's journalists and I love to see boys on the catwalk. For me. it's another way to look at a show. When it's a women's show, I'm thinking a bit about myself, maybe what I'm going to wear, so it's very personal. With men's it's more journalistic." Roitfeld, who was appointed to the post in September, said she hopes to bring "something that doesn't exist so far" to the men's glossy. While fashion will be extensive, she said also wants to feature stories on grooming, sport, cars and health. "You know the real life of a real man," she said. "It doesn't matter if he's straight or gay, we're looking at all men." The first issue under her guidance breaks March 21. HAPPY HOUR: It may sound like it's aimed at the hard-living Hollywood starlet set, but Bauer Publishing's new title Cocktail Weekly is really another women's general-interest magazine. The title, launching in September, will slide into Bauer's already female-centric portfolio, which includes In Touch, Life & Style, First for Women and Woman's World. MORE ONLINE

At his sparse office in downtown Manhattan, Lewis Lapham, the editor emeritus of Harper’s Magazine, has little use for his new computer, preferring to pen the column he writes for the monthly in longhand. Yet he plans to make use of the Internet and radio to promote his new literary journal, Lapham’s Quarterly, before it comes out in the fall. “I think both of those media are lively arts, and it’s the way people increasingly communicate,” he said with a shrug. “More people get their news from radio than TV or newspapers, and you know the numbers for the Internet.” Still, for Lapham, 71, who will be inducted into the Magazine Editors’ Hall of Fame next month, it’s all about communicating ideas with ink on paper. Under Lapham, who’s been likened to H.L. Mencken and Mark Twain, Harper’s won 14 National Magazine Awards. MORE ONLINE ************Ed Ad ************
