******* THE term “very GQ” entered the vernacular long ago, evoking sartorial splendor or stylish behavior. Now, the magazine that inspired the phrase is hoping to redefine it by declaring that you are never fully dressed without a social conscience. To help commemorate its 50th anniversary this year, GQ magazine is starting a charitable project called the Gentlemen’s Fund. The initiative is centered on a Web site that is planned to go live today, thegentlemensfund.com. It will also involve the GQ Mobile text-messaging service and events at stores like Saks Fifth Avenue. The singer John Legend, who is the spokesman for the fund, will encourage visitors to the Web site to make donations, to buy merchandise from marketers like Nautica and to take part in eBay auctions. All proceeds are to benefit five organizations in areas like education, men’s health and the environment. MORE ONLINE

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that there are no second acts in American lives, but he never met Lewis Lapham. In September, the silver-haired septuagenarian former editor of Harper's Magazine is set to launch Lapham's Quarterly, a journal of history. With a patrician demeanor and cigarette often in hand, Mr. Lapham has for decades punctured pomposity with wry observations on American society. An editor at Verso, Tom Penn, described his crystalline prose as "rapierlike." MORE ONLINE

Anna Dello Russo, the larger-than-life front row fixture who resigned from her post as editor-in-chief of L’Uomo Vogue last year, has resurfaced. On Wednesday, at a cocktail party hosted by British Vogue's Alexandra Shulman for Priya Tanna, the new editor of Vogue India, she revealed she’s signed on to consult for Vogue Japan for one season. Apparently, freelance gigs are suiting her quite well. “After that, who knows?” she laughed. “Life is young.” MORE ONLINE

RADAR SAYS IT ISN'T ROCKY BALBOA: Don't call it a comeback. Standing poolside near a giant bar carved out of ice at The Standard in L.A., Radar editor in chief Maer Roshan explained he was not throwing a "launch party" in honor of the magazine's third incarnation, but rather a celebration of Saturday's upcoming Independent Spirit Awards, along with party co-sponsor IFC. "We actually have more readers in L.A. than New York," said Roshan, "so the idea was to show L.A. who we are." The eclectic turnout of socialites, entertainment players and media folk — including Fabiola Beracasa and Tinsley Mortimer, Andrew Saffir, Daniel Benedict, ICM chief Jeff Berg, ABC Entertainment executive Andrea Wong, actress Laura Harring and television journalist Susan Campos — was a microcosm of the magazine. "They're our people, the people who are building the culture," Roshan proclaimed. Decidedly more low-key than the relaunch party Radar II threw in New York back in 2005, the event did have its moments, such as Beracasa and Mortimer hopping into the glass tank in the hotel lobby — which normally houses a scantily clad model idly passing time. Roshan looked on as photographers snapped, eventually asking, "Can someone get them a [copy of] Radar?" ALL IN THE FAMILY: She may be the only editorial assistant whose family has an ownership stake in her magazine's parent — or with her own publicist, for that matter. Gillian Hearst-Shaw, the recently engaged daughter of Patricia Hearst-Shaw, has been quietly working at Town & Country's semiannual wedding and quarterly travel magazines since early January. (Her aunt, Anne Randolph Hearst, is a contributor to Town & Country.) Hearst-Shaw, who studied marketing at Georgetown and interned in Hearst's Washington bureau with veteran correspondent Helen Thomas, admitted she interviewed for public relations positions before choosing Town & Country. "Not only do I get to learn and work, I also get to learn and work at a family company," she said. (The reality show pilot on socialites for which Hearst-Shaw and others auditioned in the fall "fell through," she said.) YOU'RE HIRED: The Trump clan are nothing if not self-promoters, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Ivanka Trump has agreed to partner with a magazine that won't even be launched for nine more months. Trump will help the new Michigan Avenue magazine organize its launch party — which, in this case, makes sense, since she is working on construction projects in Chicago and real estate appears to be the bread and butter of Michigan Avenue parent Ocean Drive Media Group's stable of magazines.
