Timely Exits

Time Inc. is less than halfway toward its target number of Guild-protected employees it needs to take buyouts, according to a representative from the Newspaper Guild. As of Thursday, 43 packages for both voluntary and nonvoluntary layoffs had been signed by the Guild, though the company set a target of up to 109 Guild employees to take packages, according to the representative. The representative characterized the process as slow, since negotiations for package specifics such as benefits and calculating time served by employees can be tedious.

Time, Life, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, Fortune Small Business, Money and People are the Time Inc. titles that fall under Guild protection. Time, People and Sports Illustrated were hardest hit by the layoffs, which will affect 289 employees. Time is said to have met its target for the number of people it needed to lay off, but it was unclear if People and Sports Illustrated have made their targets.

The Guild is still in negotiations with Time Inc. to finalize a new contract. Time Inc. submitted a proposal that would make several changes to the current contract, which expires March 22. Among them are eliminating sabbaticals for employees who have worked for the company for more than 15 years, lengthening the standard work week to 40 hours up from 35 hours and recalculating the buyout package for employees who are laid off, according to the representative.

Closing the Diary

Dominick Dunne may be ending his Diary column in Vanity Fair, or at least considering it, according to his comments in the new Bergdorf Goodman magazine. In a conversation with Dunne and writer Taki Theodoracopulos, moderated by Michael Gross, Dunne says he is "thinking of ending it," referring to his column in the general interest monthly.

In the Bergdorf article, Theodoracopulos spoke about his involvement with British news magazine The Spectator and his plan to make a graceful exit after 30 years at the weekly. "Like Gore Vidal, I hope I go before they push me," he said. Dunne responded, "I'm in the same dilemma, quite honestly. Thinking about maybe ending it." Theodoracopulos replied he'd write a letter if Dunne gave up the column. "But don't do it until I do," Dunne said, "or else they'll push me out."

WWD reported Monday that speculation was swirling as to whether Dunne would renew his contract with Vanity Fair. Insiders believe his role at the magazine would change amid rumors that the relationship between Dunne and editor in chief Graydon Carter had become strained. Dunne declined to comment for this story. A spokeswoman for Vanity Fair had no comment on the piece.

Shrinking World

Culture & Travel, the LTB Media title from which editorial director James Truman and editor in chief Michael Boodro have departed since its launch last September, has suffered more setbacks. The distribution deal with Barnes & Noble, which the company had earlier said would distribute 5,000 copies, has been terminated. "Since the book is controlled circulation, it was felt that the newsstand distribution would dilute the audience," said Timothy John Robson, the magazine's publisher. "Our decision further enhances the quality of our readers from an advertiser point of view."

Then there was the timing. Though it was initially promised to contributors on Jan. 26, the third issue began appearing last week at art events, where the magazine distributes a third of its 75,000 circulation. "On this occasion we were a little later than usual," admitted Robson, citing "demands for advertising." (The launch issue had 56 ad pages, but the third edition is down to 33.) As WWD reported, an extended advertising deadline caused some of the delay. But several sources said they believed it was further delayed by LTB Media owner Louise MacBain's failing to pay the printers on time. Cadmus Communications, a printer in Virginia, would only confirm LTB Media was a client. Robson would only say that "our relationship with Cadmus Communications remains confidential."

Add House & Garden to the barrage of relaunched magazine Web sites. By early April, the redesigned site will include blogs, videos and Web-exclusive content. Wine columnist Jay McInerney will blog and offer daily wine recommendations, Eco editor Zem Joaquin will blog and Eco and Design Sponge, aka freelance writer and popular design blogger Grace Bonney, will host video shopping tours. Readers can also submit photos of their homes for advice from editors. Let's hope they don't say simply tear it all out and start over.

Bon (Voyage) Fuller

RUMBLINGS inside American Media now say that Editorial Director Bonnie Fuller is reaching out to Hachette Filipacchi and to TMZ.com, the celebrity dirt-digging Web site, as she scrambles for an exit strategy.

The high-octane editor has usually shown little patience for staying in one job for very long and is clearly showing signs of strain in her current gig, where she still has more than two years remaining on her three-year contract.

So far, there are denials on all fronts about any of the rumored moves.

Vogue’s Talley vs. ‘Dreamgirl’ Hudson in Couture Catfight
By Diane Clehane

Newly-minted Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson might have been awarded the coveted gold statuette for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Dreamgirls, but she came up the evening's biggest fashion loser, thanks to her style mentor Andre Leon Talley of Vogue. Now the former BFFs are in the middle of a couture catfight that could become a public relations nightmare for the fashion bible.

The magazine's editor-at-large, in his self-described role as Hudson's "red carpet stylist" for the Academy Awards, chose the unflattering Oscar de la Renta dress and bizarre metallic capelet that was roundly ridiculed and destined to go down in Oscar infamy. The ensemble earned Hudson the title of the night's worst-dressed actress from virtually every outlet that covered the ceremony.

Evidently, the criticism stung. During her post-awards show appearance on Today, when asked by Matt Lauer if she could do anything over about her Oscar night experience, the starlet replied, "I would have worn another outfit."
