David Remnick is back on top. The New Yorker led the pack of nominees for this year's National Magazine Awards with a total of nine, including for general excellence for magazines with circulation between one million and two million, feature writing, profile writing and review and criticism.

Meanwhile, Adam Moss' New York garnered the most ASME nominations in the title's history with seven, including three for its fashion and shopping coverage — its Strategist section was nominated in the magazine section category, its Fashion Week online coverage earned honors for interactive feature and a piece on Karl Lagerfeld won a nod for profile writing. New York was also nominated for general excellence, design (though its designer, Luke Hayman, is now at Time working on that magazine's redesign), and Nymag.com's Grub Street blog also won a nod for interactive service.

GQ earned four nominations, including general excellence, its first nomination in the category since 2000. Vanity Fair also won four nominations, including columns and commentary for a series of Christopher Hitchens' columns, and profile writing. W and Glamour earned two nominations — W for photography and photo portfolio and Glamour for general excellence and personal service. Vogue and Details took home one nomination each and will battle it out with W for the photo portfolio prize. People.com, slate.com, espn.com and businessweek.com were among the nominees for general excellence online.

Ripping a page from the tabloids' playbook, Harper's Bazaar will have Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (who clearly have kissed and made up after their much-documented falling out) on its June cover. A source close to Hilton said the photo shoot took place a few weeks ago in California. A spokeswoman at Bazaar declined to comment.

IT didn't take long for Mary Berner, new CEO of Reader's Digest Association, to launch her first raid on her old stomping grounds at Cond? Nast. Reader's Digest, which was officially taken over by Ripplewood Holdings on Feb. 26, is expected to announce today that Suzanne Grimes, senior vice president of corporate sales, will join RDA as a division president.

Grimes, who resigned yesterday, first worked for Berner at TV Guide and then followed her to Glamour. Also jumping ship is Eva Dillon, the launch publisher of Cookie, who also goes back to Berner's TV Guide days.

Sources said she resigned yesterday and will join RDA as publisher of the flagship Reader's Digest magazine. The defections extract some measure of revenge against Cond? Nast CEO Chuck Townsend, who basically realigned her out of a job early last year. RDA officials could not be reached for comment.

4 Editors, an Art Director and a Shot at the Magazine Title

Sixty years ago, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists of Chicago created its so-called Doomsday Clock to alert the world to the perils of the post-Hiroshima age.

The editors originally set the clock at seven minutes to midnight and over the years have moved the big hand closer or farther away depending on the perceived threat of nuclear war. In 1953, they moved it to two minutes to midnight, and most recently, in January, put it at five minutes till.

The magazine’s staff is now on an additional kind of alert. It was declared a finalist yesterday for a National Magazine Award for general excellence and is counting the days to May 1, when the awards, the industry’s most prestigious, will be announced at a ceremony in Lincoln Center.
