Life Cut Short
By Stephanie D. Smith

Bauer Publishing dismissed seven staffers at Life & Style on Thursday across most editorial departments. The majority were lower level employees from the fashion, beauty, news, photo and design departments, but the cuts also included style director Anne Fritz, senior designer Valentina Porrazzo and senior news editor Rosemarie Lennon. "Life & Style did complete a restructuring of its organization in an effort to position the magazine for continued, future growth," according to a company spokeswoman. The cuts are the first major set of firings since new editor in chief Mark Pasetsky took over the title in November.

Bauer reorganizes at one title as it invests in another — in September, the company will launch a twentysomething women's weekly, Cocktail. Bauer is staffing up the magazine and recently appointed Audrey Razgaitis as creative director. Razgaitis joins from Cocktail's sister title In Touch, where she held the same position.

NEGOTIATIONS for a new contract for Us Weekly Editor-in-Chief Janice Min may go down to the wire.

Jann Wenner, the boss at Wenner Media, had been putting the squeeze on business-side executives but - and surprisingly - he has opted not to do that with Min's contract talks.

In fact, unlike in the past when negotiations dragged on well past a deadline, Wenner actually has an offer on the table. And it's said to be a good one, valued at more than $1.2 million a year.

I'm a college senior who has a short internship at a major fashion magazine at the end of the summer, and I need a place to stay from August 4-18. I'm a magazine junkie from the south who has no allergies to animals and doesn't mind smokers. Very clean, knows the city very well, and you likely won't even notice I'm there because I'll be working so much. I'm just looking for somewhere safe to lay my head for two weeks. Please email summerfun@unc.edu with any inquiries. Willing to pay anything from a weekly rate or even my half of a full month's rent for just those two weeks. No furniture or anything for me to move in--just me and a couple bags of clothes.
