******* PEOPLE magazine was busy conducting its exclusive Paris Hilton interview yesterday, and it is expected to be the cover of the issue due out Friday. Us Weekly, meanwhile, has slapped a "100% Paris Free" on its front cover. We don't have one single mention in the entire issue," said Us Weekly Editor-in-Chief Janice Min. People had been set late last week to pay $300,000 to Getty Images for photography rights to accompany an exclusive interview at the same time that Hilton was working on a $1 million interview with NBC. At the time, People Managing Editor Larry Hackett was insisting that People's deal was a "photography deal" only and that the magazine was not paying for the interview - which would have meant he was breaking Time Inc. editorial guidelines.

.B. Handelsman, who applied his dry wit to subjects ranging from politics to popular culture while creating nearly 1,000 New Yorker magazine cartoons, has died of lung cancer. Handelsman, 85, died June 20 at his home in Southampton, N.Y., The New Yorker said Tuesday. Besides his 950 cartoons and five covers for the magazine between 1961 and 2006, Handelsman illustrated several books and wrote three humor pieces that incorporated drawings. His work also appeared regularly in Playboy and in the British humor magazine Punch. “Bud Handelsman found a way to combine the traditions of the New Yorker cartoon and editorial cartooning and make of it something totally his own," David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, said in an e-mail. "At its best, his work had political bite and, at the same time, a real humanity and wit. Everyone at the magazine — editors, writers, artists, and readers — will miss him and will miss his unique voice." MORE ONLINE
3. Columbia Journalism Review
In recent years, two main schools of thought have emerged about how to lift Africa out of its seemingly bottomless descent into war, poverty, and disease. To borrow labels used by the reporter Andrew Rice in an insightful review for the Nation two years ago, two predominant arguments are being advanced: the “governance-first” camp “holds that Africans are impoverished because their rulers keep them that way,” and the “poverty-first” camp “believes African governments are so lousy precisely because their countries are so poor.” Each argument contains its own implicit demand: one puts the onus on Africans to throw out their more-often-than-not corrupt and kleptocratic leaders and find a way to take advantage of the rich resources of the continent to make it prosper. The other looks to the Western world to fulfill a moral responsibility to provide billions of dollars in aid to Africans so that an improved standard of living will lead to stronger and more stable countries. irst -- it must be said -- good intentions should never be undervalued. When you have a glossy magazine like Vanity Fair, whose existence depends on revenue from ads for expensive products -- like the diamond-encrusted Dior watch that appears on the wrist of Sharon Stone on page twenty-five of the “Africa Issue” -- it is always a risk to focus on subject matter that is not quite as sexy as, say, a photo shoot that features Scarlett Johansson’s bare bum. When you set yourself the task of capturing the essence of the continent in an issue, you can’t avoid AIDS, you can’t avoid disease, and you can’t avoid child soldiers. None of these are easy sells to the designers and car companies that pay for the magazine’s big bucks production costs. MORE ONLINE

Not many correspondents leave the hallowed halls of The New Yorker, but the Cond? Nast weekly has just lost a big one: Jeffrey Goldberg, its Washington correspondent, who's leaving to join the cerebral literati's other favorite mag, The Atlantic, as a national correspondent. The last departure at this level of The New Yorker was two years ago. Goldberg will assume his new position later this summer and will be based in The Atlantic's Washington office. He'd been with The New Yorker since 2000, covering foreign policy and the conflict in the Middle East. His work earned him several journalism honors, including a National Magazine Award for Reporting in 2003 for his writings on Islamic terrorism. "[New Yorker editor] David Remnick is terrific — everybody there is terrific — but The Atlantic made me a very attractive offer," Goldberg told WWD. "[Atlantic editor] James Bennet is a good friend of mine and The Atlantic is early in the process of reimagining themselves. That's interesting to me." Goldberg added that he likely would travel back to the Middle East more so than in recent years at The New Yorker. NEW HIRE: Noelle Howey is leaving her editor in chief duties at Time Out New York Kids to become deputy editor at Real Simple. Howey is filling a new position and joining Anne-Marie O'Neill and Lesley Alderman, who are also deputy editors at the Time Inc. title, under the leadership of managing editor Kristin van Ogtrop. Prior to Time Out, Howey was a senior editor and contributing writer at Glamour, senior editor at Teen People, the head of reporting at Talk and contributing writer at Seventeen. MORE ONLINE

It's not the first time the Polish weekly Wprost has gotten in trouble in Germany. This week, the cover depicts Chancellor Angela Merkel breast-feeding the Kaczynski twins. But it could have been worse, the editor-in-chief points out. At least they used a 21-year-old model. It's not exactly how one expects to see German Chancellor Angela Merkel: The broad, friendly smile seems completely at odds with her open blouse, two bare breasts spilling out. On each breast, one of Poland's governing Kaczynski twins is affixed -- Prime Minister Jaroslaw is suckling on the left, President Lech has attached himself to the right. One of them is holding up the "victory" sign right in Merkel's cleavage. The image is on the cover of this week's Wprost, a conservative Polish newsmagazine that has not shied away from firing barbs at Germany in the past. The headline reads: "Europe's Step-Mother." As current holder of the EU's rotating presidency, Merkel, the magazine seems to be saying, is treating the rest of Europe like her step-children. And during last week's EU summit in Brussels, the article inside makes clear, she has been particularly condescending to the Poles. The magazine writes of Germany's "post-colonial reflexes" and says that six decades after the end of World War II, "the Germans still aren't able to treat Poles like partners." MORE ONLINE
6. Fashion Week Daily
After a successful premiere event last February, Glamour is once again organizing a Fashion Gives Back benefit complete with a troop of top t-shirt designers. This year’s confirmed participating houses are Peter Som, Thakoon, Erin Fetherston, Jovovich-Hawk and Marchesa. Each designer will create a one-of-a-kind tee with proceeds from the sales benefitting a charity of their choice. Last season’s shirts, designed by Rodarte, Rachel Roy, and Jenni Kayne raised a total of $30,000 for various charities (only 250 shirts were made by each designer). Glamour will also host a party to celebrate the collaboration on September 4 at the start of the New York's Fashion Week. MORE ONLINE
