******* ******* ******* BTW, Ed doesn't endorse the advertisement you see above. It's just what happens when you use a free e-newsletter service.
******* Tim Castelli has resigned as publisher of Rolling Stone to join Google as New York sales director, a spokeswoman at the magazine said today. An internal announcement from owner Wenner Media is expected shortly. A successor has not yet been named. Mr. Castelli's tenure, which will officially end on Wednesday, will be another short one for the top business-side spot at Rolling Stone. He was named publisher in April 2006 after Steve DeLuca, who had filled the post for two years, failed to reach a new contract with Wenner. Mr. Castelli, who was associate publisher at Maxim before joining Rolling Stone, is not the first magazine pro to turn tech. Last August Google named Eileen Naughton, former president of Time magazine, head of ad sales for the web giant's New York offices. She was recently named director-media platforms, from regional sales director-East Coast. MORE ONLINE

One of the voices chronicling the resurgence of high tech may soon be silenced. Business 2.0 magazine, a seven-year-old Time Inc. publication that covers start-ups, technology trends and changes in the new economy, might publish its final issue in September, according to people briefed on discussions about the fate of the magazine. Though a reprieve is still possible, according to these people, executives at Time Inc., the nation’s largest magazine group, are threatening to shut down Business 2.0 in the midst of a sharp drop in advertising at the San Francisco-based magazine.

ARTIST'S INTERPRETATION: Magazine editors often change the photo portrait that appears in their editor's letters as often as they change their shirts. But how many have appeared as a Simpsons character? Glenda Bailey now has such bragging rights, appearing as a Simpsonized cartoon in her editor's letter along with Marge Simpson in the front row of a fashion show. The August issue of Harper's Bazaar features an eight-page feature by Simpsons illustrator Julius Preite where the fictional family goes to Paris with Linda Evangelista (also caricatured). The Simpsons appear with cartoon versions of Donatella Versace, Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs. Most editors scrutinize their photos to make sure they capture the fewest wrinkles or whitest smiles, so wasn't Bailey, who wears a white Lanvin top in the photo, concerned that Preite's animated treatment — especially that jaundiced tone particular to the residents of Springfield — would be unflattering? "There's no bad side to being Simpsonized," Bailey commented. Meanwhile, Marge Simpson would have blocked many a market editor's view with her trademark sky-high blue hair. Surely a front-row gatekeeper would have relegated her to the back, right? "I sat next to Mike Tyson once, but I guess it wasn't his hair that was big," Bailey quipped. We assume she was talking about his muscles. LOSING FAITH: The cover of a magazine remains one of the few venues where celebrities are spared the warts and all coverage of the tabloid age. But upon launching in May, the Gawker media blog Jezebel promised $10,000 to anyone who could undermine that safety zone with the best example of a pre-retouched magazine cover photo. On Monday, the winning before-and-after photos were released from the July cover of Redbook. More than just smoothing Faith Hill's crow's-feet, the photo also radically transforms the 39-year-old's arm, shrinking its circumference and removing its elbow bend. The hand in her lap and drooping skin on her back also disappear. OLLING ON: Rolling Stone publisher Tim Castelli is leaving to join Google as New York sales director. The staff was notified on Monday by chief marketing officer Gary Armstrong. Castelli joined Rolling Stone last April. Previously, he was associate publisher of Maxim and worked at Ziff Davis Media for 13 years. Castelli's last day is Wednesday. A replacement is expected to be announced shortly. TAKE THREE: Is Bill Wackermann on a path to be the next Richard Beckman, or has he simply been bit more than a few times by the Hollywood bug? Reel Moments, Glamour's three-year-old program spearheaded by vice president and publisher Wackermann, started as a reader contest designed to create buzz and, like most brand extensions, drive more ad pages to the magazine. The program invites readers to send in stories with the chance to have their tales adapted into short films directed by A-list actresses. In its third iteration, the franchise has not only become a significant one for Glamour, but the program is also looking to make a bigger splash in Tinsletown. Reel Moments will hand out a filmmaking grant to a budding director and host a symposium where alumni and notable women in the industry will meet to discuss issues affecting woman in Hollywood.
