Mag Made Me Into Pedophile

THE manager of such rock legends as the Ramones, Iggy Pop and the MC5 says Out magazine concocted fake quotes that made him sound like a creepy pedophile who lured underage kids into bed by promising they could meet the bands.

"My reputation is ruined because Out has called me virtually a sexual predator. It is atrocious," Danny Fields, who's filed a $100 million defamation suit against the mag, told Page Six.

Fields, 65 - who once shared a loft with Warhol star Edie Sedgwick and was an influential figure in the East Village punk rock scene - says he was interviewed by Out's editor-in-chief Aaron Hicklin for a sidebar to accompany an October 2006 article, "They Say If You Remember the '70s, Then You Weren't There," written by Village Voice columnist Michael Musto.

Swapping Seats, Staffing Up & Back Again

SWAPPING SEATS: Another staffer is leaving Joanne Lipman right before the latest Portfolio is ready to hit newsstands. Senior writer Katrina Brooker, who joined last year from Fortune, is returning to her old stomping grounds. Brooker left Fortune in June 2006 while Eric Pooley was managing editor, but had a close relationship with Andy Serwer, Fortune's current managing editor, and John Huey, former managing editor and now Time Inc.'s editor in chief. A Fortune spokeswoman confirmed Brooker's return to the magazine, but details on when she will start or what her title will be are still unconfirmed.

STAFFING UP: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia has hired Vicky Lowry to work on its development project, said to be a test for a magazine for older women. Lowry left her position as features editor at Elle Decor early last month, and has since been replaced by Jennifer Bush, formerly lifestyle director at the now-defunct Child magazine. Lowry is working in conjunction with MSLO chief creative officer Gael Towey. A spokeswoman confirmed the hire and Lowry's editorial development role, but declined to comment further.

BACK AGAIN: Just over a year after resigning as publisher of Travel + Leisure (to, as American Express Publishing chief executive officer Ed Kelly put it at the time, "add a little more leisure to her travel"), Ellen Asmodeo-Giglio is back on the magazine publishing scene, this time as president of brands at LTB Media. She told WWD she plans to assemble a corporate team of as many as eight publishers, with the intent to facilitate group buys across the titles, particularly for nonendemic advertising. Culture & Travel's new editor, Kate Sekules, herself an American Express Publishing veteran, reached out to Asmodeo-Giglio, who was originally going to consult.
