******* BTW, Ed doesn't endorse the random non-Ed advertisement you see at the top of the newsletter. It's just what happens when you use a free e-newsletter service. ******* ******* Want to interview celebrities and write juicy stories for a tabloid? Ed presents a four-night seminar with entertainment writer/editor Deborah Baer (she's worked for In Touch, US Weekly, Star, Seventeen, Ladies' Home Journal and more) that will give you the tools to break into the biz. Baer will teach students how to turn their brilliant ideas into entertainment features, write celebrity profiles, improve their interviewing skills — and make $$$ just by watching TV, reading books, listening to music, surfing the Internet and going to the movies. Class meets Wednesdays (February 27, March 5, 12 and 19) from
7-9pm. Cost is $200.
******* The gathering survived a few jolts, such as when Galotti quit Vogue to join Tina Brown at Talk magazine in 1998, but it began to unravel when Steve Florio first invited his old friend Galotti back into the Cond? Nast fold after Talk collapsed - only to ax him several years later.. But then, Galotti, the real-life inspiration for Candice Bushnell's "Mr. Big" character in "Sex and the City," sold his properties on Central Park West and in Water Mill in the Hamptons and moved with his wife and young daughter to Vermont, where he started a farm, competed in rodeos and even became a member of the local volunteer fire department. Though in subsequent years he was invited to let bygones be bygones and return to the Italian Guys, he always found a reason to stay away. MORE ONLINE

Newsweek is poised to be the first major publishing firm of recent years to move from midtown to downtown, as the magazine has a lease out for about 200,000 square feet at landlord Alex Sapir’s 100 Church Street, according to a source with knowledge of the pending deal. For decades, Newsweek has been perched in the heart of midtown, residing in the towering prewar building 444 Madison Avenue and then 1775 Broadway, attaching the designation of “the Newsweek building” to both properties. If the deal goes through—the lease has not yet been signed, though people involved expect it to be finished in the next few weeks—it would represent a major coup for Lower Manhattan. Traditionally, national media organizations have tended to be headquartered in or around midtown. Newsweek is currently a few blocks away from its competitor Time at the Time-Life building on Sixth Avenue, for instance. And while media and advertising firms such as the Arnell Group and American Lawyer Media have started to trickle into Lower Manhattan, none with quite the cachet or size of Newsweek have opted to move headquarters downtown.

Imagine a wedding reception without food, music or Champagne, and you get an inkling of how a lot of Hollywood would view the Oscars without the Vanity Fair party. But Hollywood will no longer have to imagine it — the party is off. In sympathy with striking writers, Vanity Fair on Tuesday canceled its annual multimillion-dollar must-attend party. There are other parties, but this is the one Oscar-related trapping that has come to rival the main event for a cast of above-the-title stars, assorted billionaires and several hundred of their closest friends. The editor of Vanity Fair, Graydon Carter, said on Tuesday that canceling was the right thing to do, whether or not there was a breakthrough in talks between the Writers Guild of America and production companies before the Oscar ceremony on Feb. 24.

Shortly after former Newsweek writer Dana Thomas signed a contract with Portfolio to become the latter magazine’s European editor, she celebrated with a “couple-thousand”-dollar shopping spree. “The first thing I did after I got the job was go shopping, and I bought three new dresses and a pair of red boots,” she said. “They’re red suede boots and they go over the knee—they’re really hot. I wore them on The Tyra Banks Show and she said she loved them, and I thought, ‘These are my Cond? Nast boots!’” Recently, Portfolio has gone on a significant shopping spree of its own. In mid-January, the magazine brought in longtime Vanity Fair contributor David Margolick to become a contributing editor; this just two months after poaching VF contributing editor Suzanna Andrews. They have also signed former New York Times executive editor Howell Raines to a contract; hired former New York Post city editor Dan Colarusso to run their Web site; and put longtime freelancer James Verini on contract. Two weeks ago, editor Joanne Lipman was speaking to Slate founder Michael Kinsley about a potential consulting relationship. MORE ONLINE
