THAT didn't last long. Only a week ago, Mitchell Fox, a former group president of Cond? Nast, was being linked with former editorial director James Truman and headhunting honcho Sunny Bates in a new venture that was to be part acrobatic circus acts and part blue-sky think tank.

Now, it turns out that Fox has exited the nascent Truman venture and is heading West to join a Web start-up.

Fox will be the president and chief executive officer of 8020 Publishing, which produces Web sites and magazines about travel and photography and design.

Penthouse, Flynt Offer ‘Kristen’ Millions as Spitzer Makes Exit

Just as Eliot Spitzer exits public life, ``Kristen'' may be preparing for her grand entrance.

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt said he's willing to pay the prostitute, identified by the New York Times as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, $1 million to pose naked. Dupre, 22, may rake in $2 million more by selling her story to a magazine, said Lucianne Goldberg, the former book agent who passed taped conversations between Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky to reporters.

``A million dollars is more than what she would make as a call girl,'' Flynt said in an interview from Los Angeles after he made the offer March 14. ``She's quite attractive. Maybe Spitzer wasn't paying too much after all.''
