******* Is another magazine already haggling to become a partner with "Project Runway" once its contract with Elle runs out? The Hachette Filipacchi Media title is contracted to the reality show through its fifth season, the last on the Bravo network. But season six of "Project Runway" will be broadcast on Lifetime, and the existing contracts between the show and its partners are being renegotiated. Though Elle's contract could be renewed, sources close to "Project Runway" say Marie Claire is expressing an interest in participating. Such a partnership is ripe for synergy: Marie Claire is published by Hearst Magazines, whose parent company jointly owns Lifetime with The Walt Disney Co. Hearst also published Lifetime magazine in 2003, but the unsuccessful launch shuttered after a year. A spokeswoman for Marie Claire said, "We think 'Project Runway' is a fantastic show, but to speculate at this point beyond season five would be, as [season four winner] Christian Siriano says, 'A hot mess!'" Nevertheless, season six will bring at least one new feature to the show: As reported by Entertainment Weekly's Web site last week, the program will film half of the episodes in Los Angeles to accommodate host Heidi Klum's schedule and family commitments. The show's presence in Los Angeles will bring more Hollywood-focused challenges, but the finale will still be taped in New York around fashion week in February.

On "the one night of the year when magazine editors resemble the people who play them on TV," as Cindi Leive, Glamour editor in chief and outgoing president of the American Society of Magazine Editors, put it from the stage, not everyone was as edited as they are in their pages. Outside Rose Hall in Jazz at Lincoln Center Thursday night, Wired's new publisher, Chris Mitchell, stood beside editor in chief Chris Anderson. Both Chrises joked about their passing physical resemblance (both are tall with shaved heads) and the possibility of switching places. "Can I get the speaker's fees?" joked Mitchell. "Can I get the commissions?" countered Anderson. On stage, Padma Lakshmi cooed about fiction's effects on one's loins, an apparent and uncomfortable reference to her ex-husband, Salman Rushdie. (Meanwhile, the women in the room couldn't stop talking about David Willey, newly elected ASME president and Runner's World editor in chief, whose good looks had some normally very composed female editors and magazine staffers giggling like teenagers.)

Not long ago, when a magazine paid a celebrity more than a person might earn in a lifetime in return for a set of pictures, media critics questioned the ethics of both the publication and the star. That is so pass?. Writing an enormous check for a celebrity photo spread and interview has become pretty routine for People magazine and OK! weekly. So the better question now is, is it worth it? Can a few snapshots of a baby or a bride, accompanied by a fawning article, really be worth millions of dollars? MORE ONLINE

Sports Illustrated Group has reached an agreement with Citizen Sports Inc. to develop and promote sports-related Web content, including a fantasy-football game that will be played on the Facebook Inc. Web site. The move is, in part, an admission by the iconic sports brand, owned by the Time Inc. division of Time Warner Inc., that it needs to do more than draw traffic to its own Web site. It also needs to take its products to a site people already visit. As part of the agreement, closely held Citizen Sports, of San Francisco, will develop the software for the fantasy game. The Sports Illustrated sales force will sell advertising to accompany the game, and the magazine will make articles by its writers available to players. The game is expected to launch in July.

Having chopped its massive rate base by 20 percent to 8 million and started selling ads on the back cover, Reader's Digest enters the next phase of dusting off its image. The veteran print brand had updated its logo, fonts and column names with the January issue, when Jackie Leo was still editor. She was replaced after the parent company went private last year under CEO Mary Berner's leadership. The pocket-sized magazine is still full of trademark uplifting stories. With the June issue, Peggy Northrop, who replaced Leo in November, is imparting more service and a global feel to the title that once bore the tagline "America in Your Pocket" (the new tagline is "Life Well Shared"). The idea is to drive home the attributes like heroes, community and inspiration that are core to the title's DNA but that haven't been strongly communicated to advertisers, executives said. "While being current, I want to get that word 'inspiring' on the cover with every single issue," said Northrop, who is credited with making Meredith Corp.'s More a big hit with over-40 women.

Hearst Magazines' Seventeen has joined with Internet radio startup Jango to launch a series of co-branded music widgets on Seventeen.com, enabling users to listen to celebrities' favorite music and put those widgets on their own sites. Jango lets users create personalized online radio stations based on their favorite artists. The site also features a social-networking element, enabling users to find like-minded music fans and share their favorite stations. Starting May 5, Seventeen.com will offer Jango-produced Celebrity DJ Jukeboxes, featuring summer music favorites of stars including Ashlee Simpson, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, Rihanna and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. Aside from listening to stars' favorite songs (among them, Michael Jackson's "Scream," a recommendation of Simpson's), fans can grab their favorite jukeboxes and post them on their MySpace.com and Facebook.com pages, as well as on RSS readers like iGoogle.

Could there be a more fitting crowd with which to discuss Miley Cyrus's Vanity Fair picture than those who attended American Society of Magazine Editors' awards ceremony last night? We hit up the biggest honchos in the room to get their opinions on the brouhaha, and guess what they had to say? Former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown: "I just thought, 'There Annie [Liebovitz] goes again! Driving up sales!'" she said. "I saw her here tonight and I congratulated her. I said, 'Great job. Now just put one of those out every quarter.' It's terrific for newsstand and it gets Si [Newhouse] off your back." Elle editor Robbie Myers: "She's a million dollar industry. She sells out crowds all over the world. She's a huge international star. She has blue jeans on and a sheet. Really? There was never a point when Vanity Fair wasn't fine with those photos. We know they were fine with it because they published it." MORE ONLINE
