When The New York Observer parodied the April cover of Vogue with a cartoon of an open-mouthed Anna Wintour bouncing a basketball as Advance Magazine chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr. hugs her, chuckles from cubicles were heard all over Midtown — including 4 Times Square. Now it appears Andr? Leon Talley will own the last laugh: Observer owner Jared Kushner bought the original artwork from the illustrator, Victor Juhasz, for the Vogue editor at large. At least seven people placed serious bids — two of which were from within Cond? Nast, including Talley and another mysterious bidder whose identity couldn't be learned. In the past, original art commissioned for the Observer has said to have been sold for anywhere between $1,000 and $10,000. According to sources close to the weekly, Juhasz's piece went for a price in the middle of that range. No word on whether the piece will hang in Talley's office at Vogue — on display for Wintour and other staffers to view — or in his Hastings home. FOR THE DEFENSE: Playboy's stock price might be down, but don't criticize its success with brand extensions. Christie Hefner, chief executive officer, defended the company's success in capitalizing on its brand in a letter in the May 19 edition of Forbes. The letter was a response to "Dangerous Curves," a piece in the April 7 issue, written by senior reporter Dirk Smillie. He writes mainly about Penthouse Media Group, but manages to make a few digs at Playboy in the process. Hefner's response? "If your writer had done a bit of homework before writing 'Dangerous Curves,' he would have seen that Playboy knows a thing or two about brand extensions." She wrote about the "Girls Next Door" on the E network and the "highly successful Playboy Club at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas..." She added Playboy's licensing group reported a 30 percent revenue increase last year and a 40 percent jump in segment income. TV TIME: Magazine vet Martha McCully is switching channels. After six years as executive editor at In Style and nine years as a top editor at Allure, McCully is signing on with Coty Prestige as on-air expert for its HSN Lancaster brand sales. First up: an appearance Thursday hawking antiaging serum 365 Elixir and a range of self-tanners and sun care products. "As a former beauty editor I tried everything," stated McCully. "I'm excited to work with Coty and HSN to make the brand a success in the U.S." In addition to her magazine gigs, McCully served as a judge on HGTV's "Design Star" series for the past three seasons.

INA Brown has turned to leg endary avant-garde design firm Number 17 to handle her new yet-to-be-named Web venture, a news-aggregation service that is being backed by her longtime friend, media mogul Barry Diller. Brown, who wrote the best-selling "The Diana Chronicles," is currently up to her eyeballs in "The Clinton Chronicles," a book about Hillary Rodham Clinton for which she received more than $1.2 million in advance from Doubleday. But while the former editor of The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and the now-defunct Talk is hitting the campaign trail quite often, she's also trying to get her next venture launched. She's interviewed about 15 people for the general manager's job and is said to be near a decision on the key post. MORE ONLINE
