Congrats again to all the winners and everyone else for celebrating the start to a great summer. Check back to Ed2010.com soon for photos and more details about the smashing bash! ******* ******* Psst! If there's a random wacky ad at the top of this newsletter, know that it's not Ed's. It's just what you have to put up with for a free newsletter service..
******* Hachette Filipacchi Media, publisher of Elle, Car & Driver and 12 other titles, just announced that Jack Kliger is stepping down as CEO, effective Sept. 1, to become chairman. Replacing him as the chief executive will be Alain Lemarchand, currently directeur g?n?ral D?l?gu? of Lagard?re Active. (Lagard?re is Hachette's Paris-based parent company.) Kliger took over Hachette in June 1999, and immediately faced a crisis when John F. Kennedy Jr., founder and editor of George magazine, died in a plane crash. Kliger ended up shutting down George, and has pulled the plug on a slew of other titles including Premiere, Mirabella, ElleGirl and Shock. Nevertheless, he received a lifetime achievement award from the Magazine Publishers of America in January. In his new role, Kliger will focus on "developing strategic relationships" for Hachette. Here's the message he sent to employees today. MORE ONLINE
2. WWD
Vogue has a new design director. The magazine on Tuesday tapped Danko Steiner, its current art director, to move up the masthead and replace longtime design director Charles Churchward, who resigned from his post after 13 years to pursue personal projects. Steiner has been with Vogue since 2005, joining the magazine from Harper's Bazaar, where he was design director for four years. Steiner was also a designer at Visionaire. The transition will happen in July, after the close of the September issue. "Working with Charlie, when you're around people like that you don't realize what you learn along the way," Steiner said of Churchward. "I really admire his dedication to the magazine and the overall vision that he tried to maintain." A search for Steiner's replacement is under way. A NEW ENTERTAINMENT: Lisa Berman has been photography director at Portfolio since fall 2005 (well before any issues appeared in spring 2007), but, after 16 years at Cond? Nast, she's heading to Time Inc.'s Entertainment Weekly to oversee photography for the magazine's impending redesign. "I'm really proud of the launch of the magazine, but felt it was time for me to make a change," she told WWD, though she declined to give further details on what was in store at EW. That magazine's latest look, which is being led by new design director Brian Anstey, will appear in July. A spokeswoman for Portfolio said the magazine was interviewing candidates for the top photo job. COSMOPOLITAN IS MORE THAN JUST A WORD: Is Cosmopolitan magazine the inspiration for a new hotel, casino and beach club being built in Las Vegas? Hearst Communications Inc. thinks so — and it filed a complaint on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Cosmo Senior Borrower LLC as well as 3700 Associates LLC, the resort's owner and developer. The Hearst suit alleges the defendants are seeking to trade off of the publisher's "famous, long-established family of marks...and [the defendant] has stated its intention to use those marks in connection with goods and services that are the same as or related to the goods and services to which the public associates the marks with [Hearst Communications Inc.]." BEST NOT TO ANSWER AT ALL: David Granger shows off his sensitive side in the July issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. The editor in chief of Esquire magazine, also owned by Hearst, was given the unenviable task of answering the question, "What do you like most about us [women]?" as part of O's feature asking eight male writers "Men! What Are You Thinking?" Granger's response will no doubt score some brownie points with the opposite sex: "We love it when you sit down on the side of the bed and kiss us for no reason," he writes. "We can't get over that. We love it when you ask us for advice on something that really matters to you. We love the way you smell right after you finish exercising. We love the way you look just before you wake up in the morning. We love it when you argue with us about something — movies, sports, politics — that really doesn't matter. We love the way you will fill a silence at a dinner party and we love the way you give us guidance when it comes to our mothers. We love the way you look when you're half-dressed or half-undressed.

3. New York Post
TALKING head Julia Allison has lost her editor-at-large gig at Star magazine. Allison, 27, is a prolific blogger, a relationship columnist for Time Out New York and a frequent guest on everything from "Access Hollywood" to "Red Eye w/Greg Gutfeld," on Fox News Channel, which like The Post, is owned by News Corp. She was snagging an estimated $125,000 a year at Star. Her shameless self-promotion was chronicled by gawker.com, which seemed to have a love-hate relationship with her, recently taking her to task for telling a German newspaper that she is an updated version of the "Sex and the City" main character.
