******* Two of the more persistent brands of adolescence- Seventeen magazine and MTV - will hook up this spring, collaborating on a reality show that tracks the magazine's search for what it calls America's Sweetheart. The 10-part series, called Project Seventeen, will be broadcast on MTV next fall. Atoosa Rubenstein, editor in chief of Seventeen and an executive producer on the series, said that the annual competition looks for "the good girl, the one with good grades who is logging in the hours studying, who is well rounded and has integrity," adding, "the one who does all the community service." In an era when Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie represent one popular version of reality on television, filming a gaggle of prospective Sweethearts sounds a bit tame, but Ms. Rubenstein said that there was always drama to be had when girls were competing for something.

If the prelude is any indication, the war over Washington's beautiful people could get ugly. Three luxury lifestyle bibles are preparing to publish here, seeking readers in high-net-worth households, and already there's a certain frisson in the air. Dana Spain-Smith began feeling it eight months ago. MORE ONLINE

Spirits were high in the offices of The National Enquirer in Manhattan last week. A gaggle of British interlopers had taken custody of the tabloid, a SWAT team of Fleet Street meat-eaters brought in to revive the storied but now flagging checkout magazine. Not only was The Enquirer moving its main offices and production facilities to Manhattan from Florida - effectively taking the gossip magazine uptown and mainstream - but even more deliciously the paper also had a cover article suggesting that a Hollywood actor's Super Bowl celebration was a bit more super than most. Paul Field, the Enquirer's editor and a former associate editor of The Sun, a popular British tabloid, was in particularly fine fettle, even though he was fighting a cold. A stripper and prostitute had told The Enquirer that she spent Super Bowl Sunday last month in the company of the star of a popular television show. The actor, through a representative, has denied the allegations. The Enquirer saved the naughtiest bit from the stripper's account - allegations of drug use - for the issue coming out today, the last one produced in Boca Raton, Fla. In holding off, the editors took a tactical risk that they would not be scooped. "No, I'm not concerned," Mr. Field said, sitting at a table in his office. "No other publication would touch that story," he said, unlike in Britain, where "there would be other papers all over it." MORE ONLINE

That's what folks at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals were asking yesterday after the fur-loving actress, singer and fashion mogul - using the clout of her publicist and record label - apparently got Billboard magazine to kill PETA's full-page anti-J.Lo ad. The graphic ad - initially accepted by Billboard to run in yesterday's edition, PETA says - features a grisly photo of a skinned animal over an open letter to Lopez, whose new Sweetface clothing line is replete with real fur. The letter slaps Lopez for ignoring "our repeated appeals to you, calling attention to the fact that rabbits, minks, foxes and chinchillas are gassed, strangled, beaten, electrocuted, trapped and drowned to pack your closet and your clothing line full of fur."

NY Post
Makeovers are in at this time of year, so we're pulling back the covers of the ever-growing titles in the hot healthy-living segment to see what's new. Prevention magazine offers a special issue on getting out and walking to lose weight and de-stress. From the best walking cities in the country (New York is No. 6), advice from pros who make their living hoofing it and a list of the most comfortable working shoes, the issue has it all. It also dishes up healthy meals and great news about coffee: it's good for you! No wonder more than 3 million people a month subscribe to the title, and that come-lately books, like Real Simple, are copying this successful recipe. From the makers of Martha Stewart Living comes the newly redesigned Body & Soul, a slickly-produced how-to guide to holistic health. At first, the mag seems a bit "crunchy" (e.g., granola, yoga and hiking for days without a shower), with plenty of talk about home health remedies and the power of medi- tation. But it strives to achieve a balance by offering cooking and decorating tips, as well as stories on coping with clutter and getting a good night's sleep. Think Martha if she lived in a commune ??” albeit one with nice sheets, a great chef and a full-service spa. MORE ONLINE
