******* Two days before he was sworn into office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger accepted a consulting job paying an estimated $8 million over five years to "further the business objectives" of a national publisher of health and bodybuilding magazines.: The contract pays Schwarzenegger 1% of the magazines' advertising revenue, much of which comes from makers of nutritional supplements. Last year, the governor vetoed legislation that would have imposed government regulations on the supplement industry.. According to records filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Schwarzenegger entered into the agreement with a subsidiary of American Media Inc. on Nov. 15, 2003.

While Nina is a devoted Elle staffer, it may be that recent tension between her and Elle Accessories editor Kelly Bensimon (wife of Elle top gun Gilles) would prompt her to make an abrupt career move towards Hachette's competitor, Hearst.
