The world of celebrity editors got a little smaller yesterday when Jane Pratt, the editor in chief of Jane, said she is resigning as of Sept. 30 from the magazine she founded at Fairchild Publications.

She's often had a far closer bond with readers than many other editors have had. In the May issue, she asked readers what hairstyle and color she should have.

Pratt, who has been at the helm of the monthly magazine for eight years, has always been known as an editor who blazed new ground with straightfoward discussions on sex, careers and celebrities. Her latest issue is the magazine's first All Naked issue.

Bauer Publishing's Life & Style announced it will raise its rate base to 500,000 from 350,000 effective Sept. 1, a 43 percent increase.

TV Guide is slashing the circulation it guarantees advertisers by about two-thirds and relaunching itself as a large format magazine with far fewer TV listings and more emphasis on lifestyle and entertainment, the magazine announced Tuesday.

The radical changes to TV Guide come as it struggles to remain relevant in an age where many TV viewers get their listings from on-screen guides provided by their cable companies or online.

TV Guide also said it would cut jobs as part of the revamp, but it declined say how many.

One investigator told the Daily News that after argument erupted between the two suspects, an aspiring rapper, his cousin and a busboy, over whether they were going to play a particular hip hop album, the altercation moved outside the bar where witnesses heard four shots fired.
