******* Recovering anorexic and NYU dropout Mary-Kate Olsen is finally dishing to the glossies after rehab and a long silence. Lowdown hears that the 19-year-old brunette Olsen twin will grace the January cover of W Magazine and share her insights on fashion and film in an accompanying interview. Acclaimed photographer David Sims shot MK on Monday night at Milk Studios for the spread. Olsen's PR rep, Michael Pagnotta, explained: "Ashley did a solo cover for Harper's Bazaar last summer, and this was an opportunity for Mary-Kate to do her own. She's feeling great and wanted to do something beautiful. It was her decision."

Consumer magazine advertising revenue for the month of October increased 3.5 percent compared to October of last year, according to Publishers Information Bureau figures released today. However, ad pages, often looked to as the more telling metric, dipped 2.1 percent. Overall, PIB revenue is up 7.2 percent through the first 10 months of the year, while ad pages (up 0.3 percent) are running close to last year??™s figures. Among individual titles of note, In Touch Weekly is up over 41 percent in ad pages (534.67) and nearly 200 percent in PIB revenue, while Martha Stewart Living, which some feel was once left for dead by the advertising community in the wake of its namesake??™s legal woes, continues a remarkable ad page comeback, up 17.8 percent through October. A pair of Time Inc. titles have had less than stellar performances thus far, with Sports Illustrated dipping 18.3 percent in ad pages and 14.7 percent in PIB revenue and Time off 16.1 percent and 11.6 percent in ad pages and PIB revenue, respectively, through October. Despite the shots fired this week across the newspaper industry and its fleeting readership, PIB-tracked newspaper magazines are largely performing. Of the six national newspaper magazines reporting ratecard figures, only Los Angeles Times Magazine is showing a decline in ad pages (down 6.6 percent); New York Times Magazine is up 8.6 percent in ad pages, 21.7 percent in revenue (to $294.4 million) through the first 10 months of 2005. Technology Review, the MIT journal that officially relaunched earlier this month with its Web site as the primary focus, is off roughly 25 percent in ad pages and 28 percent in revenue through October.

When the Complete New Yorker hit bookstores in September, many loyal readers rushed to buy it. The set of eight DVD-ROMs priced at $100 contains every issue of the literary magazine, starting with the first one published in 1925. "It's a great way just to, in an instant, pull up whatever I'm looking for," says Dan Rivas, a salesman at Politics and Prose, a Washington bookstore, who bought the set and installed the first disk on his computer. But Mr. Rivas and other Web-savvy users accustomed to navigating easily through online content find The Complete New Yorker a bit of an anachronism. Each page of content is literally a picture of a magazine page. Readers can't copy text from a story and paste it elsewhere. They can't search for keywords within the text of articles, only within titles and abstracts. If they want to jump from issue to issue, or article to article, they first have to go back to the index and sometimes change DVDs. "It feels a little bit cumbersome," Mr. Rivas says. MORE ONLINE
