******* ******* ***************** Want your summer internship to end with a great letter of recommendation—or even a job? Then come to this panel, man. Ed's convinced some of his high-level friends to give you the inside secrets on what they want—and DON'T want—from their interns. (Panelists include editors from Glamour, Popular Science, CosmoGIRL!, Maxim and Parenting.) You must RSVP and pay in advance. Details: When: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday, June 14th To sign up: RSVP to ed@ed2010.com is REQUIRED. Please include in your email where you will be interning—you must be at least a part-time summer intern at a magazine. You'll get an email back with the PayPal URL.
******* How gay is the new editor of Out? Not gay enough to avoid being mistaken for a heterosexual. When Aaron Hicklin, formerly editor in chief of Black Book, took the job back in April, the move was greeted enthusiastically by Andrew Sullivan, a gay columnist and blogger, who declared, "I think it's great that a straight guy is now heading up a gay magazine." Sullivan quickly corrected himself, noting: "His orientation did not seem to be a factor in his being hired." (Indeed, as WWD reported, Andrew Essex, who is straight, also was approached about the job.) But Out's advertisers nevertheless required assurances that the magazine was not about to forsake its gay readership. It's not — but the incident was prophetic, in a way. While Hicklin won't be altering Out's sexual identity, he does plan to make it, like his own, a bit harder to pin down. "My buzzword has been, 'Let's be [David] Bowie gay rather than Cher gay,'" he said this week, at the end of his first month on the job. Just as Bowie recorded concept albums, Out, said Hicklin, will publish more themed issues in hopes of stimulating the creativity of its writers and photographers. Hicklin's first full issue as editor, September, will have a back-to-school motif, complete with a fashion shoot inspired by "Lord of the Flies." "The fashion is where you can get all the pictures of cute, sexy boys you want, but shot in a way that's radical and thoughtful," he said.

The cuts continue at slumping American Media. Star magazine chopped five people yesterday - including the fashion editor and a one-time assistant to the company's high-octane Editorial Director, Bonnie Fuller. Angela Jones, fashion editor was among those pink slipped, as was reporter Kelly Will, who had begun her career as the personal assistant to Fuller. Another reporter, a person from the art department and a production staffer were also shown the door. A spokesman denied that there was any change in the fashion coverage. While most of Star's staff remains based in New York, he said, there will be "a focus on adding more coverage from Los Angeles." MORE ONLINE

Star magazine Editor-in-Chief Joe Dolce was so glad to see his executive editor Mark Coleman go to Life & Style, he sent its top editor, Debra Birnbaum, a huge bouquet of flowers - or did he? On Monday, Birnbaum received a bouquet with a note that read, "Thank you for hiring my biggest problem." Dolce is known to hate Coleman, who was blamed for Star's biggest errors in the year and a half he worked there, including a report that Jennifer Aniston was pregnant with Brad Pitt's kid the week they split, and another blaring, "Jessica [Simpson] Finally Pregnant! Is this her gift to Nick [Lachey] to save their marriage?" the week they, too, announced their split. But Star insiders said it wasn't Dolce who sent the flowers. "Joe was happy to take credit for it, but it was someone else," our insider said. "Probably someone evil on Joe's staff, or a Life & Style staffer, because he had worked there before and was not well-liked." Dolce declined to comment. Birnbaum laughed, "Yes, it's true. So in return, I sent him a copy of 'The Editor-in-Chief: A Management Guide for Magazine Editors' with a note that said, 'Thanks for the flowers.'” MORE ONLINE
