On top of its Nina Garcia drama, Elle is now getting melodramatic calls from inside the house. It seems the reality show Robbie Myers and Joe Zee fought so hard for, Fashionista, is causing the staff to revolt. "The contestants, who are being put through various cockamamie challenges, are just getting under the feet of people who are actually trying to run the magazine. 'It's a nightmare,' one insider complained. 'And his real assistant hates it. No one believes they're actually going to hire the person who wins the reality show.'"

SO NOT TRUE! When Seventeen magazine aired MTV's Miss Seventeen in 2005, they totally hired winner Jennifer Steele. As an intern. (Then again, show quitter Brianne Burrowes also scored a minion gig.)
