Cate Blanchett's posturing isn't the only thing inside this month's W. There's also a chat with NBC's new-ish programming chief Ben Silverman, wherein he responds to rumors that he was responsible for leaking his new appointment.

“Oh, God no. It ruined my weekend.” He was spending the holiday at the Montage, a resort in Laguna Beach that was crowded with Hollywood types. “People were all over me, shooting me e-mails, circling me. I literally had to go in my room and pace on the phone the entire time.” The email leak, Silverman gripes, foiled his publicity plan. “I wanted to be the cover of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal,” he says with characteristic immodesty. And, he adds, he would have liked to be the one to break the news to Reilly. “I love Kevin and wanted to, at the right moment, tell him about it firsthand.”

Instead, Reilly had to learn about his ouster from the blogs. You know, because he wouldn't believe the emails.
