Last Chance to Use 'That's So Jane' Puns?
Jane magazine is closing down, if our inbox stuffers are to be believed. We're told EIC Brandon Holley was among those who "only just found out" that Conde Nast was shutting things down. At least we'll always have Glamour's dating advice column.
Update: We're told there's "some talk" about continuing the magazine as an online operation, but we all know how that sort of thing goes.
Update 2: "Or not," says a Jane insider, about things continuing online.
Update 3: Radar says the staff learned this morning. Gawker says the ad folks just found out, and everyone has to be out today.

Despite her departure from the rag, I think this will be a sad farewell for Pratt. Losing anything in your namesake, especially something so iconic, has got to be depressing. Sure, the magazine lost it's zest right around the time Pratt started talking about a boyfriend a lot and more so about making babies but it was hers and it was a great triumph at some point.
I could go on and on. It will be missed, even though Brandon sucked and Jeff Johnson and the 'that's so jane' sucked even harder.
Jeff Johnson's departure… I'm braindead. I always found him entertaining.
