Well, it's been a few days since we last heard from Men's Fitness EIC/Jann Wenner's makeout buddy, Neal Boulton, so we figured it was time for the obligatory update. Fortunately, veteran drinker media columnist Keith Kelley has one in today's NYP! And according to Kelly, the still-recovering Boulton has been (temporarily!) replaced by former Savoy head honcho Roy Johnson.
As for Boulton himself, when last we saw him, he was lying in a hospital bed, being visited* by publishing maven/alleged canoodler Jann Wenner, and joking about his marriage being over (hilarious!) Now Kelly reports that he's checked out of St. Vincent's, and is currently recuperating from surgery at home, where he is—presumably—being attended by his loving wife, with whom he has had sexual relations at least twice, as evidenced by his progeny.
And while no new details have surfaced regarding Boulton's relationship (or lack thereof) with Wenner, the gossips are reporting that Jann and longtime partner Matt Nye were all smiles at the Tribeca Film Festival, in a (calculated) move that has optimists reassured that the couple is going wrong.
And skeptics waving dismissively, and barking, "He-llo! Publicity stunt!"
* Or so we thought!

Since when is surgery needed for bad sushi?
Hey Jossip, You need to get a better life. This is such bullshit that means nothing. Absolutely nothing to anyone. It's so trivial and such shit to report on, I am beginning to feel sorry for you. Trust me feeling sorry for you won't last as long as your 7 seconds out here. I don't have to be over you, I never was on you. You are so inaccurate all the time. Major media outlets constantly talk about you having no credibility and not reading you. You are wrong here again. Your sources are pathetic too. That is why they settle on you. They can't call a Page Six.
Uh, Richard? YOU WORK FOR AMERICAN MEDIA INC! you're they're chief communications guy. you think anyone is going to believe the bullshit you're spewing anymore than the stuff you think jossip isn't right about? for such a pr mastermind, you'd be wise not to sign these comments with your real name.
and who are these "major media outlets" talking about jossip's credibility … when star has none to speak of!
bravo, richard. now go collect your ami check.
Guess you pissed Wenner off. : )
or Boulton.
For what it's worth, I believe the story.
