The 1,000 anniversary issue of Rolling Stone is set to be revealed this May. Yet, it seems that Jann Wenner is more psyched by the party being thrown for the occasion (we're sure our invite is in the mail) than the issue itself.
He's trying to get The Strokes and Tom Petty to play at the May 4 party at Hammerstein Ballroom (not outside at Rockefeller as previously planned) and, of course, his planning is making everyone bananas.
"Wenner is driving everyone crazy," said one insider. "He keeps changing his mind."
Supposedly the reason behind Steve DeLuca's recent exit (not to mention the romp with an intern), this indecision is also pushing sponsors out the door.
And right on the heels of DeLuca and L'Oreal, Jann is next to go … well, only on a two-week trip to Bhutan, which means these May details need to be ironed out by Monday. RS staffers will then have two weeks free of desk inspections, party planning, and baby proofing.
We suggest resting up — plans for baby Wenner's first birthday begin next month.
