Cute way of saying: They're fired

Here's what you need to know about the shake ups going on inside Conde Nast: Vanity Fair will continue to run mindless celebrity cover stories and The New Yorker will continue to not select our caption contest entries.

Fox will be replaced by Condé Nast Portfolio publisher David Carey; Golinkin will be replaced by Teen Vogue publisher Gina Sanders, who also happens to share a bed with Steve Newhouse (who should one day be running Si's empire). Meanwhile, New Yorker publisher Lou Cona is heading upstairs to run with Richard "Mad Dog" Beckman's pack, replacing Amy Churgin.

Fashionable toddlers, however, will continue to adorn the cover of Cookie. The more things change …
