It's okay for homosexual Aaron Hicklin to run Out, because Out is a homosexual magazine. It's okay for homosexual Jim Nelson to run GQ, because GQ's fashion, style, and culture sensibility are something homosexuals know all about. But is homosexual Ariel Foxman right to run Time Inc.'s In Style, the magazine for fashionable women? Too bad — you don't get to decide, because Foxman (the former editor of men's shopping failure Cargo) was just named editor of the thing, with current editor Charla Lawhon moving upstairs to an umbrella position. It could be argued that Foxman is not right for the job, because men just simply don't understand the lady style leanings of a book like In Style. But it could be argued Foxman is perfect for the job, because he is a homosexual, and homosexuals know what women want. Also, he likes shopping, or at least magazines that encourage it. Either way, this is good news for Joe Zee, the homosexual and creative director at Elle, a magazine he might one day use Foxman's In Style editorship as leverage to take over. You know, when Robbie Myers is done with the thing.
Did you see the morning media blitz today? If not, you're in for a half-boring, half-exciting treat! You see, both the New York Post and WWD had stories on In Style's former accessories editor, Alice Kim.
Except Memo Pad's item was super dull (OMG, Kim's being replaced by the accessories editor from W!) whereas Page Six had the real dirt (Kim, who may be a sneaky clothes thief, is reportedly hitting it with Sandra Oh's ex-hubby).
Which is kind of like apples and oranges, except when one of the fruits is much, much better than the other one.
• Bancroft family to have private meeting re: Dow Jones; Rupert Murdoch to stand outside the boardroom with a water glass pressed against the door.
• Stone Phillips is out at NBC News. Related: Dateline's ratings decline, viewers tuning in to watch The Surreal Life and infomercials for ProActiv instead.
• On the plus side, however, Phillips and his wife have finally unloaded that overpriced penthouse triplex!
• CBS says it led television ratings for fifth year; ABC, NBC respectfully disagree.
• The 1/2 Hour News Hour was the top-rated show on Sunday night, proving once again that Republicans have no sense of humor.
• The accessories director at In Style is quitting her job to open a chintzy trinkets store in Omaha, Nebraska.
Just as we start making ourselves giddy over last pairing of current Us Weekly online editor Noelle Hancock and former Us "TV face" Katrina Szish having a merry reunion on last night's Red Eye, word arrives that Katrina has landed at the competition. WWD reports that Katrina has signed on with Time Inc.'s In Style.
No word yet whether her contract will allow her to talk, email with anybody at Harper's Bazaar.
Sarah Silverman did more than produce a hilarious "Lance Bass is gay?" skit at last night MTV Video Music Awards. She also told us what InStyle magazine – not listed among the best fashion advice books – is best for.
Throughout their relationship, Brad Pitt would tell everyone who could concentrate in his presence, that he wanted Jennifer Aniston to pop out a trillion little rugrats. And since BP was the hottest guy ever (until Donnie Darko hit Blockbuster, of course) we were perplexed as to why Jen wasn't spawning off children faster than Kelly Ripa.
We couldn't help but wonder if maybe Jen couldn't have kids? After all, two colon cleansings a week can do that to a gal. Yet, the topless, bonfire blazing, woman of the year insists that 2006 will be the year of her birthing. She also promises to tell us when it happens (not like we'll even care anymore at that point. Hello, Angelina Jolie is totally going off the pill).
The former 'Friends' star said: "You know what? If all these pregnancy rumours were true, I should have had 10 babies by now, married five times. I swear when it happens, you'll hear it."
But the beautiful star, who vehemently denied rumours her marriage to Brad Pitt ended because she didn't want children, added to America's InStyle magazine: "I hope to be on the road to having a family in the next year. Ideally, I'd like to have a couple of children, but who knows? That's part of the unknown that I like."
Well, Jen, is a good thing you didn't have ten thousand of Brad's babies. Now we're sorry we ever pressured you to reproduce. How were were supposed to know he would have left you alone with all those baby Branistons K-Fed style?
