Nina Garcia, currently appearing on Project Runway's fifth season as Elle's "editor-at-large," is, as you already know, totally done with Robbie Myers' mag and has not-so-quietly moved on to Marie Claire. And though she doesn't officially start there until Sept. 2, she's already moved into her office — perhaps because the one Elle was keeping for her is lined with glass shards. (Marie Claire denies she's started working there, citing Garcia's contract with Elle; they insist she's only been in the office to coordinate fashion show travel.)

And while Garcia is definitely a commodity worth grabbing for Marie Claire — which is expected to scoop up Project Runway when it moves to Lifetime — it turns out the relationship might not be a match made in couture heaven.

Hockey player Sean Avery, who made a name for himself by personally pleading with Anna Wintour for a Vogue internship, and then taking his shirt of in Men's Vogue to write about it, looks like he might be trading teams. Yes, he'll still be inventing rules for the New York Rangers, but what's this about his schmoozing up to Marie Claire?

As you might have suspected would happen, Life & Style's report that Jennifer Aniston refused to shoot a Marie Claire cover with all four of her co-stars is being shot down by her publicist Stephen Huvane.

The tabloid's report fingered unexplained bad blood between Aniston and He’s Just not That Into You co-star Jennifer Conelly as the reason why Aniston refused to do the magazine cover if Connelly was on there too (though Aniston was supposedly fine with shooting alongside Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin, who are also in the film, but only if she was front and center).

Immediately, Huvane was playing defense, insisting the reports are "absolutely absurd" and that "there is no drama whatsoever."

Who to believe?

Dating John Mayer has earned Jennifer Aniston the superlative "cougar," not the emotion "empathy" she was so used to after her split from Brad Pitt. And while Aniston hasn't exactly done anything to deserve the growing ire of American women who used to so identify with her, she hasn't done much to keep it. And that's a celebrity actor's job when they're not filming!

And then, when they're done filming, it's also the celebrity actor's job to keep quiet any reason America might have to hate her, so as not to re-open the scab. Too bad Aniston failed on even that front.

Harvey Weinstein's brilliant, and inevitable, business model for Project Runway now includes a new cash infusion: dollars from the magazine. When he was first shopping the show around in the early 200s, most magazines passed on the opportunity to be attached, and Elle was the only taker. It's been a brand boon for the Hachette fashion book, but after the fifth season, they're gonna lose it. And whoever wants the opportunity to work with Runway, now on Lifetime, will have to pay for the privilege. Seven figures, anyone?

Follow us on this one, would ya?

Joanna Coles edits a magazine called Marie Claire.

Coles put a one Tina Fey, star of NBC's 30 Rock, on the cover of her May issue.

Fey starred in the movie Baby Mama, which is what the May cover was promoting.

Scenes from Baby Mama were filmed outside the building at 210 Riverside Drive, at 93rd Street.

Coles lives at 210 Riverside Drive. (Before you get huffy about us violating her privacy, her home address is already available to anyone, thanks to election donation records.)

An $649,000 apartment listing from Halstead for a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom co-op at 210 Riverside Drive (Apartment #5D) happens to mention that the building "served as the backdrop for You've Got Mail, Baby Mama, and other recent films."

The realtor attached to the listing, Halstead's Victoria Matus, is also said to be Coles own real estate broker. (Hearst spokeswoman Jessica Pollack says "Joanna has no relationship and has never used Victoria Matus as her broker.")

A coincidental confluence of events? Or a carefully executed marketing ploy where everybody benefits?

Earlier today we brought you news that Nina Garcia had signed an editor-at-large contract with Elle that would keep her there through Sept 1, just long enough to shoot the fifth (and Bravo's final) season of Project Runway. Interesting that the announcement came with an expiration date, we noted.

And here's why: We were just told Nina is heading to Marie Claire as fashion director, effective .. Sept. 2.

Well so much for Fashion Week Daily's "exclusive" news that Nina Garcia was heading to Hearst's Marie Claire after her dust-up at Elle. News just arrived that she's signed a deal to stay on at Elle, as editor-at-large, through Sept. 1, 2008.

And how many job announcements do you see that come with an expected termination date?

Right, just this one, because it means Garcia gets to stick around for the fifth season of Project Runway while Elle's Robbie Myers figures out how to hang on to the TV show, now that Cosmopolitan, Glamour, In Style, Harper's Bazaar, as well as Marie Claire, are all said to be vying for a deal.

Putting to rest any notion that Nina Garcia would take Elle's Robbie Myers up on her offer to stay on in some fashion, the Project Runway judge is heading to Marie Claire, as was rumored. [FWD] She'll officially join the staff in September, as fashion director, replacing Tracy Taylor, who left. Sadly, there's no update about whether Runway will hop beds from Hearst to Hachette Hachette to Hearst, but Harvey Weinstein is said to love Garcia, so if keeping her on the show means switching to MC, perhaps he'll do it.

"A spokesman for The Weinstein Co., which produces the show, said the reports were inaccurate. Contract negotiations between "Project Runway" and its primary judges — Michael Kors and Garcia — are still continuing, and according to sources close to the show, negotiations for sponsorships and magazine partners for season six have yet to begin. Garcia is also still negotiating the terms — or the severing — of her relationship with Hachette Filipacchi Media, Elle's parent company." [WWD] And this concludes the explanation for why the future of Nina, Elle, and Project Runway is dragging on longer than the sale of a daily newspaper. (NB: Poo on Women's Wear for calling The CW's Gossip Girl "Gossip Girls.")

Marie Claire's Joanna Coles is said to be leveraging Elle's up-in-the-air status as a Project Runway partner to scoot her own magazine in the door as the heading-to-Lifetime show's magazine brand.

In other semi-PR related news, Ugly Betty, the ABC sitcom that's been serving as a dumping ground for Runway personalities Christina Siriano, Nina Garcia, and Elle's own Robbie Myers and Joe Zee, will see Lindsay Lohan grace the set. She began shooting her cameo on Saturday for the same episode Elle v. Mode softball game that had Naomi Campbell at bat. "Lindsay arrived on set 45 minutes early," a source told Us, which totally means she's on the wagon again.

How do you get four feuding co-stars to appear in the same magazine when they don't even want to be in the same room with each other? Shoot four different covers!

That's the nefarious raison d'etre we're drawing for why Marie Claire chose to put each of the Sex and the City ladies, seen here pretending to get along, on their own cover for the magazine's July issue, which coincides with the movie's release. Life & Style says the ladies were all part of the same April 9 photoshoot, but only Sarah Jessica Parker's cover will be on newsstands — Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, and Kristin Davis' covers will be sent only to subscribers.

Which means even if you do subscribe to Marie Claire, you'll only be able to score one cover in your mailbox and the SJP edition on the newsstand, so expect a BOOMING black market on eBay!

Christina Aguilera pulls a Demi Moore in the January issue of Marie Claire. Now that she's what feels like 15 months pregnant, she admits to being with child and says that the thing growing in her uterus was an accident:

We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so I had gone off the pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take … You've heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here. … I'm like, 'Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?'

We can believe the rhythm method failed you, but we can't believe we how much we know about your birth control methods.

• Laura Bush and her daughter, Jenna to write a children's book; President George W. Bush to have trouble reading it.

• It's a sad day for Marie Claire.

• Feds are fighting uphill battle to deny you of your daily internet porn supplement.

• Take my Rodale, please!

• From the LA Times: "When the shrinkage of print editions is accompanied by shrinking coverage of world news, the world around us gets smaller and smaller until it contains little more than local scandals and the latest celebrity gossip." Not that there's anything wrong with that.

• Watch out, cable news. You know you're in trouble when even the internet geeks think you're "uncool."
