Media Minutiae (in case we want to have a miscellany later)

Elle Magazine has their brand-new spinoff mag, Elle Accessories, all done - except for the masthead. Apparently fashion director Nina Garcia and editor Kelly Killoren Bensimon have locked horns over credit: Garcia wants equal billing wih Killoren based on all the work she did, according to the NYDN's Lowdown. Reports indicate tha Garcia did almost all of the work; but Killoren has a good chance to take the deciding vote because her husband's the boss (the publications director at Elle - the magazine's top executive). Kind of unfair to Killoren to cast such aspersions on her right to the title (implied nepotism always sticks) but then again, it doesn't sound like Garcia is willing to toe any sort of party line on this. Tune in to see which one gets to wear the pretty pink heels above.

Harper's Bazaar market director Amanda Ross is leaving the lofty, coveted post and a few contenders have emerged, according to The Daily. Any one of Bergdorf women's fashion director Roopal Patel, Vogue senior market editor Meredith Melling Burke, Cosmopolitan fashion director Karen Haynes and former Christian Dior VP-communications Alixe Boyer. No matter which one of them gets the job, they're all more glamorous than you.

As it turns out, Fox beat CNN in hurricane coverage. I know, we were shocked too. We flipped back and forth a few times, there was no contest. Even without Anderson Cooper. Meanwhile, MSNBC.com consistently beats CNN.com. Maybe if Anderson Cooper wore those shoes...

One of the amazing things about this whole blogosphere-new media thing is how quickly one can connect with cool people, or bring their stories to an audience of other cool people. Boing Boing describes "the odd kinships that evolve with people on the other side of the internet;" considering that's how we came to know Greg Gutfeld, we will concede that, yes, odd applies. Sometimes those stories are sad, and bring your attention to those people too late. But, I guess it's never too late if you get a chance to learn a little something from it. Maudlin, I know, but eminently appropriate with respect to this item from Boing Boing and this one from Oddjack.
