Martha Stewart Living has made four editorial moves. Jessica Romm joins the magazine as Lifestyle Editor. Romm was most recently with Food & Wine. Kelly Alfieri has been tagged as the magazine’s new Digital Editorial Director. Prior to Living, she was iVillage.com’s Lifestyle Editorial Director.

Robin Sayers and  Jenny Comita have also joined the magazine. Sayers is the new Beauty & Lifestyle Director at Living and Comita is now the Deputy Editor. Sayers comes to Living from InStyle and Comita has been with Living since November, when she came aboard after departing W.

Sarah Carey is expected to be named the new Edit0r-in-Chief of Everyday Food as soon as today, according to The New York Post. Carey is the current food editor for Martha Stewart Living, and a veteran of parent Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

Unfortunately this news is coming as a surprise to Everyday Food’s current top editor, Anna Last. “I’m very happy at Everyday Food,” Last said. “As far as I’m concerned, we’re looking forward to 2012. There’s no truth to that.”

We guess today is the day we all find out how solid the Post’s sources are.

Pilar Guzman is bringing some of her old friends from Cookie with her to Martha Stewart Living. FishbowlNY just learned that she’s added Yolanda Edwards, a travel and lifestyle editor at Cookie, to Martha Stewart as an Editor-at-Large.

At Martha Stewart Edwards will work with the photo and art departments as well as create, assign and develop articles.

Min is reporting that Pilar Guzmán has been named the new Editor-in-Chief of Martha Stewart Living. Guzman was the Editor-in-Chief of Cookie when it was still around, and since then has co-founded a parenting website and co-written a cookbook.

Guzmán’s first day will be the 14th, and she will report directly to Chief Creative and Editorial Director Gael Towey.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSLO) has reached from within its ranks to fill the top slot at its flagship magazine, Martha Stewart Living.

On Friday, the company announced that Vanessa Holden, the editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Weddings, had been promoted to the same position at Living. Katie Hatch, Weddings‘ style director, will replace Holden at the bridal title. Meanwhile, Gael Towey, who was working as acting editor of Living was named editorial director at MSLO. Towey MSLO’s former chief creative officer, stepped into the role in February when Michael Boodro left the company.

Holden joined MSLO as Weddings‘ editor-in-chief in August 2008 from her own consulting business. She previously worked as creative director at Real Simple magazine and co-founded food and lifestyle magazine Donna Hay. She has also worked at the Australian versions of Marie Claire and Marie Claire Lifestyle as well as Vogue Entertaining and Travel and Vogue Living.

New Weddings editor Hatch is a former lawyer and freelancer who has worked at Living and the now-defunct MSLO title Blueprint. She was named associate style editor at Weddings in 2000.

It’s not quite the media bailout some of us were hoping for, but the State Department is asking magazines for their help with holiday decor.

Today, Nina Link of the Magazine Publishers of America stood with State Protocol Ambassador Capricia Penavic Marshall and announced that the two organizations are teaming up to create a festive re-imagining for two historical buildings in D.C.

The magazines will work with the State Department to create the “Magazine Holiday Design Showcase,” wherein each participating title gets a different section of the Harry S. Truman Building and the receiving rooms of the Blair House to showcase the historic structure’s rich and cultured history. Better Homes & Gardens will be taking over the Blair back room and house garden, while the building’s dining room will be designed by Martha Stewart Living (including “a Confectionery Tree covered in lollipop and sugar cookie ornaments” — yum).

Other participating magazines include This Old House, Mother Earth News, Natural Home and Traditional Home.

Full press release after the jump.

Elle Decor‘s getting a makeover. Michael Boodro, who stepped down as editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Living in January, will join the Hachette Filipacchi Media publication as its executive editor — a position he held in 2005. He’ll be responsible for overseeing all of the book’s editorial content.

Boodro replaces Mitchell Owens who will become editor-at-large.

“I am thrilled to welcome Michael back to Elle Decor,” Margaret Russell, editor-in-chief said in a statement. “He is an amazing talent and a trusted expert in the shelter category. His sophisticated editorial tone and extraordinary experience will be a terrific asset to the magazine.”

The full release is after the jump.

— DIANE CLEHANE

We’re still exhausted from hob nobbing with last week’s overflow of A-listers, so we were almost glad things were a bit more subdued at 55th & Fifth today. It gave us a chance to catch up and chat with some our favorite regulars. Imagine my chagrin when I stopped by Matt Blank‘s table and Showtime’s CEO told me had I switched my weekly reservation to tomorrow, I’d be chatting with some of the biggest stars of his network. On Thursday, Matt and entertainment president Bob Greenblatt are hosting their own “British invasion” at table one when the entire glorious cast of The Tudors — the dreamy Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Peter O’Toole and Natalie Dormer will be breaking bread with the network’s other stars — including Tracy Ullman, whose show State of the Union, will premiere March 30, the same night as the new season of The Tudors. Thank God, something to watch! (I’ve been completely depressed over the fast approaching season finale of HBO’s In Treatment…) Also in attendance, says Matt, will be Billie Piper, who stars in — and we’re not kidding — the upcoming Secret Diaries of a Call Girl, which will premiere in June. Talk about timely. Perhaps the newly unemployed Eliot Spitzer can make a cameo appearance.

Here’s the rundown on today’s crowd:

1. Gerry Imber, Jerry Della Femina and the gang with Fox News’ Monica Crowley.

2. Showtime’s chairman and CEO Matt Blank with über producer Michael Davies.

3. “Mayor” Joe Armstrong and Glamoureditrix Cindi Leive (Glad you hear you’re a loyal “Lunch” reader!). The Mayor was celebrating with his friend Cindi over a glass of red wine — and a few asparagus spears — about her big news. Minutes before lunch, Cindi found out Glamour is a finalist for the fourth year in a row for the National Magazine Award for General Excellence. No woman’s magazine has ever been so honored! The worthy competitors: Time, People, National Geographic and Martha Stewart Living. Congrats! Before Cindi and Joe tucked into their lunch, we unanimously decided New York‘s Spitzer cover this week is one for the ages. Brilliant!

4. Norman Pearlstine and a young gent no one seemed to know …
