Word comes in over the tipline that Christopher Bollen of V Magazine is to take over as editor of Interview, the post recently vacated by the unpleasant Ingrid Sischy. If true, hottie-about-town Bollen would be an appropriate hire for Interview, a magazine founded by Andy Warhol to explore the cult of celebrity which has devolved into a desultory circle-jerk of downtown personalities. Bollen was featured in Me Magazine, a publication with a similarly nauseating premise: each issue is devoted to a single "creative individual" and their circle of equally creative friends. (Much like today's Gawker!)
The historic takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could come as soon as this weekend, moved to the forefront of the presidential campaign Saturday.
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
