Lagerfeld's interest in grunge child Cobain comes as no great surprise considering his love affair with Amy Winehouse. We wondered why WiHo hadn't been tapped for the gig but then learned Cobain is known for her lovely porcelain skin — whereas WiHo has impetigo and any number of "cat" scratches that never go away.

Helfer Burns Out: TV Guide is gleefully reporting that Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Galactica's Cylon extraordinaire, will have a multi-episode run on USA's Burn Notice. As the giddy Michael Ausiello exclaims, "Does it get any better than that? Well, does it?!" Sure it's news, but he's so excited you'd think Helfer just announced a multi-episode run of posing naked in his office. [Ausiello Report/TV Guide]
Ripley Hears Tommy: Tony-nominated Alice Ripley (Next to Normal) will play Mrs. Walker in an upcoming Los Angeles production of The Who's Tommy. Joining her is The L Word's Nona Hendrix as the Acid Queen. According to press notes, the production will require the audience to wear headphones for an immersive 3-D sound, and since it's at Hollywood's Ricardo Montalban theater, presumably they'll all be fitted with muscular prosthetic chests. Khaaaaan! [Playbill]

...they managed to snag a last-minute seat at Fortune magazine's table.
And, of course, the fame-hungry duo from MTV's The Hills spent the night snaking their way through the DC after-parties. They hit the Bloomberg LP soirée at the embassy of Costa Rica, which was such a disaster, half the invitees couldn't get in.
Fortune? Bloomberg LP? Wait, neither of you is talking to Rupert Murdoch's Fox Business or Wall Street Journal, right? Please tell me I'm right.

...he is loyal, almost to a fault. One reporter said he “can’t say no.” And many former colleagues say he is not the type of manager who is capable of easily firing workers.
In fact, the prevailing theory as to why he never became the editor of The Financial Times is because the paper needed to trim its ranks after a hiring boom during the dot-com days, and Mr. Thomson was not seen as the right person to do that.
And already at the Journal, the Times reports, Thomson has announced an investment of $6 million per year for four additional pages of international news.

A Disney spokeswoman called the Vanity Fair shoot "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." As opposed to, say, a situation created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell a television show or the products advertised in them.
This isn't about exploitation or morality. It's about, on the one hand, a move studio looking to preserve the profits that come from selling a particular character increasingly divorced from the actress who plays her, and on the other a set of parents freaked out about anything remotely sexual and unwilling to serve as an intermediary between the media and their children.
