Women Rule At The Time 100 Party
Last night in New York, Time magazine hosted a reception honoring its self-selected 100 Most Influential people of the year and, I have to say, the women in attendance were a cool bunch: Arianna Huffington, Martha Stewart, Angelica Huston, Wendy Kopp, Tina Fey, Madeeha Hasan Odhaib, Elizabeth Gilbert, and others. And since today's my last day as a full-time Jezebel, I've decided to focus less on the clothes and more on what they've accomplished. On the whole, these are women sans stylists: They're all Good in my book! (Though Wendi Deng's dress is a little unforgivable.) More » -

Tinseltown Got Glittery And Gay For Elton John's Oscar Party
Despite the majority of Oscar party cancellations in light of the seemingly un-ending (and now ended) WGA strike, Elton John's long-running, star-studded fete was in full swing last night. Many of this year's nominees and winners dropped by, as did others, including Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Courtney Love, Rupert Murdoch, Minnie Driver, Leven Rambin, Lydia Hearst, Tara Reid, Tara Subkoff, Cheryl Tiegs (at left), Faye Dunaway, and even designer Roberto Cavalli, who looked ready to pick a fight. Maybe it's because Sir Elton brings out the crazy in people, but the fashions were much, well, louder at his party than they were at the awards themselves.

Will New Rupert Murdoch Luxury Mag Dare To Be "Frank"?
Rupert Murdoch is launching another ladymag! And we're kind of excited. (As you may know, Rupert's first foray into this market happened last fall with the launch of Page Six Magazine, a weekly that, depending on your point of view, is either depressingly, apocalypse usher-innningly dumbed-down — or about as smart as anything devoted to shopping, restaurants and recreational drug trends of young Manhattan professionals deserves to be.) (My point of view on this changes pretty much every week.) But Rupert's latest venture has the potential to be more our speed: it's Pursuits — or maybe, a magazine not named Pursuits, a glossy to be located within every weekend issue of the Wall Street Journal. And the editor is Tina Gaudoin, a lady who has had a lot of jobs but blah blah I'm going to focus on this magazine she launched my freshman year of college when I was still naive and aspirational and cool-seeking. Frank was a sister publication to The Face, and it was supposed to be a women's magazine like none had ever existed. More » -

Judith Regan Vs. Rupert Murdoch: Who Has The Bigger Cock?
Former HarperCollins imprint editor and assistant taunting "crazy bitch" Judith Regan finally filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NewsCorp, HarperCollins' parent company yesterday, almost a year after she was fired for planning a certain O.J. Simpson confessional and also for alleged anti-Semitic remarks. Regan, who reportedly used to scream, "I have the biggest cock in the building" is brandishing her figurative phallus with this suit. She accuses Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp of launching a smear campaign against her because of her affair with former Giuliani police commissioner Bernie Kerik and alleges that a "senior News Corp. executive told her he believed she had information about Kerik that could hurt Giuliani's campaign and she should lie to federal investigators."

'Page Six Magazine': The Glossy Publication Of Our Functionally Retarded Generation
The best way to describe the brand new Page Six Magazine is New York as told to Life & Style, a verdict we would have delivered sooner if the president of Iran had not provided such irresistible fodder for our celebrity. fashion. feminism. website.* To be sure, we hear the News Corp overlords gave the editorial team approximately forty-seven minutes to launch the thing, but on the other hand, the editorial team was stocked with alums of Jane and Radar and the magazine reads like it's vying to steal the transit authority's lucrative "Learn English" account. In a way, it's almost appealingly illiterate: snotty society types like Arden Wohl and Carine Roitfeld feel more like footballer's wives in the large, bubbly fonts offset by subheads laden with retarded "Six" puns.

How Rupert Murdoch Is Bad For Women: 'Fashion Journal' Smackdown Edition
You asked us to find a way News Corp.'s acquisition of Dow Jones was bad for women, and in today's Wall Street Journal we finally found our answer in the form of not one, but two separate lady-penned "Personal Journal" section stories exhorting the womyns to wear uncomfortable clothes in the workplace, even when it's a workplace called your couch. Advises author and veteran apparel industry reporter Teri Agins on telecommuting chic:By all means, dress comfortably, but get out of those sloppy sweats, pajamas and terry-cloth slippers...ladies, keep your hair coiffed and put on some lipstick.
But just alongside her on page D8 she is so totally one-upped by longtime hospitality industry reporter Christina Binkley, who manages to find a blogger who wears stilettos on the job for the "intimidation factor."At 5'9½ in bare feet, a pair of heels leaves Kristin Bentz, who runs a fashion-investment blog, towering over many men in a room. "I totally use the shoes for the intimidation factor — for women and for men," she says.
