Newish Stuff editor Dan Bova's first editor's letter is a sendup of Chanel designer/vampire-grampy Karl Lagerfeld. According to WWD, Bova "wrote the editor's letter of his first full issue in the supposed voice of Karl Lagerfeld, focusing mostly on what Bova fabricates is the designer's taste for eating cats." We suppose this is what Dan is getting at when he says that Stuff is making a "concerted effort to go upscale," but we're unconvinced. We're talking about the author of the Karl Lagerfeld Diet here, the man who once said that his "only ambition in life" is to fit into size 28 jeans. You think he'd really be caught dead ingesting a calorie-crammed, full-fat feline?

Hold your horses! Hold them. In a move sure to shock no one who cares, Stuff executive editor Dan Bova has been promoted to editor-in-chief, filling the stinky void left by Jimmy Jellinek's departure to Maxim. "I apologize in advance to any readers whose heads explode from awesome overload," says Bova, predicting that future issues of Stuff will feature photos of scantily clad women. Full awesome overload after the head-exploding jump.
