"Your next few weeks of The New York Observer," a subscriber was recently informed by letter, "will be your last, unless you respond to this, our final renewal notice. Just think, after a few short weeks, no more writers, like, Rex Reed, Joe Canason and Andrew Sarris, ... no more breaking news stories exposing New York's power brokers, political shakers, business moguls and society mavericks...no more of New York's pre-eminent guide to arts and culture...no more of The New York Observer." No more Joe Canason! How could we, like, deal with that? Let alone the idea that we might miss the insights of, like, Tom Skokka or Sara Vilokome— Vilcommer— Vilkkker— eh, you know, the saucy chick who writes about the movies! Fortunately, publisher Jared Kushner has offered to extend the subscription to the ever-thinning paper a generous four weeks. Equally fortunately, his name is spelled correctly.

• The American Society of Journalists and Authors doesn't love Judy Miller as much as it thought it did. [E&P]
• Nor should they, if Joe Conason has anything to do with it. [NYO]
• Things ain't OK at OK! America. [NYP]
• Fraternal foodies Matt and Ted Lee to pen Martha Stewart Living's first ever wine column. [WWD (second item)]
