Elle update! So, in re. today's story on the magazine and all the reality show fighting and Joe Zee and Nina Garcia—well, Ben Widdicombe's item on the upcoming Tyra-produced show about the mag mightn't have been totally accurate. The contestants cannot literally be in the way of any Elle staffers, because the show is being filmed in a recently constructed pretend office for the magazine, which has a notoriously shitty real one. All the other stuff we're still no clearer on.

Things are apparently a mess at fashion magazine Elle. A terrible reality show is has taken over the office, according to Ben Widdicombe. The show is called "Fashionista," it's produced by Tyra, and it will air on The CW later this year. It documents the search for a new assistant for creative director Joe Zee, even though he has an assistant already, one who is by all reports perfectly competent. So the show's contestants are just running around the office, getting in everyone's way with pointless "challenges," competing for a job they won't get. Meanwhile, an email we received from an anonymous tipster seems to suggest that maybe Mr. Zee, with his star-making new reality show on the way, might be helping to publicize the ouster of the mag's last reality show star, former fashion director Nina Garcia.
