Being a media mogul can get tiring. Could the news that New York magazine owner Bruce Wasserstein is marrying a younger woman signal a bit of loss of interest in his marriage to the magazine?

New York Governor David Paterson's attack flack oversaw a stealth media campaign to smear Caroline Kennedy after she withdrew from the Senate race—which succeeded in making Kennedy and the Governor look terrible. Good work!

One reporter is looking for a few young women who'd like to become the UK versions of the universally reviled "Dating a Banker Anonymous" girls. But don't worry: he guarantees nobody will find out.

The good news: Details staffers were just told that they're moving out of their second class offices on Third Avenue into the big time, Conde Nast headquarters at 4 Times Square! The bad news:

NYT editor Bill Keller directly addressed questions about the paper's business model today—specifically, about charging for online news, and the possibility of the paper going non-profit. He'll have to decide sooner than he'd like.

In your snowy Tuesday media column: media employees forced to re-apply for their own jobs, failed newspaper execs mumbling, and Ben Stein is unpopular:

• Doubledown Media, the publisher of magazines like Trader, Cigar Report, and Dealmaker, and other titles aimed at the Wall Street set has shut down. [Folio]
• Those Pepsi ads that resembled a "MacGruber" skit from SNL? It was part of a deal between the soft drink company and Lorne Michaels, naturally. [NYT]
• The final Nielsen numbers are in: 95.4 million tuned in on Sunday. [MW]
• Bob Costas is leaving HBO to join the MLB Network. [THR]

The New York Times now considers the mere fact that someone is a Wall Street executive to be a sufficient reason to grant them automatic anonymity in a story. So the neighbors don't find out.

Failed horse trader Gov. Rod Blagojevich continues his sad media tour on the Today show today, where Meredith Vieira succeeds in making him sound like Bill Clinton in his most pitiful Lewinsky scandal moments.

Inside-trading homemaker and suppressor of differently-colored pens Martha Stewart has implied—via an autograph to a radio show intern—that our intrepid reporting is not to be believed. Outrageous! Why can't Martha Stewart squash the beef?

Journalists tend to be liberals because they tend to be educated but not wealthy, and haughty smartasses. So it's no surprise ex-journalists are pouring into Obama administration jobs. Why can't they just admit their fandom?

Last March, the NYT noted how well rich guy-targeted publisher Doubledown Media was doing: "Trader Monthly and similar publications do not need to worry 'until their readers give up their private planes.'" That happened!

Vanity Fair Reuses 2007 Obama Cover for March 2009 Issue [NYO]

Heiressblogger and ultimate narrator Emily Brill is pulling some shenanigans! Her blog seems to have been erased. The ghostly message replacing it: "Hey New Yorkers, One year on the blog was always the plan. Now working on long term (and paying) projects. Yours, Emily"

In your lovely Monday media column: Bill Keller speaks on the NYT's future (it'll be fine!), New York's least fun media Super Bowl party revealed, papers advertise, and more!

Pajamas Media was founded by a bunch of conservative bloggers dissatisfied with the liberal MSM. And now, like the liberal MSM, they are all out of money.

A tipster tells us the atmosphere is tense at the Vibe offices—"they may not have enough money to print the March issue" because of a lack of ads. [UPDATE: Vibe statement below]:

Conde Nast, magazine publisher of the gods, is in trouble. Many of its most famous magazines are losing critical amounts of advertising. How bad are things? So bad that Conde is actually making some changes!
