This week's edition of New York mag's Look Book assaults us with an introduction to Demetrise Washington, who prefers shopping at Jill Stuart over eating lunch. Demetrise works at a brokerage house, is reading Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, but she's not quite sure who Eliot Spitzer is. Before you think she's a complete anomaly of the finance world, remember — her hat is made from fox and was purchased in Midtown. After the jump, Intern Alexis grills copy editor Sam Frank, VH1 producer Raphael Rodriguez, and research assistant Jonas Oransky for the male perspective on Demetrise's style.

Definitely better that US Weekly's 'Are Hunter and Ashlee On The Rocks Again?' cover.

Remember how you quaked in fear when Godzilla met Mothra? Prepare to be about ten times more terrified: Last night, The Nation's Eric Alterman spent some face time with old spit 'do, Paul Wolfowitz. Here's Alterman's report:

But, seriously: We're sure he reads it for the articles.

Next up: Is there a god?

Apparently the Post didn't have as much trouble watching the Fat Actress pilot as we did. In fact, they've found Kirstie Alley to be worthy of only the best in their team coverage:

Here's a lede we never thought we'd see in The New York Daily News:

Page Six reports that fellow Post roustabout Bridget Harrison (who's like their version of New York mag's dating columnist Amy Sohn, minus the sweatpants) has sold a book full of "tips and tales which were too juicy to be printed in a family news paper." Gosh, what sort of gems might Harrison have in store? Some possible ideas:

A reader wrote in to suggest that the new 'Best of New York' issue of New York Magazine looks an awful lot like Paper Magazine's website.

Despite our impassioned plea last week, Bill Keller has decided to kill The New York Times' 'Circuits' section. Sure, he wants to punish Jeff Jarvis after their love affair soured, but doesn't he know this hurts all of us?

Good news, men. There's a commercial making the Internet rounds for Progenitorivox, a wonder drug from SquabbMeriCo to help your wife with her problems. It's perfect for her since, like her "issues," it's complete and utter bullshit.

Perhaps taking a page out Jane Magazine's "Make Unders" column, conservative columnist and blogger Michelle Malkin has gotten a fabulous new look! Clearly someone heeded our request for columnists to update their photos.

· Literary novelists are beginning to confront 9/11. Finally! Actually, like this matters 99.9% of the adult reading population. C'mon, people: Vin Diesel had the number one movie this weekend. Vin fucking Diesel! We could fit the entire "literary fiction" reading audience in our kitchen and still have room left over for history's great Jewish basketball players. [NYT]
· Stop us if you've heard this one: A blogger walks into a White House briefing. "Ouch!" [Wonkette]
· A Florida prison approves letting prisoners read USA Today. Way to keep 'em ignorant yet sort of vaguely upbeat. But how are corrections officials gonna be able to use HipClicks to punish problem inmates now? [The Ledger]
· Were 80's ax-man Vito Bratta and Radar editor Maer Roshan separated at birth? [Panopticist]

This weekend's New York Times Magazine featured a lengthy profile of Beck by Arthur Lubow. Among the many revelations: Beck has moved away from Silver Lake, appears to wear the same clothes a lot, and Christina Ricci does a killer Japanese waitress impersonation. Also:

As FishBowlNY reported earlier today, New York Press editor Jeff Koyen has stepped down from his position in the wake of intense criticism for the paper's Pope-mocking cover story from last week.

In this week's review of the New York Times Book Review, Intern Alexis discovers the joy of avuncular old men, the pain of old literary feuds, and muses on why, God, why the book review lacks many actual reviews. (Instead, the staff recommends Nickel and Dimed. Better late than never?) Because the review portion of the review is so sparse, there's room for Op-Ed columnist Frank Rich's spawn, Nathaniel, to tackle liberal white hypocrisy — he did, after all, learn about it at Dalton.

This weekend, an important announcement hit the columns regarding the career of Ann Coulter:

From Maureen Dowd's New York Times column, March 6, 2005:

A friend writes: What's the difference between a grad student and a homeless person? Well, according to the instructions given to paid decoys in the city's "Shadow Count" homeless survey, it's mostly about the choice of headgear. As Ben McGrath writes in this week's New Yorker:

Did anyone else notice that this Saturday's regularly scheduled David Brooks column was pre-empted by an infomercial for the neocon journal The Public Interest?
