That’s right, Mary Rambin is going for her second round of botox, and better.tv will be filming the procedure which airs HERE at 1:53 (set your alarms!)

In “My Body, My Botox“, Mary explains why she is not ashamed of getting botox at the tender age of 26:

“I care about how I look, why is that shameful?

OMFG!  Teen Magazine is DUNZO!

Can you believe it?  This, along with “Seventeen” were like the BEST thing that happened to me each month as a Jr. High student.  WWD Media has just reported that their Winter ‘08 issue will be their last.  “We will continue to publish the annual Teen Prom issue but will focus our teen publishing efforts on the Seventeen brand.” Teenmag.com will be absorbed into the Hearst Teen Network of sites.

Sad day in teenville.

New York MagazineNY Magazine just published their 4th Annual “Reasons to Love New York” issue and I have spent the better half of the morning reading it with a smile.  Because

“the payoffs from living in this city remain stratospherically high, regardless of what the Dow does on any given afternoon.”

What else?

Well, some of my favorite reasons they listed include:

Media MeshingRichard Blakeley from Gawker is the king of hosting Media Parties in this city.  Tonight, his infamous Media Meshing will be the last one he throws.  This is just icing on the ever crumbling cake that is the Media Buiness these days.  Here’s his description of the party:

End of all media — End of 2008 — End of Media Meshing
No it’s not a sign of the apocalypse, just an excuse to drink ’til it’s fuzzy!

For media types, 2008 has been a year of major highs and major lows — so it seems only appropriate for the 9th ever Media Meshing to take us out on top.

TimeOut NY has a feature this week titled “They Need a Drink” showcasing some of the city’s most recent laid of workers and where their favorite hangouts are to drink away their job woes.  We got a kick out of the ex Radar Team. Adam Raymond, Paige Ferrari, and our favorite, Neel Shah seem to chose Marshall Stack to twitter their days away (this is also a favorite spot of Lockhart Steele from Curbed).  The lazy drinking days were short lived by Neel, who has just gotten picked up by Page Six.  Thankfully, it looks like he has his new phone up and running too.

Last Thursday, Citrine hosted the launch for the second issue of Gradient Magazine. The event was presented by Inocente Tequila and the hosts included Bettina Prentice, Kipton Cronkite, Anastasia Rogers, and the artist Andres Serrano, fresh off his new and much talked about exhibition.  At the heart of the celebration was the new Gradient Magazine, which celebrates innovations and innovators throughout the fashion, art, design, and music worlds. The publication is the brainchild of Matt Fried, Barris Vinogradov and Alan Vinogradov.

Last week, editor in chief Kim Hastreiter along with our other friends from Paper Magazine, headed to the west coast for their 4th year in a row to “tap into the city’s pop-art scene, set up a 24-hour department store and party through Sunday. The fruits of their ruckus will make up Paper’s February issue.”  [LA Times] Their ruckus ended last night with a Sunday soirée they named “The Last Supper” hosted by Bijou Pillips and Danny Masterson at “Shin” a modern Korean restaurant in Hollywood co-owned by  Steve Aoki, Gerard Butler, Julian Casablancas, Chris Masterson, Danny Masterson, Laura Prepon and Mark Ronson.

After we got one of Lavo’s engraved glass slabs in August, we thought we had seen a new high-water mark for invitations.  Now, Gradient Magazine has done them one better.  For tomorrow’s launch of Frequency 2 of the magazine, Matt Fried, Alan Vinogradov, and Barris Vinogradov sent out the invites pictured above.  Hand-made, no two alike, these little pieces of art were put together by the Gradient team with inspiration from artist Gary Wenc who, is featured in this issue’s Gallarei along side Emmitt Shine, Matt Siren, and Lucien Dulfan.  We look forward to seeing what Gradient has put up their sleeve, as they host tomorrow night along with co-hosts Andres Serrano, Kipton Cronkite, Bettina Prentice, and Anastasia Rogers.

“Last Dance On The Deck Of The SS Radar”

Go HERE and HERE for more pictures from John Norwood and Max Flatow, and TAG YOURSELF in the galleries!

Last night saw the last gasp (or last middle finger) of Radar 3.0, as the recently-folded magazine bravely carried on with its previously planned Halloween party-turned media wake.  The mag’s latest/last cover model, Shannen Doherty, joined Maer Roshan, Jeb Reed, Neel Shah and the rest of the Radar family as they raged against the dying of the light until the wee hours of the morning.   Old and new media showed up to pay their respects, many in Gawker’s suggested costume of “recently laid-off writer/bloggers.”

Its time to start buying those equities again!  Forget the Oracle of Omaha, we’ve got Lockhart Steele! Lock appears to be the media man with the crystal ball as of late.  His two-part prediction regarding the fall of Radar Magazine is coming to fruition.  1) Radar Magazine WILL fold, and 2) When it folds it WILL mark the bottom of the economy.  Now Gawker has confirmed it.

“You will know when we have hit the bottom of this financial crisis the very day when Radar Magazine goes out of business. And you can quote me on that!”

Yes it’s true Radar Magazine was some Risky Business.  Especially in this world where Print Media is falling like flies.  But please don’t confuse our exuberance with Schadenfreude!  Sometimes its just fun when you’re right.
