Bruce Wasserstein Now Has a Better Pastime than Magazines

Bruce Wasserstein: Facelift Or A Natural Glow?
Important item: Has billionaire Lazard chairman Bruce Wasserstein, the owner of New York magazine, had some plastic surgery? Cityfile thinks so, after examining a current photo vs. one from two years ago. Then again, two years ago Wasserstein was rumored to be seriously ill. So maybe he just got over that? And is it really worth spending all that money to get plastic surgery when you're already 60 and married and not prowling the clubs for hot young things? I guess if you're a billionaire, you can do what you like, thank you. Click to enlarge the pic. [via Cityfile]

Bruce Wasserstein Marks "Younger Asian Girlfriend" Off Rich Guy Checklist
Megamillionaire investment banker and New York magazine owner Bruce Wasserstein (currently under attack from our advertisers) is reportedly getting divorced from his wife (#3) Claude, and taking up with "a young Asian beauty with whom he may already be planning a family." The scandalous tale of wealth, sex, and power will be splashed all over New York magazine next week, in Imaginary World. In the actual world, you probably won't be reading about it there. More interesting than the rich-guy divorce story, though, is the angle that the gossips are hinting at oh-so-delicately: What's the deal with all these old super-rich moguls hooking up with younger Asian women these days? Interracial dating amongst the rich, incredible and noteworthy!: More »

Union Takes Anti-Wasserstein Fight to (Most) New York Media
Billionaire Bruce Wasserstein is under attack from communists! And they're taking the fight to the blogs! SEIU, the service industry union, has been trying to unionize workers at a chain of nursing homes called Atria Senior Living. Atria was recently bought by Lazard Real Estate Partners, which is a little corner of Lazard Ltd., which is the parent company of Wasserstein's investment bank. Since the buyout, SEIU says the nursing homes have raised rents while cutting staff and level of care. You'll find SEUI's tricky pretend financial ads on the sites of the New York Post, the Times, and, yes, Gawker (see attached, or look up). But you probably won't see them over at the homepage of New York Magazine, which is owned by a guy named Bruce Wasserstein. [NYP] -

NY Mag Rich Man Feeling Poorly?
Though he's supposedly giving a speech today at Lazard (the investment bank he heads as his "day job"), New York magazine's owner Bruce Wasserstein reportedly hasn't been doing well lately. Blogging Stocks claims that Wasserstein has been living reclusively for some weeks; moreover, "[h]e has lost 50 pounds and is said to look like a wobbly, 75-year-old" (Wasserstein is 58). Speculation abounds as to whether this is related to his sister's untimely passing earlier this year or the stress surrounding the Time-Warner-ripping report he created. Personal accounts of recent Wasserstein encounters welcome. More » -

Introducing the Next Owner of the 'New York Observer'
We never quite bought Keith Kelly's claim that rich guy, investment banker, Carl Icahn ally, and New York owner Bruce Wasserstein was seriously considering buying the New York Observer. (If you already owned one publication that covers media and politics and business and Manhattan society, we wondered, why would you buy a second one?) But now it's moot: Today Kelly is reporting that Wasserstein is no longer interested — if he ever was.

The 'Observer' to Seek Shelter in Wasserstein's Wealthy Embrace?
Post media stalker Keith Kelly has an interesting item this morning regarding the fate of our much beloved New York Observer (#15 on our 123 reasons for loving this godforsaken town): After years in the red and a circulation plateauing at about 45k, the pretty pink paper is being "quietly shopped around" to prospective buyers. Specifically, editor Peter Kaplan, who very much wants to save his baby, has hit London to meet with New York moneybags Bruce Wasserstein.

'New York' Mag: Always Be Closing
Funny: To magazine people, "closing" usually means something different than it does to salespeople. And, frankly, we don't so much want to be doing their kind. (We don't really want to be doing our kind, either, but it goes with the territory.) Somehow, though, lines got a little crossed yesterday at New York magazine, where some business folks decided to let no selling opportunity go unexploited and therefore reconfigured the email system to automatically append this flackery to the end of every outgoing message: More »
