Conan O'Brien Recipe "Completely Made Up" By Good Housekeeping
Late-night TV host Conan O'Brien was surprised to read about his "St. Patrick's Day Stew" in Good Housekeeping given that he doesn't cook, has never tasted the dish and has no idea how the recipe got into the magazine. O'Brien devoted three prime minutes of his show, immediately following the monologue, to the recipe. He said the Hearst magazine "completely made this [recipe] up" and made a jokey statement about feeling "a little exploited." Well, Conan, just imagine how the rest of us feel: First we lost any faith in the accuracy of personal memoirs, now we can't even trust that celebrity magazine recipes aren't totally fabricated?

'Times' Gives 'WSJ' Article Seal of Approval
Today's Times brings news of a classic brand's renovation:Good Housekeeping, owned by the Hearst Corporation, is undergoing a broad-based effort to overhaul the image of its century-old brand. Its biggest selling point, Good Housekeeping says, is its years of accumulated trust, based on the lab and the seal, which, it says, set it apart from other magazines."The new institute allows us to be more visible as to what is behind that trust," said Patricia Haegele, Good Housekeeping's publisher. Among other things, the institute serves as the backdrop for television segments.This will probably come as a total shock to you, unless, uh, you read about it in the Wall Street Journal five weeks ago: More »

Ellen Levine Bumped to Hearst Editorial Director
Another week, another magland up-and-out maybe promotion. Last week it Time M.E. Jim Kelly who was either upped or maybe eased to the brand-new position of company-wide managing editor, where he'll troubleshoot and help recruit but not have direct oversight of any Time Inc. titles. This week it's Good Housekeeping's longtime EIC Ellen Levine, who is being upped or just maybe eased to the brand-new position of Hearst Magazine editorial director, where she'll help develop brand extensions and new titles but not, as we read the memo, have direct oversight of any Hearst titles. While you debate among yourselves whether or not they're promotions, the full Hearst memo — touting, among other things, Levine's "unparalleled record of putting the reader first" — is after the jump.
