Time Warner has announced on PR Wire that SPRUCE, the Wallpaper spinoff about fashion and beauty, will resume next fall (October 2003). The spring 2003 issue has been suspended.
The laconic communique does not explain the decision. Complicating things even more, the company has announced that Wallpaper itself will change its formula, and would cover more travel, beauty and grooming. It isn't clear what would be Spruce's mandate in those conditions.
Started in 1996 by Tyler Brûlé and bought the following year by Time Warner, Wallpaper has built a circulation of about 130,000 copies. Jeremy Langmead, from London's Evening Standard, was named editor in chief of the magazine instead of Christina Ferrari, founding editor of Teen People.

From The New York post
People are wondering how come the ace photographer Annie Leibovitz had to do a second sitting with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger for an upcoming cover story for Vogue.
One source said that Vogue editrix Anna Wintour did not like the first photos, shot as the two co-stars were wrapping up the movie "Chicago."
"It was too much in period, and Anna didn't like them," said a source. The film, set in the Windy City in the 1920s, casts the two actresses as murderers of their cheating lovers. "She didn't feel it was enough fashion for the cover of Vogue," said our source.
A Vogue spokesman insists that is not the case - even though the Vogue shutterbugs had a two-day shoot out with the stars in March.
"We knew when the shoot ended that we did not have a cover," the spokesman insisted.
Then why the four-month delay between the initial photo shoot and the second one for the cover in July? "The first one came just as the filming was winding down and then they both took off," said the spokesman. "The next time we could get them together was July," he said. "Since it was the November cover, it didn't matter."
