If you've ever fancied yourself that Cosmopolitan girl, or still enjoy the shallow fun inside the glossy pages of women's mags (we're guilty on both counts), check out this insider look at the first meeting between new Cosmo editor Joanna Coles and her staff. Money quote from Cole: “I realized that one of the reasons it’s going to be fun to edit a magazine about sex—sex is free,” she says. “You don’t have to be rich to have good sex. Which, in these times, is good.”

Yes, the Creative Arts Emmys have been given out (for the record, HBO won 17 of them and CBS 13), but now comes the big show, the Primetime Emmys, Sept. 23 on ABC.  How big?  Well, the Emmys apparently reduce even the biggest TV stars to bad cases of pre-show jitters.  In The Huffington Post, Sandy Cohen runs down how some of these household names cope (“Parks and Recreation”’s Amy Poehler, for example, recommends baby aspirin and sangria, while “New Girl”’s Zooey Deschanel prefers a glass of water and a deep breath.)  So no wonder …

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly will take to the Internet Oct. 6 for a 90-minute debate that will cost viewers $4.95. Half of the proceeds from what’s being called “The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium” will go to “very worthy charities,” according to O’Reilly, as quoted by Time’s Sarah Kneezle.  The event will take place at George Washington University in the nation’s capital

The three-martini lunch of the “Mad Men” era may be gone, but ad agency folk apparently still like to drink, at least in-house.  Enter Business Insider’s new “Ad Agency Pub Crawl” series.  The first installment provides a visual peek at the office bars of 10 agencies, ranging from TWBA/Chiat/Day’s SurfBar in L.A. and JWT’s New Bar in New York, to Arnold’s beer vending machine -- named Arnie -- in Boston.    

As part of a broad licensing arrangement for “Stan Lee’s Mighty 7,” a new comic book series from the man behind so many Marvel legends, A2 Entertainment and Lee’s POW Entertainment announced plans for a feature film based on the superheroes to premiere next year on The Hub TV network. The partners hope the film will be the springboard for a regular TV series, writes Pietro Filipponi, reporting from the Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles.  The “Mighty 7” comic book, by the way, is published by Archie Comics.  Yes, that Archie.  

NPR’s success in the digital world may be paving the way for the death of local public radio stations, worries Todd Mundt, whose job at NPR “is to dole out NPR’s resources and know-how to stations in need of digital training and strategy” writes Nieman’s Andrew Phelps. Mundt, as part of this Q&A, worries that stations “will be revealed as rather pedestrian repeaters of national content.”

Rodale’s Prevention magazine, having lost about a quarter of its ad pages over the past year, will revamp its editorial starting in 2013.  Anne Alexander, returning as editorial director after a 12-year absence, said the mag will now focus on helping its older female readers improve their own health rather than that of their neighbors, kids and husbands.  

Tony Ortega, editor of the Village Voice, is leaving the paper to work on a book about Scientology, but he was actually pushed out, according to "sources with knowledge of the situation," writes Kara Bloomgarden-Smoke. Village Voice Media has not announced his replacement. Ortega's departure is cited as another example of rough times at the alt-weekly, including the layoff of four editorial staffers and the "legal and political drama due to its online adult classifieds operation, Backpage.com, which has been a crucial source of revenue for Village Voice Media in recent years," she writes.

"The next Shrek or Mickey Mouse could start as an app," notes a source in this story that examine the trend of Hollywood companies looking to smartphone apps to provide content for movies and TV shows. Examples: The Angry Birds movie set for 2015, and the "television work on the drawing board for Swampy, the smiling reptilian star of its mobile game Where’s My Water?" writes Brooks Barnes. Still, companies are cautious about moving ahead, hampered by such concerns as the possible fleeting nature of interest in mobile games and the fact that "movies based on video games have routinely …
