Cindi Leive has been editor-in-chief of Glamour since 2001.

It's a special edition of Gawker Explainer, the fun feature where we help you correctly pronounce names in the news so that you don't sound like an idiot when you sneak into Conde Nast parties. What's so special? Well, this edition comes to you directly from guest-explainer James Brady, Forbes media, uh, guy? Anyway, how might one go about saying Glamour EIC/ASME President Cynthia "Cindi" Leive's surname?

It's that time of year again: Bleary-eyed Conde Nast editors turn out for the annual Christmas luncheon, and, middle-school style, determine their status by their closeness to (or distance from) Chairman Si. Conde Kremlinologist Keith Kelly gives you the scoop, but here are a couple of highlights:

It's Thursday, the third day of this slightly more petite working week, and thus the third day in a row that Glamour EIC Cindi Leive has been on the Today show (it could be the fourth day, for all we know — if anyone out there was masochistic enough to have watched Monday, let us know). Fashion Week starts tomorrow, and Glamour is co-sponsoring helicopter transport for the skinny set, but Leive isn't talking about her Eurotrash chopper or the forthcoming clusterfuck in Bryant Park. No, she's just telling us how to look good in honor of the mag's new Big Book of Dos & Don'ts, which has now been plugged on Today with three "significant" (relatively speaking) fashion segments. We're looking forward to tomorrow's appearance to round out a week of incredible product placement. Some poor flack's jaw must be exhausted.

• "His ability to remain totally upright when sprinting, as if carrying an invisible egg and spoon—what are these, if not the techniques of an alien life force who has just graduated summa cum laude in advanced human behavior?" Tom Cruise, watch out — the New Yorker is onto you, and Sy Hersh might be looking for a new beat. [NYer]
• Apple v. Apple, resolved: the Beatles' record label loses to Apple computers, meaning that we can all download the boys on iTunes with reckless, 99-cent abandon. [Variety]
• Glamour EIC Cindi Leive has been named the new prez of the American Society of Magazine Editors. Just another damn responsibility for her assistant. [FishbowlNY]
• 60 Minutes may get Anderson Cooper, but they only get him 5 times per year. He'll be filling Christine Amanpour's part-time position — what we lose in classy accents, we make up for in piercing pools of blue. [AP]
• Kaavya Viswanathan may have fucked up, but she's no James Frey. Give the girl a crackpipe, though, and anything's possible. [USA Today]
• New Jersey's new tourism slogan, "Come See For Yourself," is wisely abandoned. As it turns out, West Virginia is already using the catchphrase, along with the Dakotas and any other states no one would willingly see for themselves. [Adfreak]
• Behold the unimpressive aesthetics of the Art Rock show at Rockefeller Center. Glance now and save yourself the effort of going to the real thing. [Animal]
• Elle creative director Gilles Bensimon loses a 14-year-old beauty to a 17-year-old amateur. So, who's the young waif in question? And why is Gilles such a dirty old man? [Breakfast]
