Interview, America's premiere source for transcripts of famous people talking amongst themselves, reaches surreal new heights in this month's cover story. With the help of music editor Dmitri Ehrlich, a nearly-sentient rice noodle named Paris Hilton interviewed rapper Lil' Wayne. Among the topics of discussion: The celebrities' respective incarcerations, Wayne for his latest weapons and narcotics charge, and Paris for driving drunk on a hamburger run.

In this month's Interview magazine, Justin Timberlake interviews Amanda Seyfried by phone. Compared to previous Interview kiss-fests—like Kidman fluffing Cotillard or Kanye humping Rihanna's leg—it was pretty tame. Until, in the middle of a conversation about Gary Oldman and apropos nothing, Seyfried blurted this:

Kanye West interviewed Rihanna for Interview magazine, and the result was the equivalent of a Jack Russell terrier burying its face in your crotch and humping.

In your scraggly Thursday media column: CNN is proud of odd things, the Glenn Beck boycott is a failure, a lawsuit against Interview magazine, and Moe Tkacik takes DC.

The latest issue of Interview magazine features 10-year-old actress Keirnan Shipka who plays Sally Draper on Mad Men dressed up like an Upper East Side dowager four times her age. We knew Betty was a bad mother, but damn.

Sports Illustrated was the first magazine to make a splash with a demo on a tablet computer; now, Interview has rolled out its own iPad demo. Looks good! Check back in six months to see if anyone uses it. [HuffPo]

In your muggy Monday media column: New bosses at Interview Magazine, CBS keeps Walter Cronkite around, the Ahwatukee Foothills News' reputation is tarnished by a faux chef, and Cody Willard sits at a bar.

Like every other print magazine in the world, Interview continues to have problems.

Earlier this week, Glenn O'Brien, the editorial director in charge of Brant Publications' magazines—Interview, Art in America, and others—left the company. Now O'Brien says the entire company is "going insane."

In your torrential Tuesday media column: No rock-breaking for Current reporters, a new job for Jesse Oxfeld, more Observer layoff victims, ad spending plunges (more), and one more unnecessary Obama book TK:

Peter Brant seems to be going through the billionaire's version of mid-life crisis. It's been brutal on his second, and soon to be ex-, wife.

In your outrageously newsy Wednesday media column: a PR conspiracy theory for Us Weekly, updates on Conde Nast layoffs and Interview cheapskate-ness, Steve Bartelstein vanishes, and trade mags start wheezing:

Andy Warhol famously said everyone would be famous for 15 minutes; if Peter Brant has his way, everyone will work for Warhol's old magazine Interview for 15 hours. For free.

Interview magazine parted ways with co-editorial director Fabien Baron just one year after re-hiring him. Baron, who helped relaunch Andy Warhol's title in 1990, may be launching his own publication.

Big changes at the magazine set up by Andy Warhol to turn his downtown friends into celebrities: in place of a frumpy lesbian, Interview is now to be led by a gay fashion template. From John Koblin's profile of Christopher Bollen, the magazine's new editor: "In crisp white oxford-cloth shirt by Adam Kimmel ("He's my favorite designer"), gray Karl Lagerfeld sweater vest, Dior navy cords and Margiela brown shoes, he was an advertiser's wet dream." One didn't think it possible: the new Interview may be even more self-loving than the old.[New York Observer]

Word comes in over the tipline that Christopher Bollen of V Magazine is to take over as editor of Interview, the post recently vacated by the unpleasant Ingrid Sischy. If true, hottie-about-town Bollen would be an appropriate hire for Interview, a magazine founded by Andy Warhol to explore the cult of celebrity which has devolved into a desultory circle-jerk of downtown personalities. Bollen was featured in Me Magazine, a publication with a similarly nauseating premise: each issue is devoted to a single "creative individual" and their circle of equally creative friends. (Much like today's Gawker!)

Is this the end of days? We're hearing that Interview editrix Ingrid Sischy left the title yesterday. She was a downtown publishing fixture, if a minor one, known mainly for her famous friends from an earlier New York era, like Robert Mapplethorpe, Calvin Klein, Elton John and the Versaces. True to the mission of the magazine, she interviewed them at length, often at excessive length. More background, after the jump.
