Trump magazine is a men's luxury glossy that captures the "essence" of the Donald Trump experience, and reflects the entrepreneurial passion and drive that have made the Trump name equally synonymous with opulence and business savvy. Trump is a dynamic publication, one without rival in its competitive set-targeted to a discerning readership of upwardly mobile, intelligent men who appreciate the best out of life.

Trump celebrates life's risks and rewards in the same manner as the magazine's namesake-the challenges of a real estate deal, the thrill of launching a new business venture, a round of golf on an award-winning course, a jaunt to a five-star resort-this is Trump's world! A quarterly magazine which chronicles the people and places that shape its readers' lives from the perspective of a 21st Century business and pop-culture icon, Donald Trump.

Anderson Cooper has inked a new multiyear pact with CNN, according to sources inside the all news network. Under the terms of the new deal, the host of the CNN primetime show Anderson Cooper 360 can continue as an occasional contributor to 60 Minutes.

Although the network would not comment directly on the matter, CNN President Jon Klein said, "Anderson Cooper is an exceptional journalist, and his dedication in going after important stories wherever they occur makes him a natural fit for CNN. We look forward to more of his groundbreaking work in the years to come."

Cooper's previous contract with CNN was worth around $2 million a year, according to sources, and his new pay is more than double that amount. CNN has also made Cooper the center of an unprecedented multimillion-dollar promotional campaign.

Last December his newscast was up more than 30% in the key 25-54 news demo.

OPRAH Winfrey has inked a deal to publish a fitness book with her personal trainer Bob Greene in what industry insiders say is the richest nonfiction book deal in history, sources told On The Money.

While sources declined to give an exact price, these people said it is larger than the $12 million advance former President Bill Clinton got to write his autobiography, "My Life," which was published by Knopf in 2004.

Oprah's book will be published by Simon & Schuster in January, and the gathering of publishing types at the annual Book Expo America in Washington, D.C., this weekend was abuzz with speculation about "an embargoed book coming out in January," according to a source.

Vargas said she had made the decision after consulting with her doctors.

"David and I have been talking for some time about what would happen as my maternity leave approaches," Vargas said. "My doctors have asked that I cut back my schedule considerably. What works best for me and my family is to return in the fall to '20/20' as I raise my new baby and young son."

Woodruff said, "Elizabeth and I set out on a great adventure this year, and I'm proud of what we accomplished. Elizabeth had to shoulder an enormous job when I was injured, and she did it with grace. Charlie Gibson is a mentor and a friend. I look forward to contributing to his broadcast as soon as I'm able."

"Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone" draws a monthly U.S. audience — Internet users visiting at least once that month — ranging from 500,000 to 1.4 million, according to comScore Media Metrix. (Some stories also appear in print through the Scripps Howard News Service.)

That's larger than the Internet's most popular Web journals and comparable to the entire Web sites of many metropolitan daily newspapers, but it's nowhere near broadcast outlets -- on the Web or over the air.

Consider NBC, which had retained Sites as a freelancer before he joined Yahoo last year. MSNBC.com typically gets at least 24 million visitors a month, while Nielsen Media Research says NBC's "Nightly News" averaged 8 million viewers last week -- that's for simultaneous viewers, not the once-a-month requirement for Internet tracking.

In fact, it was one of Sites' NBC dispatches that got him notoriety. He shot video of a Marine corporal shooting an apparently injured and unarmed Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque; the footage prompted outrage among Iraqis.

He later wrote about it on his blog and got attention that cemented in his mind the Internet's power.

In honor of Maxim's 100th issue, which is on newsstands this week, the men's magazine has created a 75-by-110-foot vinyl mesh replica of its January 2005 cover image of Eva Longoria in the desert outside Las Vegas. Nine workers took more than 15 hours to build the cover, which is so big that satellites are able to photograph the image from space.

The stunt was made possible by the city of Las Vegas and Google Earth, which will display the image today (www.maximonline.com/maximusa).

"Leave it to Maxim to do something so creative and so wild to celebrate their 100th issue," says Longoria, who topped Maxim's Hot 100 list last year. "I guess space is no longer the final frontier. I am flattered, to say the least, to be TV's Sexiest Earthling."

Couric announced Wednesday that she is leaving "Today" after 15 years as host next month. She'll become anchor and managing editor of the "CBS Evening News" in September.

Despite the public's initial wariness, the poll suggests Couric has a chance to catch on at night, or at least lift the CBS broadcast from third place behind NBC's "Nightly News" and ABC's "World News Tonight."

Couric turned down an offer of about $20 million a year to stay at NBC in order to take CBS' five-year deal at near her current salary of about $15 million, according to people close to negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because networks do not speak publicly about salaries. She's also agreed to do "60 Minutes" stories and prime-time specials for CBS.

Alba accuses Playboy of violating her rights and misleading the public by getting a publicity photo from her 2005 movie "Into the Blue" from Sony Pictures and running it on the cover -- complete with a bunny logo superimposed on her bikini top.

Lawyers for Alba, 24, have threatened to sue Playboy unless the issue was pulled off the stands and demanded that the "Fantastic Four" star be compensated for damage to her image.

They also accuse Playboy of duping Sony Pictures into supplying a photo of the Golden Globe-nominated actress, wearing a multicolored bikini and sporting a belly ring, for the cover.

Playboy said Alba was placed on the cover after being chosen "sexiest star of the year" by its readers. She was included inside the magazine in an article on the top 25 sexiest celebrities as chosen in an online poll.

Ms. Jordan, who has been a key member of the BookExpo America management team since 1997, the first year the event was wholly managed by Reed after the event’s acquisition from the American Booksellers Association, has been Special Events and Public Relations Director for BEA since 2000. Working closely with ABA and AAP, the event’s co-sponsors, she has been instrumental in strategic planning and in developing the special programming and author-related events that have turned BookExpo America into the English-speaking world’s premier book event.

Shock jock Howard Stern is still three days away from his satellite debut, but the controversial radio host has already raked in some US$218 million worth of stock in Sirius Satellite Radio. Yesterday, Stern was awarded 34.4 million shares after Sirius "exceeded agreed-upon subscriber targets," the company disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stern will share the windfall with his agent Don Buchwald, according to the filing. The stock grant was part of the original $500 million five-year deal that enticed Stern to leave traditional radio for satellite -- but at the time the deal was announced in October 2004 the stock was worth about half what it is today.

In other words, the value of Stern's blockbuster deal has now ballooned to more than $600 million. But not all of that goes to Stern's pocket: the proceeds also go to pay his staff, to fund programming and towards the cost of building a new Midtown studio.

The richest man in the world, Bill Gates, and his wife, Melinda, were named Time magazine's "Persons of the Year" along with Irish rocker Bono for being Good Samaritans who made a difference in different ways.

The three were chosen for their work in trying to find ways to eradicate such calamities as malaria in Africa, HIV and AIDS and the poverty that kills 8 million people a year, said James Kelly, Time managing editor. The magazine's December 19 issue comes out on Monday.

Time also named former U.S. Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton as "Partners of the Year" for their humanitarian efforts after the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and the unlikely friendship that developed from that work.

Zucker, who was previously president of NBC Universal television networks, will now head an expanded television group that combines programming, the stations group, operations, and sales into one unit. He will report to NBC Universal CEO Bob Wright.
