In "Four Play," Christina Ricci's latest cinematic effort, the actress plays four sides of the same woman in downtown Manhattan. Her co-star: Donna Karan's Spring 2010 Eldridge bag, which has convertible straps so it can be carried in four different ways.

Released to blogs and to YouTube in December, the two-minute film has been viewed more than 100,000 times; it's now viewable only at the Donna Karan Web site. "You need all these different avenues to get your message out there," says Patti Cohen, Donna Karan's global communications executive.

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour joined a very exclusive club on Thursday evening, when she was formally inducted into the American Society of Magazine Editors Hall of Fame during the National Magazine Awards, held at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. She became the 25th editor to be honored, joining Tina Brown, Helen Gurley Brown, Lewis Lapham, Clay Felker and Michael Kinsley.

When Patrick Wintour, The Guardian's political editor and Wintour's younger brother, was unable to arrive in New York due to the volcanic ash-related travel delays, he taped a message in front of London's Parliament. "I understand it's like the John Wayne award, for someone who's been around for a long time and hasn't won any prizes," he said, in that very dry British wit. "So it's very sweet of you to think of the old girl at this stage."

Vice magazine launched a new video series, "Munchies," in which celebrity chefs are hauled out of the kitchen and filmed while on the town. If the first episode is any indication, lots and lots of alcohol will be involved. (And as the series name suggests, maybe even some pot-smoking -- which upsets our family-paper standards so we'll just pretend we didn't hear that.)

Who says the media is dying? Vice magazine threw itself a $250,000 bash to celebrate its 15-year anniversary. But forget champagne, the publication staged a 1994-theme party with hardcore bands and tons of flannel, Elva Ramirez reports.

Glamour magazine hosted a panel last night on the future of women's fashion at the 92 Street Y. Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive moderated a lively discussion between designers Ashley Olsen, Isaac Mizrahi and journalist Robin Givhan. The conversation ranged from Michelle Obama's style influence to skinny models on the runway. While Givhan was sardonic and thoughtful, and Olsen geeked out for moment when discussing how excited she gets over branding, it was Mizrahi who stole the show. Herewith, some of the evening's most colorful quotes on fashion, culture and style.

Andy Warhol's early, hand-drawn illustrations don't garner as much attention as his iconic Pop art, but he was a regular contributor to Harper's Bazaar throughout the 1950s and '60s. Last night, the magazine unveiled "Andy Warhol: The Bazaar Years, 1951 - 1966″ in the Alexey Brodovitch Gallery at Hearst Tower.

"You think that no Warhol rock had been left unturned, but, frequently, in a Warhol retrospective there might be one illustration," said curator Charlie Scheips.
