I guess not a rumor but SJP on Elle's September cover...according to fashionweekdaily.com
Elle's Sweet September
VIP fête for SJP & Zee era begins!
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
(NEW YORK) While most people are still planning their July 4th BBQ’s, The Daily has learned that Elle is in the midst of planning an over-the-top, A-list only, Hamptons soirée to celebrate their September cover girl, Sarah Jessica Parker. The event is scheduled for July 28 and will take place at a private residence in the Hamptons (still to be decided). While the guest list could not be confirmed, it will only include designers and fash-insiders of the chicest caliber (Nicolas Ghesquière level). Creative director Joe Zee and fashion director Nina Garcia are spearheading the party, which will also mark the official beginning of the Zee era. Sources at Elle who have seen some pages of the September issue are raving over the look. The positive reviews couldn’t come at a better time—the magazine has seen the departure of nearly 18 staffers in the past six months, including, most recently, style director, Isabel Dupré and art director, Guillaume Bruneau. The September issue will also debut Garcia’s first-person column; think “Life with Andre” but more shopping-focused.
