SATANIC SUSPECT
July 10, 2006 -- THE devil wears Prada, but her assistant bears the pitchfork. The real villainess in the movie, the character played brilliantly by Emily Blunt, is based on a former senior assistant depicted in Lauren Weisberger's novel. The unidentified aide is "a vindictive and malcontent person determined to make everyones' lives as miserable as hers," said an insider. After the assistant's stint at Vogue, she turned to freelance. And in a great bit of irony, one of her first jobs was - for Prada.
