Helen Gurley Brown, former editor, Cosmopolitan: “I respect Rosie as a performer, and like her as a person, but I am not sure she should be editing any magazine.”

Trenton Straube, editor, HX: “We’d like to see how Leigh Bowery and Boy George have influenced Rosie’s take on makeup. So, Allure.”
Lady Bunny, drag queen: “I didn’t even know she’d ever edited a magazine. I guess I’d have to pick one I’d want closed. Certainly nothing about women’s fashion.”
