< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Meet The Hills' Newest Alpha Intern DADDY'S GIRL Weiss While we expect a certain level of pretense from fashion editors, an intern so fluent in couture snobbery boggles the mind. Furthermore, we cannot remember a Condé Nast intern in recent history who has been allowed to speak to the press, appear in a magazine spread, and pose in national photo ops with top fashion editors. Well, Bee Shaffer aside. (For the record, Teen Vogue wouldn't let Weiss speak to Radar when we called for comment.) Something is up with Emily Weiss. And we intend to get to the bottom of it. After the jump, a rundown of what we know so far about the pampered, oh-so-strenuous life of the latest Teen Vogue drone. • The girl has money. In 2005, during her sophomore year at NYU, she proudly boasted about her $1,000 Balenciaga bag. Weiss divulged the purchase to Bloomberg News for a story about materialism, which stated that her "mother and father paid the bill" and that she "became serious about purses in the ninth grade with a $300 Louis Vuitton shoulder bag." • From the same article, we learn that at age 20 she had her own apartment on the Lower East Side and that her major at NYU is "studio art." We now know how she handles those "intense 18 credits" at school and finds the time to shill for MTV. • Weiss appeared in a shopping spread for Teen Vogue in 2005, which she discussed in a USA Today article that describes her as "thin and pretty." She told reporters, "women's magazines are fantastical and highly stylized." • She has been at Teen Vogue for over a year, balancing a steady gig there with one day per week at Chanel. Okay, who does daddy know? (tips@radaronline.com, AIM: TipRadar) Photo: Patrick McMullan I've sold such bags to rich women. Yet, they all end up rotting in someone's basement or attic. Posted by: priestess on February 14, 2007 6:40 PM What a tragic end for those rich women! Posted by: StillWorking on February 14, 2007 7:12 PM Another interesting fact: she lives with 3 total douchebags from the south. I think one of them is from West Virginia - Gross! Posted by: fratguy22 on February 15, 2007 1:32 PM I live with this girl and it an absolute joy. She helps me pick out my outfits before hitting the club scene, gives me relationship advice and even shops with me. Enough with jealous comments,Emily is not a just a roommate she is a great gal pal. Posted by: thenritze on February 15, 2007 5:09 PM Advertisement I banged her, wasnt that great Posted by: bterrell on February 15, 2007 5:14 PM Naturally, all ye who who are jealous, cynical and Have No Life are eager to swoop down upon the Divine Ms. Em, based on a unidimensional caricature of her (thanks to careful editing)on a stunningly dull reality show. The fact is, while Emily Weiss did not grow up poor here in Wilton, CT, she DID grow up extraordinarily hardworking, earnest, enthusiastic, and kindhearted. She's radiated style and ambition since she was a 10-year-old (yeah,10) designing and making jewelry, and hawking it herself at local crafts fairs. This girl's been dilligently cultivating contacts ON HER OWN since she was in high school; the pricey handbags may come from Daddy, but the talent, guts and determination to succeed are all hers. She is also extraordinarily generous (with her contacts and her time) with other young women interested in the fashion industry. Hate to disappoint you, haterz - but this girl's decent, sweet, smart and - unlike the reality show - real. Posted by: soooNOTct on February 17, 2007 6:25 PM For someone so young, she came across as having a lot of savvy. I have a feeling we will be hearing more from Emily in the future!
