Clarification: An April 6 story in Memo Pad about celebrity weekly Star laying off two employees in its fashion department, fashion director Joni Cohen and marketing assistant Josh Liebman, said fashion publicists were informed of the move via an e-mail, which stated that, as of April 4, "There will no longer be fashion in Star or a Star fashion department." That e-mail was sent by Cohen from her Star e-mail account prior to her departure, but was not an official statement from Star or its parent company, American Media Inc., an AMI spokesman said.
