We get anonymous tips all the time. But usually when someone tips us off and asks us to include his info, he typically doesn’t still work for the company that he’s narking on.
Reader Warren sent us a link to his eBay page yesterday, revealing that he nabbed an old issue of Vogue with Lauren Weisberger on the masthead while an intern at the glossy. He also said in his email to us:
“If you do decide to post it as a story, my info is below in my signature.”
We assumed that meant he was no longer associated with Vogue. But we were wrong.
Apparently the college student was interning at GQ this semester, and he just got canned when his superiors found out about the stunt. In normal circumstances, we would feel bad for printing his name, but it seems like he might have wanted this to happen? Very strange.

This guy also has a blog where he advises not to steal from your editors while interning. :/
this dude also blogs nasty bits about the places he works and how much he hates it and talks complete shit about the other people he works with, other interns etc. and this is not an anonymous blog. burning bridges much? i used to laugh to myself about this kid but now im practically HYSTERICAL.
Evidently he is no longer on Twitter either. Very sad, he was so excited about this internship. Can’t imagine what he was thinking!?
In the words of the Bed Intruder song ” You are so dumb..”
Totally agree with Holly. I follow the guy on twitter mainly because he tweeted about his internship in the fashion world. It was clear he was working at Conde Nast, but he would regularly tweet insults about Teen Vogue and other CN publications. Plus, we aren’t talking about constructive criticism here–they were apparently meant to be snide. Sure, every internship and magazine has their downfalls, but save that stuff for the exit interview. You won’t get anywhere by blasting the company that YOU had the pleasure of working for.
I guess he was trying to create the next “The Devil Wears Prada”.
Too bad he didn’t pay attention to the subtext…”But His Hencemen Wear GAP”.
Well, I guess there goes your career in the fashion industry. Although I hear Kohl’s is looking for new stockboys.
When I interned for Cynthia Rowley who is soooo amazing, there was a girl who took samples off the rack and wore them the next day,then ran into Cynthia on the street wearing them. The crazy part is the fact that this girl didn’t think she was steeling she just thought it was ok and allowed ?!
OMG post the link PLEASE!!!

I don’t feel terribly bad for him. He likes to dish out “pearls of wisdom” and he is pretty arrogant (a little cocky for an 18 year old). Good luck “styling” a photoshoot and going to the oscar de la renta show. HA HA HA
Amazing, amazing response.
I’ll be searcing every Blimpie’s in the tri-state area for him.
Warren is now my intern so shut up.
Are you the wireimage photographer he is “styling” for. Lulz.
Yea, he started this past week and his first task was to organize my past issues of JUGGS.
Probably after you saw his riveting portfolio. The styling of that girls thighs is…. breathtaking. http://warrenwrightperiod.carbonmade.com/
His Twitter is linked on his blog:

This isn’t meant to be bitchy (but will serve as a warning for it anyway) but people like him who seems to be in fashion for the wrong reasons (fame whoring, creaming themselves over ‘names’) do make me hate the industry I’ve chosen to work in.
Wow about time this kid gets some flak, he somehow manages to get into really good fashion shows too even though he can’t even write coherent paragraphs on his blog? He also seems to never back up his weird attacks about stuff he doesn’t like, it clear that he just wants shock factor and attention. Way to get blacklisted from every fashion house and magazine. Kiss your chances at becoming creative director at vogue goodbye Warren.
Oh and he used to be chummy with Peter Davis from Paper Mag. He’s even written about warren before on his blog on the site.

Dumb to send the “story” of how he stole from CN during his internship, dumber that he clearly identified himself, rather than just shooting the cover of the mag, dumbest that he left a long trail of insulting and weird tweets and blogs behind him that round out the picture of his idiocy.
I can not believe this. How someone with such of poor taste and class like him was allowed to intern at Vogue?
He doesn’t deserve to work in fashion, as simple as that
If you’re that much of an imbecile, you don’t deserve that internship. I believe common sense is an understood requirement for such things.
