Is Condé Nast in Talks to Buy Rolling Stone?

Near the end of an otherwise unremarkable interview with Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner (both of whom have developed what I'll refer to henceforth as "caricature coifs") about an upcoming Hunter S. Thompson documentary, PBS' Charlie Rose slipped in this little question, rather nonchalantly I might add:

“So what's this story that Condé Nast wants to buy Rolling Stone?”

Here’s the video:

Fast-forward to 32:10 to hear their coy, befuddled yet uncomfortable responses.

I e-mailed Maurie Perl at Condé Nast for comment. We'll see if there is one.

If true, though, this would fall under the "developing" tag, and a big one at that.

What the hell is up with Graydon Carter's hair???? Does he not look in the mirror? Does his wife not share the truth with him? Caricature coif, indeed!
