How upset is Jane Pratt over the demise of the magazine that bore her name? Maybe not as much as you'd expect.

"It doesn't feel like the magazine I launched is shutting down," says Pratt, who now hosts a show for Sirius Satellite Radio. "For quite a while, and increasingly so, I've looked at the magazine as something very separate from me and from what I started out to do. There were still glimmers of things I started out to do. And I'm not saying what I was doing was necessarily better, but it definitely changed quite a bit. I'm sad for the people there, for sure."

Might she be feeling just a touch of schadenfreude, considering the way she was, let us say, eased out (Pratt has always insisted it was entirely her choice to leave, other accounts notwithstanding) and, implicitly, blamed for the magazine's failure to prosper up to that point?

"No, I don't really feel vindicated," she says. "A much more overwhelming emotion I have is a sadness that this thing I worked so hard and so long to build is not around anymore."

"Does it make me feel like they could've tried harder to keep me around? Maybe. I don't think it was a foregone conclusion when I left that it would go under. Some people thought so, but I didn't. I think it could've been done in such a way that it could've really thrived. For example, getting somebody in there who was quite a bit younger, living the lifestyle, who would breathe fresh energy into it, and maybe keep me connected to the extent that I could still do some of the press for it."

"I just had that conversation with someone a couple nights ago, when we were walking home from dinner. He said, 'I'm surprised Jane's still around.' People would say that to me all the time. 'Wouldn't it be great if it would just go away?' But I didn't think so! I wanted it to get better and stay around forever."
