Is Olivia Nuzzi's Vanity Fair gig already DOA? The rumor mill is churning, hinting that her West Coast editor position might be shorter than a Hollywood marriage.

Sources are whispering louder than a red-carpet reporter, suggesting that Nuzzi's time at the glossy might be coming to a screeching halt faster than you can say "cancel culture."

One insider sniped to Page Six, "It looks like they are getting rid of her." Another chimed in, "I will not be surprised if they drop Olivia." Ouch!

But the shade doesn't stop there. Whispers from within the Condé Nast empire paint a picture of an editor who's more phantom than front-and-center.

Allegedly, she hadn't even bothered to pick up her company-issued laptop. Can you imagine? And, according to sources, meetings were a no-go, and emails went unanswered.

One particularly catty source even claimed, "Even before this broke, she didn't have a single story in the next two issues of the magazine." Double ouch!

To add insult to injury, the one thing she supposedly "edited" for the Hollywood issue ended up on the cutting room floor. Talk about a rough start.

Of course, an excerpt from her tell-all book, “American Canto,” did make it into the magazine. Irony, anyone?

For those just tuning in, Nuzzi, formerly a star at New York Magazine, joined Vanity Fair as West Coast editor back in September. The move was supposed to be a career resurrection after the alleged affair surfaced and she left NY Mag.

Now, it seems that this second act might be cut short, just as her explosive new book hits shelves, detailing a dalliance with a certain presidential hopeful and the messy fallout.

And speaking of messy fallout, Nuzzi's ex-fiancé, Ryan Lizza, has been busy dishing out his own brand of "scorched earth" essays via Substack, filled with accusations that are, shall we say, juicy.

But fear not, Vanity Fair fans! Sources insist that this potential Nuzzi exit won't derail the magazine's revamp under the leadership of Mark Guiducci, the new editorial honcho.

Some are suggesting that Nuzzi's role was always more about appearances than actual editorial work. "It was always going to be a vanity title," one source quipped, dripping with sarcasm.

"She was never going to be an actual editor," another source piled on. "It was going to be all about her looking glam at the Oscars party."

Semafor's Max Tani reported that Vanity Fair might simply let Nuzzi's temporary contract expire, citing concerns among Condé Nast execs about the allegations swirling around her.

The word on the street is that staff members are "embarrassed" and want Nuzzi gone, pronto.

"Everyone wants her out, with the possible exception of Mark [Guiducci]," a source revealed. "Everyone is constantly texting about how embarrassing this is."

"Keeping her at this point would be suicidal," another source dramatically declared. Dramatic much?

However, hold your horses! Another source insists that Nuzzi's status hasn't changed, and no final decision has been made. "Everything is still unfolding," they claim. "They are still reviewing everything."

The New York Times reported that Nuzzi and Guiducci met at some swanky spots last July, bonding over magazine glamour and digital reinvention. Sounds like the start of a rom-com, doesn't it?

But apparently, Condé Nast execs only learned about the impending "American Canto" drama after they gave Guiducci the green light to hire her. Oops.

And let's not forget Lizza's claims about Nuzzi's alleged affair with former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford. This saga has more twists and turns than a Hollywood Hills road.
