    THE GUTS, get the glory. New York Press is seeking editorial interns. We guarantee real experience, long hours and candy on most Friday afternoons. Rest assured, you'll be in good company. Our past interns include:

    FRED BERRY Before he was ordained a Baptist minister but after making his name on What's Happening!, Fred "Rerun" Berry had a short career in alt-weekly journalism. As part of an ill-fated intern-exchange program with the defunct Hollywood Sniffer, Berry worked with us during the summer of 1981. Placing him on the dessert beat is our biggest regret, as it exacerbated his diabetes and prompted an early resignation. Rerun is missed. Over and over again.

    JOEL RIFKIN Prior to dropping out of Nassau Community College in 1984, this budding photographer spent a semester assisting New York Press photo editor Helmut Newton, recently hired to launch New York ImPress, our short-lived monthly celebrity weddings glossy. Though Rifkin was unkempt and often rude, we found his "Last night I strangled a prostitute on the way to the office" routine kind of funny, if repetitive.

    HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF YORK Andy came to us after his divorce from Fergie in 1996, a 36-year-old royal searching for purpose in a world gone mad. His witty imitations of the Danish Royal family brought tears of laughter to our staff, but unfortunately, his love of heroin and inability to make deadlines brought his budding journalism career to an end. On the bright side, his time with us forms the basis of the new romantic comedy, The Prince and Me, proving once again that good things come to those born of privilege.

    KEVIN MICHAEL ALLIN Though better known by his stage name, GG Allin, we called him K-Mike. Always bursting with enthusiasm, and a good sport when ribbed for wearing the same bow-tie every day, his time with us came to a close when we prodded him into a demonstration of his moonlighting performance gig.

    E. JEAN CARROLL As the author of Mr. Right, Right Now!, E. Jean is well on her way to becoming this year's top exploiter of feminine insecurity. Being a former research intern, no one can deny the truth behind her advice for single women. Take, for instance: "Be sure to sit at the [up-scale sports] bar with a big basket of french fries!" and "Hire a PR agent to get your name in the papers." Oh, E. Jean, you're golden!
