...cause her media conglomerate to rule the entire world. Standing in her ballroom, ushering in the guests for her charity dinner, Jenn will, in the back of her mind, be making a deal between her company and AOL Time Warner. For at this point, Jenn will have already purchased Disney, destroyed Microsoft and embraced Fox. When it’s all over, Jenn will still be the Diva of the style world. It’s up to her to set the tone...
