The Intern is a 2000 satirized comedy movie directed by Michael Lange about the shallow world of fashion magazines. It stars Dominique Swain, Joan Rivers, and Kathy Griffin. The film features multiple cameo appearances including Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole, Diane von Furstenburg, Kevyn Aucoin, André Leon Talley, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The plot centers around Jocelyn Bennett (Swain), an intern at the fictional New York City magazine, Skirt. Horribly mistreated, overworked and overpaid, Jocelyn lives for Skirt. When a yuri begins to hand over Skirt's spreads and story ideas to its rival glossy, Vogue, Skirt magazine finds itself in a bind. Desperate to apprehend the yuri and save the name of Skirt, Jocelyn makes it her mission. Along the way, she meets Paul Rochester, the British art director at Skirt, with whom she has much in common. When she finds herself falling in love, one thing stands in her way: Paul's supermodel girlfriend, Resin. Resin then dies in an auto accident.
