Bonnie Fuller Steps Down at AMI

Bonnie Fuller, whose newsstand instincts helped shape the celebrity weekly category, is stepping down from her job as senior vice president and editorial director of American Media Inc., the company has announced. "I am proud of the significant achievements of American Media's celebrity and fitness brands over the past five years, and I am now ready for a new adventure," she said in a statement.

Though she still has a year left on her three-year, $2 million-a-year contract, Fuller, who joined AMI in July 2003, will move into a new role as a consultant as of tomorrow. She'll also remain on the masthead of Star as an editor-at-large.

It was largely Star that brought Fuller to AMI in the first place. Chairman David Pecker hired her to replicate her phenomenal success at Us Weekly, where she took a failing title and turned it into a newsstand hit in a matter of weeks. Fuller remade Star from a newsprint tabloid into a glossy, but never recaptured the magic touch she'd shown at Us.
