A Truly Scary Halloween for 'Radar,' and Media
Radar, the serially-unlucky pop culture magazine where I used to work, had its final party last night at Citrine in Manhattan. It was conceived as a Halloween party but turned into a de facto wake after Radar's owners pulled the plug last Friday and sold off the website to American Media, home of the National Enquirer, which has already started making it over as a poor man's TMZ.
I stayed just long enough to catch the entrance of Maer Roshan, Radar's editor in chief and driving force, and his boyfriend, actor Matt Dickinson, who wore what was easily the night's best costume: A bristly fake mustache, devil-red face paint and a cigar, along with a rubber raven whose beak he used to jab the faces of anyone within reach. "I'm David Pecker!" he said.
