Getcha Some Gooch

guccione.bmpHot news from the Revolving Door Newsletter:

Just in case you’ve been fretting about the fates of all those grizzled tabloid hacks left behind in South Florida now that The National Enquirer has pulled up stakes and moved to New York, worry no longer: the Gucciones have arrived. In one of magazine publishing’s stranger recent developments, Bob Guccione Sr. (Penthouse) and Bob Guccione Jr. (Spin, Gear) have reconciled after a 17-year estrangement and intend to relaunch Omni,
Guccione Sr.’s respected-but-defunct science magazine, in South Florida. The Miami Herald reports the pair “are planning to launch national magazines dealing with arts and entertainment.” Considering that the Gooches have never launched a magazine together before (Gooch Sr. merely put up the early money for Spin) it should be a wild ride for whoever signs up.
