Tabloid maven Bonnie Fuller, who — in a rather unexpected move — signed on as Editor -in-Chief of HollywoodLife.com (which was formerly Movieline’s Hollywood Life magazine before moving to an online-only format earlier this year), has hired New York Daily News ‘Gatecrasher’ reporter Laura Schreffler as her West Coast Bureau Chief.

And the tenacious future editrix has already hit the ground running, sending out this email to her L.A. contacts:

Hi all,
So I’m sure most of you have heard by now — I’m moving to LA and working with Bonnie Fuller as the West Coast Bureau Chief of Hollywood Life. That said, I’m hiring! If you have any suggestions can you send me names and emails to this address? Otherwise, you can have them contact me directly. As quickly as possible would be fab.
Thanks so much!!

The ailing website has been undergoing a renovation for months now, with the existing staff of (very witty) bloggers plugging away valiantly. The site is set to re-launch in November with a new design and editorial focus, “targeting style-minded women, ages 18-35.”
