Kent Brownridge Named GM for OK! USA: Will Bonnie Fuller Follow?
Last week, Kent Brownridge was suddenly gone from his post at Alpha Media.
This week he has inked a deal to serve as GM for OK! Magazine.
It’s a huge challenge but a terribly exciting one,” Brownridge tells the Post. “In a terrible year for the industry, these guys are up on all fronts.
According to Brownridge, he plans on keeping current Publisher Tom Morrisey and Editor Sarah Ivens.
But, many will soon question if his former colleague Bonnie Fuller will make a return to the celebrity weekly space in some capacity.
When Bonnie left American Media, Brownrigde who famously worked with Fuller at Us Weekly, was efusive with his praise saying:
“Bonnie has gotten a bad rap,” Brownridge told Portfolio. “Everywhere she’s gone she’s improved where they were measurably in a short period of time. We ought to be giving her a lifetime achievement award.”
He compared here to which famous football coach?
Brownridge also said, “She’s the Bill Parcells of publishing. Just like Parcells, everywhere she goes she pisses people off, but everywhere she goes she wins.”
Time will tell. But don’t be surprised if Bonnie becomes involved in some capacity - especially now that Kent is back in the celebrity weekly game.
