Movieline Taps Defamer Writers For Spring Relaunch

Entertainment magazine Movieline announced today that it will relaunch this spring as a “Web portal covering all things Hollywood,” written by the trio of editors who used to run Defamer.com, the Hollywood gossip site that was folded into parent company Gawker Media’s flagship Gawker.com blog by company head Nick Denton last week. Defamer’s three writers, Seth Abramovitch, S.T. VanAirsdale, and Kyle Buchanan, have been hired full-time by Movieline’s parent company Mail.com Media Corporation to provide the new portal with “original content, up-to-the-minute blogs, reviews and high-profile interviews.”
