Candace Trunzo, the editor-in-chief of American Media Inc.’s Star magazine since 2007, was given the boot on Monday night. CEO David Pecker will replace her with Radar Online editor David Perel, an AMI veteran who spent most of his 25-year tenure with the company at the National Enquirer.

To take over the vacant spot at Radar, AMI hired Palm Beach Post gossip column editor Jose Lambiet, who will run the website as its executive editor from Hollywood.
