The Shambling Corpse, Part III
There’s news from, of all places, [Women's Wear Daily], that Radar “The Little Magazine That Couldn’t” will be returning for its third ghastly incarnation. Oi vey. This is becoming very Fitzcarraldo. Or Dawn of the Dead, take your pick. According to the women’s wear gossip, [radaronline.com] — now frozen in a time warp since December of last year and still featuring up to the minute news about… Matthew Perry — will return within a matter of weeks to be followed by a return of the celebrity-sniffing rag to newsstands by September or October.
Supposedly Ron Burkle is still interested in funding it, and, considering his recent sordid dust up with the fine folks at Page Six, he may be just the fellow to re-animate the zombie magazine. Until its next inevitable demise.

[...] Radar Might Make a Third Comeback A WWD article says that Radar magazine is going to make a comeback. First the Radar Online website, which has not been updated since 2005, will return. Then the print magazine will possibly relaunch in September or October. You can stop asking if Maer Roshan will ever restart Radar. He already has, albeit in a somewhat more modest form. According to two sources, Roshan has rented an office in Manhattan and hired at least three staffers. One source said Radaronline.com will be up and running again in a month or so. A revival of the print version is further off; despite talk about the next edition appearing in September or October, the source said it will almost certainly be later than that. Radar did not last very long its second time around so its surprising they would try the print edition a third time. The online version makes more sense. More coverage at BlogNYC, Jossip, Diary of a Rat and Gawker. [...]

You seem to have your tit in a wringer over Radar and Gawker. What happened, didn’t get invited to the party?
