Hide the interns! Rolling Stone has a new publisher. Jann Wenner wrangled Tim Castilli, who will leave his post as the associate publisher of Maxim and was stomping over at Ziff Davis before that.

In the nick of the 1,000th issue time (seriously, this issue isn’t out yet? Haven’t we been talking about it for like five months now?) Castili will replace office schmoozer Steve DeLuca. Tim, who will be picking up the mag when it’s packed to the brim with 104 ad pages, is currently practicing his pencil sharpening skills.

Maybe, if he’s lucky, he’ll even be able to keep his invitation to the regrettably smaller May 4th 1000th issue party at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
