We already told you about AMI's financial woes (WWD reports that AMI lost $147 million on pubs like Star, Weekly World News and the National Enquirer) and Bonnie Fuller's affinity for the "missionary" position. And now we're hearing there's about to be an involuntary exodus.
Word on the street is that Star's looking to overcome their financial woes by ripping a page out of Time Inc. and MTV's playbooks and cutting jobs to keep their expense accounts open.
"Star is going to fire a bunch of people [today], heads up!" writes a tipster. "Star is making cuts everywhere. I can't remember, but it was something like 19 positions! Although that could be off…Headcount reductions here they come."
But how many cuts? And will this affect the senior staffers or just the underpaid/overworked underlings?

Though it may be a bit presumptuous to refer to this MySpace profile creating psycho as a "stalker" we haven't been in 10 feet of One Park Ave. in over a year, and we're scared.
Remember when we heard about Bonnie Fuller's fake MySpace profile yesterday? Well, this guy is the creator of it. His name is Shmuel "Shmuly" Tennenhaus, he's 25, and he wants to be on Star's reality show One Park Avenue.
And he's got the crazy eyes.
He's created Bonnie's MySpace page, a OneParkAvenue blog (the Jon Benet Ramsey screen shot kind of screams "psycho"), and the site DavidJPecker.com. For David Pecker's protection. Clearly.
He also sent 100 flowers to Star Price Productions, the company producing "One Park Avenue," along with a tale of a date gone bad in an attempt to showcase what sort of storylines he could bring to the reality show.
Ummm, yeah. We would have gone the "trying to get a job at Star" route. It's not like you can just roll out of bed one day and get a job at a top selling tabloid. (Some people get coffee for Bonnie for over a year before they can even land a front desk job at a crappy indy mag.) Who does this dude think he is?
Evidently, he doesn't think he's a maniac. He claims he would just leave AMI alone if they asked.
"Obviously if they would tell me 'Please stop contacting us,' I would drop it in a heartbeat," he said.
Bonnie's assistant was last seen calling Nat Ives for Crazy Eyes' phone number. And Googling (in a Google search tab) "restraining order."
