Laura Schroff, the associate publisher of PEOPLE StyleWatch, is jumping ship!

And as we try—but FAIL—to suppress the urge to CAPITALIZE words AT random (just like PEOPLE!) we can't help but FEEL sad that Laura has decided to MOVE to Florida—for PERSONAL reasons, that presumably include GOLFING and high-waisted PANTS.

Farewell, LAURA. We'll always remember you FOR doing whatever it is ASSOCIATE publishers do at In Style, Teen People and StyleWatch.

The full memo, AFTER the jump.

We interrupt our foray into an evening without you mensches to update you on one serious development, and a forgettable one.

First, MSNBC is dropping its Don Imus simulcast, reports TVNewser, validating the argument we made only to ourselves that even Steve Capus can't rationalize racist ad dollars.

And second, TeenPeople.com is folding, reports MediaWeek. It'll merge with papa People.com by the end of the month. Supposedly the brand is healthy – if it weren't, "we wouldn’t continue to use the brand" – so much so that Time Inc. can't support a print or online edition.

After a somewhat significant failure of his Office Pirates launch, the site's founding editor Mark Golin has been re-shuffled within Time Inc. Today, People.com announced that Golin will join the site, earning the highly prestigious title of "editor." He will work right along side Martha Nelson (People Group editor) to "oversee online editorial operations and site development."

Golin has a pretty packed resume, which includes a mix of both magazine and Web experience. And, no, not all of those publications had the same fate as Office Pirates.

But Golin made his real mark in magazines. After a decade at Rodale, he moved to Hearst Magazines' Cosmopolitan as deputy editor. In 1998, he became the editor in chief of Dennis Publishing's Maxim, where he led the U.S. laddie invasion with his sharp wit. He also was editor in chief of Condé Nast's Details.

He joins another former mag EIC, Angela Matusik (the second to occupy now defunct Budget Living's top spot) on the site's masthead. And if we wait just a few more months, maybe someone there will be able to secure Ariel Foxman a job.
