Clay Chastain addicts rejoice! You'll finally have an inside track on his -- and at least three other people's -- inner thoughts when former Star gossip columnist Hearne Christopher Jr. starts his new column at Sun Publications in February. Publisher Steve Rose confirmed the deal in a phone interview today.
"I think he's cool," Rose says. "I think he's one of the best writers in Kansas City."
Along with his weekly column, Christopher will also get a blog. Thankfully, KC media will again have someone with the guts to weigh in on lower back tattoos.
Ever since Christopher was let go during the Star's last round of layoffs in November, there's been a lot of speculation about where he'd land. He said he'd start a blog, hinted that he might return to McClatchy, and was rumored to be a possible new PR man for Mayor Mark Funkhouser.
Well done, spiky-haired Skeletor. Good to know that in these times of mass media layoffs, the real journalists land on their feet.

I used to buy the Star out of a box everyday. EVERYDAY! I was already sick of Hearne, but Jenee! Don't get me started. I maybe buy one paper ever two weeks or so. I tried to like her.I tried to like her writing and her subjects. But the subject is always her and how wonderful and progressive and she's the most facsinating thing to happen to Kansas City. Who is she anyway? Where did she come from? Can't she go back there?
While I agree that he isn't "one of the best writers in Kansas City", he's Ernest Hemingway compared to Jenee "I Am Sooo FASCINATING" Osterheldt...and the Star kept her!!! Go figure.
""I think he's one of the best writers in Kansas City."
