Sounds crazy for her to give up her plumb job as Vogue executive beauty director (since November 2005) to become publisher of Radar, Maer Roshan's (ex- Talk) celebrity-cum-lifestyle magazine/Web site that is scheduled to have its third incarnation in March ( radaronline.com launches in September).

"I missed fashion," says Rizzuto, who was head-deep into it as 2000-2004 Marie Claire publisher (she also led Fitness in 2004-2005), "and our premiere will be 'spring' fashion-centric. But more importantly, I was amazed by the loyalty to Maer. So many of his editors are returning. Jeff Bercovici gave up a good job at Women's Wear Daily [ Memo Pad columnist] to join. And, on the business side, ad director Anne Perton [ex- House & Garden ad director] rejoined. I told her the news, and she signed on right away. We would not have ta_ken these jobs if we did not believe in Radar's potential." Radar shutdown #1 (2004) came from lack of financing. Shutdown #2 (December 2005) came from chief financier Mort Zuckerman ( U.S. News & World Report/New York Daily News chairman) pulling out.

This time, says Katherine Rizzuto, "there's more love and nurturing. We have very modest goals that will keep us in business for a long time." Thus, Radar chairman/ceo Yusef Jackson (younger son of civil rights activist/1984-1988 presidential candidate Jesse Jackson; brother is Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr.) and coo David Aimone (ex- Golf Digest) have corralled very patient investors (names not known), who, says Rizzuto, "will finally give Maer the platform to display a 'fresh approach' that currently is not out there."
