Hearne's Back!
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.
