I knew that Blender magazine was too good to be true. Just as soon as I subscribe to the magazine and get my first issue, this Kelly Clarkson one, they go under. They are closing their doors and laying off 30 people. The staff was told this morning. Alpha Media Group still has one magazine left under their name, Maxim. That’s where the people left from Blender will go. The last issue of Blender will be the current issue, April 2009.

CEO Stephen Duggan commented, “Since 2001, Blender has provided unmatched music coverage and entertainment news in its unique voice to a profoundly dedicated audience of music enthusiasts. We are particularly grateful to the sales team and to the tremendously talented editorial staff for their hard work and commitment to Blender.”

That really is too bad. I was enjoying the thought of catching up on my music gossip since I am loving the headline they have on the cover about Lady Gaga, “I have unprotected sex with my songs.” Who can make that stuff up? I’ll miss you Blender.
