Kent Brownridge's acquisition of the Felix Dennis lad titles is finally complete. As mentioned before, Stuff will be folded into Maxim. No word yet on layoffs or whether they're shopping Maxim editor Jimmy Jellinek's job, but the press release, which you can find below, does indicate that stuffmagazine.com "will continue to be a digital destination," presumably because there are enough people who are still willing to jerk off to it.

New York, NY, August 15, 2007 - Quadrangle Capital Partners II LP, a private equity fund focused on the media and communications industries, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Dennis Publishing, Inc. Longtime media executive, Kent Brownridge, will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the newly renamed company, Alpha Media Group Inc.

"Alpha Media Group's assets are among the best in the publishing industry," said Brownridge. "The magazines and websites are uniquely positioned among the young male demographic and are extremely attractive platforms for advertisers. I am particularly pleased to be partnering with Quadrangle, whose experience and expertise in the media industry is unmatched."

Alpha Media Group also announced today that Stuff magazine, launched in 1998, will cease publication after the October issue—it will then appear as a regular section in Maxim magazine.

"Stuff magazine is a clear and purposeful brand that will continue to reach its audience through Maxim," said Brownridge.
