The Feds finally cleared American Media to take over Us Weekly. James Heindenry will be the new editor-in-chief, replacing Michael Steele, American Media Chief Executive David Pecker revealed Tuesday.

Heindenry and AMI Chief Content Officer Dylan Howard appeared in the Us Weekly offices on Sixth Avenue as the anxious staff was prepared to start moving to AMI’s downtown offices on Water Street by the end of the week.

Sources say Heindenry is going to do triple duty — keeping the editor-in-chief responsibilities of Star and OK!.
