Canadian-born magazine editor Bonnie Fuller resigned yesterday as executive vice-president and chief editorial director of American Media Inc., the New York-based publisher of the National Enquirer and Star magazines.

The company said Fuller will become editor-at-large at Star and serve as a consultant to AMI chairman David Pecker. American Media also publishes Shape and Men's Fitness magazines.

Fuller, who will step down today, said in a release that she is "proud of the significant achievements of American Media's celebrity and fitness brands over the past five years, and I am now ready for a new adventure."
