Hiring OK! magazine Ruth Hilton as his West Coast editor wasn't the only housecleaning move newly installed Maxim EIC Jim Kaminsky made this weekend: According to sources, the lad mag's PR shill-cum-film critic Peter Hammond, who never met a BRAVURA PIECE OF FILMMAKING! that didn't leave him BREATHLESS!, has been canned.
Hammond, as has been noted elsewhere, was pretty much the definition of a "tool" in his capacity at Maxim, where he continually gave universally decried flicks glowing reviews in order to get his name splashed across newspaper ads. (Of 2007 Jennifer Lopez-Marc Anthony abomination El Cantante, which received a 23 percent approval on Rotten Tomatoes, Hammond writes, "It's hot stuff! Lopez and Anthony set off fireworks.")
