It's true: Absolute magazine will rise from the dead, courtesy of a Hour Media LLC, a small publishing house in the Detroit suburbs. Hour Media subsidiary New York Home & Lifestyles is the official buyer and might be planning its relaunch for the October/November issue; Absolute 2.0 may also share a staff with New York Home.

Three and a half months ago, the new owners of Absolute magazine — a lifestyle book for people wipe their asses with bills larger than you carry — suddenly shut it down. Since then, its staff has been scattering rather successfully to good gigs elsewhere. But now an interesting rumor shows up, out of the blue, in our inbox:

• As Fairchild is integrated into Conde Nast, portraits of the Fairchilds go, a fancy cafeteria arrives, and garlic is banned. [NYO]
• Absolute mag might live again, that to Realtor William B. May. At the very least, the already-completed next issue will be distributed. Oh, and that trademark thing the Post was all worried about last week? Not a big deal, May says. [NYP (second item)]
• ABC's Bob Woodruff still has a face for TV, his brother reports. The talking for TV? Less so. [NYDN]
• Judy Miller admits she was wrong! OK, the other Judy Miller, and about moving to New York. [Romenesko]
• Maer Roshan delays your plane. [Media Mob/NYO]
