As revealed in Media Week (21-28 November) Heat's website is currently under development, with Heat editor-in-chief Mark Frith and Rebekah Billingsley, digital business director for Emap Entertainment, supervising the project.
Linley is a former deputy editor of Heat magazine. In his new role he will report to Frith.
Celebrity weekly rival Now, published by IPC Media, launched a website in August, at nowmagazine.co.uk.
Meanwhile, with signs that First, launched earlier this year, is struggling to find a market, Emap has brought in Closer editor Jane Johnson to replace Linley.
Johnson will become editorial director of First on a six month secondment and search for an editor to replace Linley during that time.
Closer deputy editor Lisa Burrow moves up to acting editor in Johnson's absence.
