The Five Worst '50 Hottest Bachelors'
Page Six Magazine is folding, but not before they stroke the egos of anyone who could maybe give them a job with this here list of NYC's 50 Hottest Bachelors. Five problematic entries:
Page Six Mag Writer Sez Editor Made Twin Mommies Look Bad
In yesterday's Page Six Magazine we met the evil women who buy themselves twin babies, for attention. Turns out these ladies weren't happy with how they were portrayed! And neither was the story's author!
Cuts at Page Six Magazine, More Changes at OK!
More layoffs in medialand: Page Six Magazine is now planning to go quarterly and 23 staffers have been laid off. Over at OK!, Kent Brownridge is out as general manager, and Sarah Ivens will take over as editor until a permanent replacement is found. [Gawker, Mediaweek]
Page Six Magazine Going Quarterly
Page Six Magazine, the glossy spinoff of the gossip column stuffed in your New York Post every weekend, is cutting back to just four issues a year. Because of money, yes.
Liam McMullan Has Already Mastered the Sniper Neg
We were hoping for an epic pratfall from Page Six mag's newest columnist Liam, 20-year-old stoner son of society photog Patrick McMullan—who replaced dimwitted model/publishing heiress Lydia Hearst after she quit in a backstage drama. Sadly (for us), young Liam's "Scenester Diaries" are slightly more coherent than…
McMullan to Page Six Mag
A replacement has been named for Lydia Hearst, who stepped down as a Page Six magazine columnist last week after slamming her family's media empire (and then improbably accusing the mag's editors of fabricating the column). It's professional socializer Liam McMullan, the son of nightlife photog Patrick McMullan and …
Lydia Hearst: Points for Trying
Lydia Hearst had a little run-in with Page Six magazine earlier this week: After bashing the media conglomerate founded by her great-grandfather in her weekly column, she accused the mag of making the item up and simply slapping her byline at the top. The heiress took her revenge last night. Sort of! Proving…
Lydia Hearst Claims Krispy Kreme Invented In New York
After it was revealed that she doesn't write her own column for Page Six Magazine, socialite and self-styled "Freelance Journalist" Lydia Hearst took to her Facebook to announce she would devote her "eighteen-hour days" to a "new beginning." What will this fresh new start for the model entail? She's not really sure,…
Lydia Gets Caught, Madonna Gets Pressured
♦ You didn't expect to hear that Lydia Hearst actually wrote that column in Page Six magazine by herself, did you? In response to Hearst's accusation that Page Six fabricated her latest column—the one in which she bashed her family's publishing company—the mag now says that Hearst's writing process involved being…
Lydia Hearst's Column Written For Her
We were thoroughly confused yesterday by the feud that erupted between model/heiress Lydia Hearst and the Post. Why would the tabloid's gossips alter Hearst's Page Six Magazine column to make it look like she was trashing her family, then release a column preview exposing their fabrication to the world?Something…
Lydia Hearst Steps Down
Heiress/self-proclaimed journalist Lydia Hearst is stepping down as a columnist for Page Six magazine. Why? She claims the column published in yesterday's issue—the one in which she criticizes her family's publishing company for throwing parties amid a recession—wasn't actually written by her. A more likely…
Chris Wilson Was Kidding About The Masturbating!
Chris Wilson has had to do some major backtracking since writing, in a Page Six Magazine point/counterpoint article two weeks ago, that he saw a passenger on an American Airlines flight "either pleasuring himself to online porn, or whittling something under his blanket." The deputy Maxim editor was just joking people!…
"It's very rarely that I open Us Weekly and see myself in it. And that's the way I like it."
From Ivanka Trump's cover interview in the forthcoming issue of Page Six Magazine, which is a very highbrow publication. [Cover Awards]
Why Follieri's Scam Was Different
Joshua David Stein and Page Six Magazine got lucky this week—con man and Anne Hathaway-dater Raffaello Follieri (at left, with Bill Clinton) was arrested just as Stein's long profile of him went to press! It's an entertaining read, and while it answers lots of questions about how Follieri's big con worked, it raises a…
Anne Hathaway's Ex Linked To "Waste Management"
Gawker's own Josh Stein has a big article coming out in Page Six Magazine Sunday about Anne Hathaway's scuzzyupstanding ex-boyfriend, Italian con mangentleman philanthropist Rafaello Follieri. The Post gave a brief preview of the article today, stating that Follieri Group vice president Vincent Ponte used to co-own of…
Page Six Mag: African Suffering Is Trendy. Hey Look, Diamonds!
Page Six Magazine's Kelly Killoren Bensimon, your source for both trendsetting woman-about-town news and the latest dispatches from poverty-ravaged Africa, unspins the saga of her almost-trip to the Third World in her column this past weekend: "Last week I was supposed to go to South Africa with the group CC Africa,…
Democrats Losing the Self-Important Socialite Vote
Page Six Magazine continues to publish the ramblings of Lydia Hearst and we love them for it! This week's installment of The Hearst Chronicles finds the publishing heiress weighing in on the presidential race. The great-granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst (who has dropped dad's last name, Shaw, faster than she…
Gawker Alum Report
Former Gawker editor Joshua David Stein's Page Six Magazine story on the unhappy end of his not-quite-secret romantic relationship with former Gawker editor Emily Gould leaves neither of them looking particularly mature. It is, poetically, not available online. The best recap may be this one, from Karen, an "avid…
