Page Sixer Paula Froelich has a book coming out called Mercury in Retrograde ("chick lit"). The current cover, pictured, is rather serene. But the original cover, pictured below, was more DYNAMIC:
Liz Smith reports:
Paula Froelich's debut novel, Mercury in Retrograde, doesn't come out until June, but the Page Six gossip already has MySpace and Twitter accounts set up for two of the characters in the book, along with illustrations by Marisa Acocella Marchetto. And they're both a bit fiesty! One recent tweet from "society writer"…
In an apparent attempt to ingratiate themselves with Page Six's Paula Froelich, some PR firm made a video offering Froelich's dog's stud services for $3,500 per hour. But Karl, the dog, is actually ball-less.
It's a big day for birthdays: Ivanka Trump turns 27 today. (Hope Jared got you something nice!) Page Six's Paula Froelich is 35. Barneys creative director Simon Doonan is 56. The most powerful literary agent in the biz, Binky Urban, is celebrating her 62nd. Fashion photographer Mario Testino is 54. NBC News' Andrea…
So Page Six—the oft-vicious Murdoch-owned gossip sheet—occasionally goes after MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann, partly because Olbermann's kind of an easy target but mostly because Olbermann wages nightly war on all of Murdoch's News Corp. But you knew that. Recently, when NBC's Tim Russert died, Olbermann tried to…
Keith Olbermann's feud with members of Rupert Murdoch's media empire seems to be expanding. Last night, Page Six's Paula Froelich called the MSNBC talk show host to comment on a story which suggested Olbermann was jockeying with Chris Matthews for Tim Russert's job as the host of Meet the Press; worse was that the…
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is "as infantile as he is narcissistic" and suffers from "a severe case of malignant self-obsession." So says Paula Froelich of Page Six, named last night by the ranty MSNBC host as "worst person in the world" for a naughty gossip item she was running.
So the Post has posted the Page Six item Keith Olbermann was so worked up about yesterday, and it does indeed say Hardball host Chris Matthews "seemed" to be talking about a strategy for landing Tim Russert's job at a memorial event for the NBC personality, and that Olbermann is threatening to quit if he doesn't get…
Keith Olbermann's feud with Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp. media properties reached a bitter new milestone today when the MSNBC Countdown host smacked Murdoch's Post for a forthcoming gossip item that will, he said, allege that fellow MSNBC-er Chris Matthews was jockeying to succeed Tim Russert as host of Meet The…
Popular Page Six gossip hack Paula Froelich had a party thrown in her honor last night, complete with her own signature cocktail: the IZZE FROLIC. Awww! She sent an email to all of her contacts saying, "It seems someone has decided to name a drink after me. I think we can use it as a good excuse to go play." But…
Let's put aside any judgment on the literary qualities of Sloane Crosley's collection of essays, I Was Told There'd Be Cake. One talent is beyond dispute: the author, a book publicist in her day job, is one of publishing's most expert promoters. Crosley has secured interviews and profiles which must make writers with…
Super-famous New Yorker writer and liar Malcolm Gladwell isn't the only reporter who tried to sneak funny bits of prose into his articles for a respected newspaper. (Except didn't he not do that? I'm confused.) Anyhoo, it's a fun old game to play, and we used to play it Page Six. My fellow former Sixer Chris Wilson…
Formerly Richard Johnson's right-hand at the New York Post's "Page Six", Froelich is the author of the bestselling 2009 novel, Mercury in Retrograde.
One of those little people storming the Post's newsroom last night was Robin Sherwood, who almost died at a party in Miami last week but was rescued by Paris Hilton. "Wee-man took me out partying for three days straight and I forgot to do my dialysis, so I kind of blacked out," the damaged-kidneyed little guy told…
From the mailbag: Page Sixer "Paula Froelich just walked through the Post's newsroom with two seemingly drunk midgets with red face paint and green wigs, dressed as Oompah Loompahs. Good times."
In a strange reversal, today Page Six published the answers to a blogger's blind item. And not only does Page Six say that former CNN gay hottie Thomas Roberts is the hot anchor with the nudie sex-seeking Manhunt profile (that's SFW, just shirtless shots), but they describe it as "another embarrassment" for tabloid…
Bratz, "an unwitting and witless critique of American consumerism run amok, does not star Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie," says the Post's Lou Lumenick. It does, however, feature a cameo from Page Six gabber Paula Froelich, who goes unmentioned in the paper's pan of the "excruciatingly inane high-school…
Last night we headed up to the Four Seasons restaurant to crash the book party of Gawker's very own book of the month, Holly Peterson's The Manny. Strangely, we weren't allowed in! Two young PR girls manning the table in the lobby said, "Sorrrrrry, no press allowed." Outside we kept company with a gruff CNBC TV crew…
"Maybe there wasn't room for both of us in the big city when we were both gossip columnists, but I had moved on... I wanted to say I'm sorry," wrote former gossip columnist turned Hampton Style editor Deb Schoeneman in a soul-searching article in March's Playboy. She was referring to her feud with Page Sixer Paula…
We thought there might be some sort of gossipland Page Six-Radar Freundschaft society. After all, Radar's #2, Chris Tennant, was a Page Six freelancer for some time. Apparently, no! This morning's P6 feels fit to savage the mag over a six-minute voicemail they received, in which an "insipid brainstorming session was…
