As the art world mourns the death of Dash Snow, media outlets like the New York Post are using it as an opportunity to promote the paper. The gossipers at Page Six write, “Snow made collages that incorporate copies of The Post, which he told Page Six two years was his favorite paper.” Yea, his “favorite paper”…to jizz on.
It must have been a tough weekend for Page Sixers. The gossipers ran the same story back to back in Sunday’s and today’s paper about former Indochine owner Brian McNally stopping by to visit staff. To their credit, they did at least pen two different headlines: “Back In NY” and “Back From Asia.”
Okay. We lose. Perez Hilton was just kidding or something about Page Six’s Chris Wilson being the man who outed Richard Johnson’s DUI arrest. We are terrible about disseminating second hand facetiousness from inside a crowded bus and assumed that such a high-ranking gossip columnist like Perez Hilton with so many connections wouldn’t possibly be retarded enough to go throwing bombshells around like that without an immediate retraction, which may or may not have happened, etc. etc.
However, in fairness to everyone, if we do look at this from a half-assed culpability scorecard, here’s where we’re at:
Chris Wilson, Page Six: Not Guilty
Perez Hilton: Guilty
ANIMAL: Eh…fuck it. Guilty.
But our guilt comes with some valuable lessons learned today in how this putrid little interweb land really works.
To wit:
1. Gossipping about gossip columnists gossiping about other gossip columnists on online gossip columns is great for traffic.
2. Upholding people’s reputations no matter how insanely vapid they may be is essential.
3. Insignificant bitchiness is a game best played by other people.
We now return to our irregularly scheduled programming about things in this city that are 400 times more interesting and relevant. Kind of.

Gossip twinky Perez Hilton has to do a better job keeping his sources safe. On the media shuttle bus over to Saturday night’s MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles, another journalist (and ANIMAL’s source for the story) congratulated Perez on being the first to report Page Six editor Richard Johnson’s DUI arrest. Perez accepted the compliment, then boastfully told our mole that Chris Wilson, Page Six’s hangover-happy foot soldier, was who he received the tip from just a few hours after Johnson was released from the drunk tank.
Well, we’re not that surprised Perez would give up this type of information, but we were under impression that Page Six was supposed to be um, like a mafia family. If that’s the case, we expect Wilson to be taken for a ride up to a secluded wooded area in the next few hours. Or maybe Perez will be found bludgeoned to death in a hotel hideout? Either way, we’re assuming one of these gossip mobsters forgot about the whole concept of omertà .
Hopefully, we won’t have to wait until January to see how the Page Six saga finally ends…
