‘Daily News’ to Start New Gossip Column on Sunday
After over a year without a weekend-only gossip column, the Daily News is going to launch "Full Disclosure With Jo Piazza" on Sunday, we hear.* Running a half-page once a week, the column will cover the same kind of dish and celebrity news as the tabloid's current columns, "Rush & Molloy" and Ben Widdicombe's "Gatecrasher." Piazza, whom you may remember as the girl who got hit on by a married Nick Lachey at the Super Bowl in 2005, has been covering celebrities since her days as a legwoman for "Rush & Molloy" three years ago. She also has a Fashion Week blog and column. Previous weekend columnists for the tab, which has tested a handful out to compete with "Page Six"'s seven-day coverage, have included Widdicombe and Michael Gross. We think this is good news, because it's okay for you to not read us for your latest news and gossip on the weekends. After all, you need to read about Britney Spears sometime. *We hear this because Jo has totally been besties with Daily Intel editor Chris since the day Jo body-slammed her way past a doorman at Bungalow 8 to get into Chris's birthday party in 2004, earning his respect forever.

Jared Paul Stern Still Exists
Every once in a while, when we see someone wearing clothes that have a skull-and-crossbones symbol on them (okay, so every day), we wonder whatever happened to Jared Paul Stern. He was the "Page Six" reporter who allegedly tried to extort Ron Burkle, and then got busted when Burkle turned tapes of their meetings over to authorities. JPS, who created the clothing line Skull and Bones (only to be outdone by everyone from Mark Ecko to Ralph Lauren), was fired from "Page Six," and then wrote a book about the experience. Sadly, the book was never picked up, and we haven't heard from him since. But today, WWD lets us know what he's been up to. Since November, he's been blogging for Kempt, a men's fashion Website. He covers liquor, luxury, and famous dudes. Kind of like what he did at "Page Six," except with even more freedom to glorify men and objectify women. Stern says that the lawsuit he filed against Burkle, which also included the Daily News and Bill and Hillary Clinton, is still pending. "It's on autopilot," he told WWD. "These things take a while to go through the courts system." We can only assume the suit is hopelessly outdated. Silly Jared, don't you know Burkle and the Clintons broke up?

Anna Wintour's Lips, Still Plump and Juicy
We're so glad that "Page Six" ran an item today about Anna Wintour's lips, because it allows us to run one of our favorite photo comparisons that we've ever done: La Anna before and during Milan Fashion Week this fall. It was during this most recent fashion-show season that fashionistas began sniping to us that there was something different about the iconic Vogue editor. Even though we still can't really tell if anything's changed, there's something about her exposed face that's just mesmerizing, huh? Anyway, if "Page Six" says there's a story, it must be so. (You know, it's polite to laugh when people make a joke…) Of course, today the Post also picked up on our October item about Gordon Brown and Bob Shrum, but those pictures aren't nearly as fun to look at.

PageSix.com Launches With Glitter, Giddiness, Gobbledygook
"Page Six" has made a new move in its aggressive push to take over the world and make it canoodley. They've launched the new version of PageSix.com! The site is slick, a little bit more glamorous, and a lot more bloggy. They've got feeds from other gossip sites, a running blog (which, so far, seems to have mostly party pictures and items from the print version of the column), and even Gawker Stalker Maps. So who are the people behind this massive effort? They've got bios! We've selected the most important lines from their personal pages, and it turns out they chose to announce themselves to the world in special, special ways: • Jana Winter is a fiery reporter with a love of murder and mayhem (and dirty vodka martinis) and a knack for finding — then talking her way out of — trouble.

Lance Armstrong Backpedals Over All Our Fun
In today's "Page Six," Lance Armstrong breaks his silence over his alleged Ashley Olsen romance, and tells the tabloid that "Ashley Olsen and I are strictly friends. We have hung out amongst other friends, and she strikes me as a nice, smart lady." [Ed. note: Wait, Lance uses the word "amongst"?] The column also says that Lance's ex, Sheryl Crow, is "hitting back at a Life & Style report about her supposedly being upset over Armstrong's relationship with Olsen." So she wasn't at all hitting back at "Page Six," who reprinted the Life & Style item yesterday with the headline "JUST TOO YOUNG"? It should be noted that she's probably also hitting back at Daily Intel, because we linked to the "Page Six" story, too. But that's because we are completely obsessed with the idea of Lance and Ashley together, and its awkward, lovely, skinny spectacle will still burn in our hearts. At least, until Mary-Kate starts dating Barry Bonds. Which we expect any minute now. Lance Responds [NYP] Earlier: Daily Intel's brief, beautiful coverage of Asstrong

A Model Breaks Nello's Heart, Umbrella
Oh, Nello Balan. It's almost as if you want to be in "Page Six" once a week. This time, the Upper East Side restaurateur/columnist briber is caught in a dramatic war of words and lawsuits with an unknown model named Le Call over an umbrella. That's right, an umbrella. Granted, it's a $1,000 limited-edition Jean Paul Gaultier leather number, but an umbrella nonetheless. "Stop behaving like a boulevardier [street person] and a petite voleuse [petty thief]," Balan (awesomely) told Le Call. "You don't give me the umbrella, I sue you." Balan indeed eventually hired a lawyer, at which point Le Call then returned the umbrella in question, but it was BROKEN. All hell then broke loose, "Page Six" was called, and Balan's lawyer heads to court today to sue for "an act of disinterested malevolence, intentional infliction of mental distress, willful destruction of property, and whatever else [he] can think of." All of which leads us to the obvious question: a leather umbrella? Really? MODEL RAINS ON NELLO UMBRELLA [NYP] Related: Le Call and Ciara Christensen, Models [NYM]

Meet Your ‘Six in the City’ Columnist, Faran Krentcil
We've been following the action behind the search for a writer of Page Six the Magazine's "Six in the City" column for a couple of months, and were interested to see their final choice of scribe was Faran Krentcil, writer of the Fashionista.com blog. Faran has been running around fashion parties for years now, ever since she started working at Fashion Week Daily, and we've always suspected she had a little something of a Carrie Bradshaw complex. And lo and behold, witness her introductory column:
The problem with clichés is they're usually true. Case in point: Me, the blonde, curly-haired girl writing tales of my "fabulous" life. You know what to expect – I breakfast at Tiffany's sans carbs, I meet devils in Prada, and then I report back to you. Except, of course, it's not that easy. Celebrities aren't just like us. And socialites are sometimes just girls who get high in high heels. But there's some gorgeousness, too, the kind that makes you live in NYC in the first place. It's my job to find it and serve it up to you.
Oh dear. You can just hear Sarah Jessica Parker's voice slowly reading that out loud, straining to make it sound wise, or at least world-weary. (Disclosure, Krentcil has contributed to nymag.com's Best Bets feature.) Since the column isn't available online, we've reproduced the rest of it for you after the jump. It only gets punnier.Posted 11/05/07 in Daily Intel : Ink-Stained Wretches
