Controversy Erupts Over "Page Six" Item On Gawker Story

Radar:

Note to female reporters: mess with Page Six, you might get raped. (But only if you're hot.)

New York scribe Vanessa Grigoriadis learned this the hard way this morning after hypothesizing, in an otherwise tepid think piece on Gawker media, that Page Six was "emasculated" in the wake of the Jared Paul Stern payola scandal. Cue the misogynstic retaliation! After bragging about Page Six's diversity and noting that half the staff is female (note: not the half in control), a writer we're told is none other than Page Six honcho Richard Johnson himself writes, "The male half might take her someplace private and disprove her theory, but we don't like a woman with a mustache."

Actually, check out Sessa's chin/jaw, it's a sure sign give away that someone's using steroids when they've got such a horsey jaw.

No surprise here that Col. Allen's response would be so casual/dismissive as to say "get a life." Classless is as classless does. It's easy to suppose that "Getting a life," was what Col Pot was doing at Scores paying for that lap dance and who knows what else of his while his wife and kids were snuggled all safe in their beds...
No wonder he let's page six get away with such offensive comments. Page Six is a sewer. By the way Richard, isn't YOUR wife the one with the mustache? Ahem. (That's the problem here folks...Sessa von Richthofen wears the pants!)

Remind me to never say "Not even The NT Post would do this"! There's no limit to the depths to which they'll sink

Obviously, that SHOULD be "NY Post"

Oh these are people who work at The New York Post for god's sake.

I'd call them feral dogs but that would be unfair to canids everywhere.

Nothing new here. People who boast of introducing Paris Hilton have a huge debt to repay to society in the first place.
