Post Drops Smith


Liz Smith, the legendary New York Gossip/Celebrity/Entertainment Columnist has been dropped by the NY Post. This is a damn shame! She's 86 years old but she wants to keep working! According to reports, she was making $125,000 a year from the Post. This is not a lot of money whey you consider that she is who she is.
Her column still appears in 70 papers in the USA, including Parade and Variety. I predict that another New York newspaper will soon carry her column.

The Post claims that axing Smith was simply a cost cutting measure. Her final appearance in the Post will be tomorrow.

Things could be worse for Liz. I mean, she could be reduced in stature to that of a (gasp) blogger!
