  Gossip columnist Summary
The emergence of gossip columns and columnists as powerful new journalistic forces and voices during the early twentieth century would not have been possible without the creation of a new class of Americans—celebrities.
In gossip everyone was treated as a known quantity … Like slang, gossip also made one feel knowing, ahead of the curve … The rich, the powerful, the famous and the privileged had always governed their own images.
Gossip had become an integral part of the media, carried on not only by actual gossip columnists such as Liz Smith, but also by mainstream journalists, eager to spice up the news to make a good read.

 The dirt on gossip columns - APRIL 2001 | Thunderbird Magazine
It's a very time consuming thing to do a gossip column full-time and, incidentally, I don't use the word 'gossip' column, I call them 'diary' columns," he continues, adding that the Globe has in fact resurrected the once-daily diary as a feature in its weekend paper.
Even though the word "gossip" never appears in his nationalpost.com bio – "celebrity news, pop culture goings-on and zeitgeist trackings" reads his column description – he doesn’t shy away from the gossip columnist label.
Govani says that, by comparison, his column is "real dish," which apparently means Hollywood stars and the Royal Family dominate, with the odd Canadian content thrown in for good measure.

 Poynter Online - Everyday Ethics
The problem with some gossip columns, as we are now finding out, is they don't have clearly articulated standards.
As for journalistic purpose, a gossip column is aboutÂ…rumors and speculation, not exactly the foundation of great journalism.

 Dapper doyen of the gossip column, fickle friend of the famous - Obituaries
NIGEL DEMPSTER was the hot-breathed newspaper gossip ace of his day, a punctilious, and latterly careworn, chronicler of marital discord in Britain's moneyed set.
The doyen of his metier for some quarter of a century, he was cocky and plausible, to the extent that Princess Margaret became an informant.
Secretaries and suburban housewives were equally addicted to his daily dispatch from the world of "luxury" yachts, "penthouse" flats and six-figure divorce settlements.

Kelley's sprawling new book, "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," is unfortunately certain to generate a similar frenzy in the upcoming months, not because it is a deep, probing historical inquiry into Bush's past, but because it appeals to the American obsession with scandalous gossip and titillating rumors.
Ironically, the parts of the book focused on George W. are by far the least interesting and center mainly on the same allegations that have already cast a shadow over Bush's political career -- his long-unbridled use of drugs and alcohol, his questionable military record and rumors concerning his infidelity.

In January 2007 the column will be 30 years old, and, though Rupert Murdoch has handed the reins of the Post to his son Lachlan, "Page Six"'s DNA can be traced directly back to the man who introduced Australian Rules tabloid journalism to America's genteel Fourth Estate in the mid-70s.
The Post's new column would work on a similar premise: a group of reporters would gather and write up brief, pithy stories about the powerful and famous and file them to the column's editor, who would imbue them with a unifying voice and plug them into a modular format.
She was followed, in late 1985, by Richard Johnson, who is the current editor of "Page Six" and the column's iron man, having held the top byline for more than half of its 28-year existence.
