We wondered what Jared Paul Stern's thoughts were on the appointment of Bill Hoffman to fill the void left by JPS at Page Six. He told us.

"Bill's a nice guy. And he's been writing about stupid celebrities and sparring with publicists for years. But it's not surprising they couldn't hire anyone new. I'm sure its very difficult to attract outside talent to a place that treats long-serving, loyal employees like crap. And they don't exactly stand by you in a fight, if you know what I mean."
