After reading this morning's Daily News story about the ousting of Page Six contributors, including himself, Jared Paul Stern writes in to FishbowlNY:

The Daily News will have to cut back on staff too — they'll need the money to pay out all the libel suits.

Stern also tells us that, shockingly to us, Page Six hasn't contacted him to say that he's been fired, nor has he spoken with Richard Johnson since the scandal broke.

Oh, and his clothing line "doing well and I'm getting a lot of calls from Hollywood."
