Ben Widdicombe Exits Gossip Industry, Leaving Gaping Aussie Void

In a "this wouldn't even be a cute April Fool's Day joke," Ben Widdicombe is leaving the gossip pages of the New York Daily News after something like a decade in the rumormongering industry. "Oh no! After four years (which is 28 in liver years) Gatecrasher has crashed its last gate for the Daily News. I hope you've had as much fun reading the column as I have had writing it, but today I am leaving to pursue my ambition of becoming the world's first plus-size hand supermodel. Wish me luck!"

Talking points:

• What will Widdicombe's next gig be? Voice-over work?

• Since his Gatecrasher column took over the daily void left by Lloyd Grove's Lowdown, will the News be looking for another daily column to run alongside Rush & Molloy? And will that honor go to the Sunday-only Full Disclosure from News gossip veteran Jo Piazza? So far, we hear that plan hasn't been made.

Iliked his column. It's his column that brought me over to the NY Daily News. I'll miss him.
