Breaking: PageSix.com Shuts Down

pagesixdotcom.jpg

First on Jossip: The New York Post’s attempt to take on TMZ.com is officially offline. We hear from inside the PageSix.com hen house that they’ve abandoned their online effort, effective immediately. The announcement was just made internally. Visitors to PageSix.com are redirected to Page Six proper. So, what, no more infighting?

Update: The site was online this morning and was taken down sometime this afternoon, we’re told … Phone calls to various extensions there all go directly to voicemail … Blame low traffic numbers … An announcement from Post publicist Steve Rubenstein is forthcoming … The staff of 18 will be let go, though some will be transferred internally within the Post

    This was a picture caption website, what the F**K did all you dumb ass people expect anyway?

    1. Palm Trees and Buliding’s in its Logo so tacky!

    2. The staff - Bureau Chief: Kathy Campbell who didn’t understand breaking news and was abusive to all her staff

    3. A former photo Editor - Dave Boyle, who couldn’t spot a breaking news story to save his life - he also loved using the “F” word on his tearful staff, not good!

    4. No camaraderie at all between its staff, constant in-house fighting and backstabbing…

    and

    5. Tried to take on TMZ and failed miserably… Don’t ever try it people! We love TMZ…

    So it kinda makes sense really, don’t you think?

    R.I.P… On the other hand - GOOD RIDDANCE to a S*H*I*T blog!

    In response to youaresour, Jen may indeed have a “fat ass” and is probably bitchy when provoked, but she most certainly doesn’t cheat on her hubby, nor is she on medication, of any kind, other than birth control. Get a life Sean Borg, get a life and stop trashing people’s good names. People realize who you really are.

    Oh my god you people, STOP already! It’s not surprising this site imploded after three months, with this kind of nastiness going on, it’s so pathetic.

    Actually I know Sean Borg very well indeed and since I RUN an entertainment news show myself I can say I know him and have worked with him in the past and have NEVR had a problem with him. I also know the kind of people he worked with at Page Six… I’ll say no more on that!

    Oh BTW Sean is in London and has been so for over a week, he probably knows none of this crap exists.

    Good luck with your job hunting ex-”sixers”.

    Borg gives Brits a bad name. He was overheard at Elton John’s d-list Oscar party telling Simon Cowell he was still employed by PageSix.com, he had been sacked almost two weeks earlier-how pathetic.

    How silly all this is, the “in-fighting” has now become “out-fighting” between Page Six’s former employees - we can’t believe this is still gong down, oh dear…

    Well today we hear from within the confines of News Corp and we can report that they are completely up in arms over the whole thing. Nearly 18 people have lost their jobs due to the mismanagement of the “dot com” version of Page Six and how the columns good name was nearly destroyed by a bunch of talentless amateurs.

    There are a few people responsible for the dot com’s demise, mainly former managing editor Dave Boyle - he is responsible for not understanding how to market a cool brand and move it forward.

    Boyle was a bad choice of Managing Editor and we now hear that the “high-ups” at News Corp realize what a bad job he did of running the show, not to mention the amount of money that was wasted in the process.

    We also hear they just don’t know what to do with Boyle now, but the rumor is they can’t just fire him without good enough reason.

    He almost destroyed Page Six’s good name goddamnit - what more of a reason do you need.

    GET RID OF THE MAN he sucks!
