Pagesix.com, the New York Post's breaking celebrity news blog, is over. The site went offline earlier today, and the rumor is that Pagesix.com was axed due to low traffic. Jossip is reporting that most of the 18 staff members will be let go, though some will be redeployed to other Post departments. [Jossip]

Just asking...
Which commenter totally called this now-dead website out for being fug and stupid in the first post this morning?!?
HA. DIE NY POST DIE! Can we kill Perez's site next?
hate page 6. though, it's sad to know that 18 people could be out of a job, no matter how despicable that job was
New York Post, you have been fallen by a dude with pink hair who draws semen on everyone's face. Well done.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Boo hoo.
@BeckyIva: I wish! You know, I boycotted Perez when Jezebel came 'round. As my sister said " I got sick of looking at his stupid mug in every other post"
@h_a_l: I'm working on all kinds of web boycotts right now. That's what I love about Jez's morning Dirt Bag--we can all get the gossip, with only one person visiting all the trashy sites. And then our page views go to Jez!
@hortense: Ineffable, if I remember correctly. I hope she chooses to use her psychic powers for the greater good!
There was a blind item about something like this a couple of months ago. I need to go find it and see if it fits.
I started reading pagesix.com when it first came out, but quickly realized that I might as well read the 'Weekly World News'. Especially when Britney lost it, they were very obviously fabricating all these stories. I guess all the lies came back to bite them in the ass.
Noooo! What will I read as I drink my morning tea???! I feel very bad for the 18 folks losing their jobs. [candyonthecape.blogspot.com]
@JessicaLovejoy: Backstairsly:
That totally made me think of Nelson from The Simpsons.
"HA-HA!"
PageSix.com was like Gawker-lite, without the clever writing. I'm not surprised it got axed at all!
@DoNotStalk: I remember that! I think it was about the staff of a Gossip Blog partying too much?
@candy1108: Hey Candy, here's an idea ... how about the site you're reading RIGHT NOW?
@candy1108: I'm confused about why you're linking to your blog. Is there something over there about pagesix.com? Or is it just shameless self promotion time?
I actually freelanced with them for a second...thank goodness I got my check!!!
I think they jumped the shark in the late 90s, when they repeatedly called Monica Lewinsky the "portly pepperpot."
