New York Magazine gets into the GroveWatch™ act with a group of gossip hounds (including yours truly) providing helpful advice to Lloyd Grove, the Daily News' new gossip man.

I know Gawker has been hard on Mr. Grove, but that's only because we take our gossip so very seriously. Because we care just so much, we have a bit more advice for New York's newest guttersnipe. First, any gossip columnist must have a gentle touch, like a gynecologist. Mr. Grove should visualize himself as the pre-warmed speculum gently nudging at the os of Manhattan society. And like any good doctor, one must be careful about kickbacks and associations: Mr. Grove will do quite well here — as long as he keeps his little brown nose out of the tempting, money-spewing asses of Manhattan's PR agents.

After his first week on the job, I'm completely sure Mr. Grove will make it in New York. What remains to be seen is whether it'll be as gossip columnist or sidewalk sausage vendor — entendre intended.
