It's the middle of the new Daily News gossip slut Lloyd Grove's second week: how's he holding up?

Item One: A big splashy feature on a Michael Shnayerson Vanity Fair story. Sure, it's a dishy Hamptons story about the draining of Georgica Pond. It's also old: see Ronald Perelman's letter in the East Hampton Star of August 25th. Shnay it isn't so, Lloyd!

Item Two: British Airway's strange PR stunt of giving free tickets to celebrity loyalists for the last flight of the Concorde. Now, what exactly is the point of publicizing the last flight of your financially unsuccessful airline? Besides, when we enquired whether we should try to hop the Concorde in its last days, a friend of a friend said: "Oh, darling, it's too late. The whole point of the Concorde was that there were no ordinary people on it. Now you don't know who you'll have to sit next to." The Concorde Is Over.

Item Three: Liam Neeson had a hard time getting into a Meatpacking District hotspot late late Saturday night. Dude. Liam would be lucky to get into Ess-A-Bagel on a Sunday morning.

Item Four: Alexandra Robbins, who did more than 100 interviews with members of Yale's secretive and powerful Skull & Bones society, is exposed as a member of rival Yale group Scroll & Key. Okay, real world analogy: Scroll & Key is to Skull & Bones as Luxx is to Limelight. Okay, dated reference. But you get the point.

As for Lloyd's stuff, all the right signifiers are there: Georgica Pond, Martha Stewart, Yale, Meatpacking District, the Concorde, rich people. And to the best of my knowledge, every single person mentioned is white and wealthy, so I know I should care, even though the gossip might be a wee bit stale. Or maybe it's me: maybe I've lost my priorities.
