Jesse Oxfeld of Mediabistro interviews Daily News gossip columnist, Lloyd Grove who's been kicking up dust clouds in these parts for about eight months now. He's a bit ticked "Page Six" is seen as the gossip column in town and he'd like nothing more than to spend his time "sitting at the Stork Club, smoking thin cigars and terrorizing senator's sons."

But never mind the business; on the gossip front, what's it like to compete with the juggernaut that is "Page Six"?

Well, what's the juggernaut that is "Page Six"? It's a terrifically entertaining and fun column to read, and I'm an admirer of it. But if you on a day-to- day basis looked at "Rush & Molloy" and looked at my column and assessed the gossip packages that both newspapers are offering, I think that we are offering a better gossip package day in and day out than the Post is, with the caveat that they have these fantastically entertaining and unique voices Liz Smith and Cindy Adams which I think are assets to the paper. But just in terms of, if readers want to find out stuff they don't already know, if you looked at my column and "Rush & Molloy" and compare that with "Page Six" which is probably a bit unfair because we're two columns and the "Page Six" team is doing one column I think we can match them.
