Daily News gossip-boy Lloyd Grove gets a shocking exclusive: JOURNALIST DOESN'T SLEEP WITH SUBJECT WHILE WORKING ON STORY. Well, actually, perhaps it is newsworthy that Vanity Fair's Nancy Jo Sales waited til after her story was filed — and killed — to make a move on her interview subject. I mean, I saw that Adaptation film — that Meryl Streep New Yorker chick went right for the snorting expensive flower-dust and riding her subject like an orchid-picking pony.

Oh wait, that was fiction? Anyway, the real shocker is that formerly hard-living good-time girl Nancy Jo Sales is marrying a priest. Now that's seriously twisted. Our mazels and tovs to the happy couple.
