Gossip for the Centrum Silver set. This week we flirt with the darkside by actually reading the elderstateswomen of gossip.
· Liz Smith: Head Hunter
 The highest paid woman in journalism gives a plug to Rachel Leifer, who wrote last week s Times article about female boxers (Hey, someone should make a movie about that!) and is apparently ripe for a career. She also happens to be the step-grandbaby of Ms. Smith s friend, Tita Cahn. Seems to me Rachel would be a perfect pick for Maer Roshan's new Radar magazine, bowing any minute. Columbia J-School minions should send resumes to Liz Smith at the NY Post, 1211 Avenue of the Americas. [Liz Smith]
· Cindy Adams: Former Gang Member
 In an overextended rant on the AT&T take-over, Cindy Adams bemoans the recent corporate merger mania saying: Modernization is breaking up that old gang of mine.
Bloods or crips, Cind? [Cindy Adams]

· Mariah Carey is parched. A men's magazine spy tells Ben Widdicombe: "Mariah Carey demanded 56 different beverages, from Vanilla Coke to Cristal, to be available at our cover shoot with her, prompting our photo editor to say, 'She's going to be there for five hours, how is she going to drink 56 beverages?'" Isn t the real question here, How is Mariah Carey going to be on a magazine cover? [Gatecrasher]

· Naomi Campbell can t seem to graduate from the Image Rehabilitation Center. Design duo Chip and Pepper are giving out T-shirts at the Bryant Park Fashion Week tents that say "Naomi [Campbell] hit me" on the front, and on the back, "and I liked it." [EL-K]
