Today's Page Six provides an excellent learning opportunity for everyone interested in the art of gossip:

So how do modern Mormons get hitched these days? "By eloping!" enthused Kristina Stewart at the Valentino perfume launch the other night. The Vanity Fair society scribe has been making bicoastal domestic plans with her "hunky So-Cal Mormon rocket scientist and Eagle Scout" fianc , Arthur Ward. She plans to wear a Valentino wedding dress (which the designer was pleased to learn) next weekend when she elopes (with parents in tow) to the Hotel Bel-Air. If this all seems unusual, Vogue's Anna Wintour thought so, too, and has commissioned Kristina to write about her round trip from a Mormon upbringing to big-city party girl and back again.

This struck us as a little, um, odd. As it turns out, for once we're not alone. A reader writes in:

today's item on kristina stewart is a payback. KS is a MAJOR source for items (often false) for Page Six. KS gives info on socials she pretends to like.

today's item calls KS a "vanity fair scribe", yet she is not on the masthead nor on contract, and to date has only written 2 calendar items and a 100 word blurb. she was considered a fiasco at VF years ago, after she spent a fortune on a trip with p diddy to morocco and NO STORY ran, etc etc.

How interesting. See, Stewart was allegedly the main source behind Page Six's coverage of Fabian Basabe's wedding, thus providing the column with lots of easy inches of content. You can go ahead and scoff at this shamelessly spoon-fed item, but our hearts are softened by this back-scratching gesture. Warm fuzzies all around. And golly, it's good to see our favorite gossip player back in the game.
