So, in a move almost everyone predicted, it's farewell to Lloyd Grove, who today pens his final column in the Daily News. Apart from breaking the news that some kids at Horace Mann were mean about their teachers on Facebook, Lloyd is somewhat cagey about his next gig, saying, "I'm almost, but not quite, ready to tell you about the next gig, which I expect will be as fun and interesting as this one has been. Here's hoping you'll check it out." He tells the NYT's David Carr that "I will be doing something that is multimedia, with components of Internet and television and print media."

Wow, they really had a hard time finding a host for that TMZ show, huh?
