Liz Smith Fires Back

Good riddance! She's been creaming over "Madonna" and Hillary Clinton too long. I've been sick of her for years.

She'll Be Missed

Considering how much crazy money is spent on pure crap in the entertainment industry, it's a real shame that her column (perhaps the last well-written, smart and funny example of the genre) wasn't renewed.

The world does have to change and things do need to move forward...but even with the seemingly endless choices out there for gossip/celeb news, Liz's distinctive voice will be missed.

She was rarely bitchy (except when the subject truly deserved it) and wrote with a zippy, slangy style that always sounded fresh.

What a drag that her column is no more. I hope she lands a great new gig.

Nothing personal against Liz Smith

but we need a gossip column like we need a few more soap operas on TV or tabloids at the checkout stand.

Luxe Life

Luxury is no longer the sole province of the elite. Upscale goods and services now target a much broader market. Kimberly Castro, deputy business editor of U.S.News & World Report, takes a look at the luxe life, from fine wines and cars to high-end real estate and wealth management. Though no elitist, Kim does admit a fondness for a bold bottle of Scout's Honor from Venge Vineyards and satiating her wanderlust in Europe.
