Introducing Dealbreaker.com
Amid its usual coverage today of folks like Ron Perelman, Adrian Grenier, Halle Berry, and Palm Beach society matrons, Page Six breaks some truly important news: Former Gawker Elizabeth Spiers' next venture.
Finding the literary life insufficiently fulfilling — or perhaps insufficiently lucrative — Spiers, or someone who loves her, leaked news to the gossip column that she'll soon be launching a news-n-gossip blog of her very own. Dealbreaker.com, as it's to be called when it launches in March, will cover Wall Street. We're quite confident the site will be, if nothing else, interesting, and we're equally confident Spiers is smart enough to have worked out an arrangement with one Justin B. Smith, who's owned that domain for nearly five years, before announcing her venture.
But she might want to talk to Justin about getting a coming-soon announcement up there, though. Not that DiscountMart.com isn't lovely, too.
UPDATE: Spiers would like to underscore that of course she "worked out an arrangement with one Justin B. Smith," as we said we were confident she had. One Justin B. Smith, it seems, is an investor, and he recently bought the domain from its previous owner.
