Time To Say Goodbye

I'm just going to be completely, totally honest here. I've started typing and then deleted everything and started over again, trying to figure out exactly what to say and how to say it. So here it is: This will be my final post on Mollygood, which is shutting down today.

Before I say anything else, I want to express just how much you have all meant to me during my almost year-long stay at the site. There would be no Mollygood if it weren't for each and every one of you and the intelligent, hilarious and enlightening conversations we had together day in and day out. Both the Hags and the silent readers alike made waking up each morning and reporting on Britney Spears' mental breakdown or Paris Hilton's lack of undergarments a genuine treat, and nothing I can say would ever express how much you all have meant to the site.

The economy sucks right now — blame George Bush, blame Xenu, blame Tom Cruise — and that is the reason things have played out this way. If it makes any difference, I am just as shocked and heartbroken as the rest of you. For what it's worth, covering the lives of celebrities will continue over at Jossip in some capacity.

Thanks for everything — the encouraging e-mails, the critical comments, but mostly for the laughs. I can't tell you how many times my roommate thought I was going crazy as I cracked up laughing in my room with no one around but my cat and the computer. I feel like I've grown to know many of you over the months, and it saddens me that this community has come to the end of the road.

Take care,

Whitney
