The Internet Age marks the rise of social media and the death of the newspaper. Gossip bloggers like Perez Hilton emerged with no standards or rules. Page Six depended on sources like Harvey Weinstein, who mastered the manipulation of gossip writers. Digital gossip became faster, meaner and dirtier and the traditional columnists suddenly were obsolete. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, a gossip regular, was elected US President. Now, at age 91, Adams is the last woman standing. As for the tabloids, so is the New York Post. Series finale.

During the 1990s, New York was still a city dominated by newspapers, but the New York Post remained on unsteady ground. It changed hands repeatedly until, at last, it was rescued by Rupert Murdoch once more. All the while, the gossip columnists were engaged in an era of tabloid wars -- Adams for the New York Post, and Liz Smith for The New York Daily News -- while Page Six sparred with Alec Baldwin, Mickey Rourke and more. By the end of the decade, as her success grew, Adams tends to Joey who is on the decline. Then, Lewinsky happens.
