The Goss Girls

The Goss Girls is the collective title for British newspaper the Daily Star's showbiz columnist duo Amy Watts and Charli Morgan. The daily column used to be called 'The Bitches' but is now simply known as 'Goss'. Daily Express owner Richard Desmond launched the column in August 2001. Their tag-line is Britain's Most Rock 'n' Roll Journalists. And they have lived up to this occasionally, by becoming the story during their party reporting. Their tabloid counterparts are The 3AM Girls for the Daily Mirror and Gordon Smart who writes The Sun's Bizarre column.

The Goss Girls' Shh

The Goss is famous for its 'Shh' section, which was formerly known as 'Hush Hush'. Each day, they write a mysterious clue AbOUT an anonymous celebrity scandal. They once went too far by writing one about Daily Star Sunday columnist Joe Mott, during a long-running feud.

Media Guardian reported:

Goss girls turn on columnist

First Monkey brought you news of Daily Star music columnist Joe Mott's out of control blog, where he dissed his colleagues Amy Watts and Charli Morgan, who write the redtop's Goss column. Mott, who pens the Hot column, claimed one of the Goss girls "went commando" at a recent wedding and said they often need "the rod of correction" because of all their errors. Now, apparently, comes the exquisite revenge. Now this item has appeared as the Goss girls' Hush Hush item in their column. It read: "THIS infamous columnist has a huge ego, but the same can't be said for the contents of his trousers. The sleazy hack's confidence has shrunk as well, after word spread around the showbiz world about his little problem. His brain must be just as tiny if he thinks he can sow his oats with a succession of journos without his secret getting out." Who can they be talking about?
