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?
