NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Married New York Daily News gossip mavens Joanna Rush and George Molloy are giving up their daily musings to pen a Sunday column for the newspaper.

"We'll also be turning up elsewhere in the paper and on NYDailyNews.com -- writing and blogging about everything from trials to travel," the couple said in the newspaper. "Believe us, this is what we want. Gossip, after all, can wear a body down. Being married to each other, and to the column, hasn't always been easy on Rush & Molloy. We've had disagreements. Julia Roberts once begged Rush not to run a sighting of her nuzzling then-secret boyfriend Benjamin Bratt at a SoHo restaurant. Rush talked Molloy out of writing it. Julia sent flowers in gratitude. But the secret got out elsewhere. The flowers wilted, as did their romance."

Nearly 4,000 installments have run under the Rush & Molloy heading since 1995.

The Gatecrasher celebrity column started taking Rush & Molloy's place Monday.
