Happy Birthday to the Grand Dame! Your reporting style is one to be respected and immolated by your counterparts. You are always fair, insightful and your subject matters are never frivolous, but instead thought provoking. You have set the bar high for those who make a living reporting on celebrity and social news. A big birthday hug to you Liz!

Happy Birthday to my new “BFF.” I hope all your birthday wishes come true. It truly was one of the best moments, of my life, when we met. Maybe we can get together for lunch again. Or, screw lunch and let’s have drinks! Much love, Hildy

Lizzie: To the one I love best: “Happy Birthday!” Thank you for your stellar example in work as well as personal life, for keeping standards high, humor soaring, tears in check, charity in heart, and the bastards in line. Like you say sometimes of others, if Liz Smith didn’t exist we’d have to invent her. Without you, I would have had to, otherwise this heart would be one lonely thumper. God bless! Great day! Happy, happy, happy… Love and thanks always, Billy
