A judge has dismissed former New York Post gossip columnist Jared Paul Stern's defamation lawsuit against the New York Daily News, supermarket mogul Ron Burkle and Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Stern denied Burkle's claim that he'd demanded money to squelch negative news. The Clintons are friends of Burkle, and the former president complained about Stern's Page Six column. The Daily News reported on the fracas involving its rival.
