Rather than dwell on his passing, we choose to remember all he contributed to our humble gossip section, including the time his devoted staff all sported the same ‘do in solidarity, his unwavering stance in the Boss vs. Bon Jovi debate and the magical day a Jonas Brother popped by to talk shop.

Godspeed, Sen. Lautenberg!
