The 3AM Girls

The 3AM Girls

The 3AM Girls is the collective title of the gossip columnists for the British tabloid newspaper the "Daily Mirror". The role is currently filled by Danielle Lawler and Clemmie Moodie.

Former 3AM Girls include Eva Simpson, Caroline Hedley, Suzanne Kerins, Bryony Gordon, Kiki King, Jessica Callan, Dominique Hines, Niki Waldegrave, and Polly Graham.

In 2003 The 3AM Girls were voted 31st worst Britons in the Channel 4 television poll for the 100 Worst Britons. Noted for their attacks on celebrities who have taken exception to stories about their private lives.

In November 2006, 3AM columnists Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley reported that Michael Jackson's long-awaited comeback at the World Music Awards had ended up with him being booed off just four lines into the song 'We Are The World'. However, their column from the day before had said that Michael Jackson had given an excellent performance at the award ceremony.

"Making up Entire Chats"

In 2007 "Private Eye" magazine quoted former 3AM Girl Jessica Callan saying quotes for interviewees were made up by journalists: "The conversations celebrities had with us often bore no relation to the words which were printed in the column. On the odd occasion I didn't even know the quotes had been rewritten until I read the paper the following day...There was re-jigging and there was making up entire chats. Amazingly, we were never sued for having imaginary conversations." [Private Eye magazine, No. 1189, 20 July - 2 August 2007, p.6]

The 3 AM Girls were subject of an official complaint after printing BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles' mobile phone number, after engaging in a running feud with his then-afternoon music and chat show.

They have been profiled in "Vanity Fair" magazine.

Their tabloid counterparts are The Goss Girls for the Daily Star and Gordon Smart who writes The Sun's Bizarre column.
