By: (AP) Lizzie Grubman, the publicist who backed her SUV into a crowd of clubgoers in the Hamptons two years ago, says she has a new philosophy on the media: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Grubman plans to begin a new job as a gossip and entertainment reporter for the radio station WNEW-FM, "102.7 Blink."
"Now, I decided that if I can't ... beat the media, I'm joining the media," Grubman told sister station 1010 WINS.
Her first report will be on goings-on in the Hamptons over the Fourth of July weekend.
Grubman, whose company promoted singer Britney Spears, rapper Jay-Z, and the Backstreet Boys, served 37 days in jail after pleading guilty to assault and leaving the scene of the July 7, 2001, crash outside the Conscience Point Inn that injured at least 16 people.
"So many people were involved, and you know, it breaks my heart every single day," Grubman said. "I still think about it, and it'll never go away."
Messages left for Grubman's lawyer, Stephen Scaring, and Infinity Broadcasting, which operates WNEW, were not immediately returned.
