Gotham Gossipist: Rumors Swirl Of Pippa Middleton's Potential Move To New York City

By Kimberly Rae Miller

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Prepare yourselves, New York. The tush that took the world by storm after the Royal Wedding may be moving to our neck of the woods.

According to British gossip site Grazia, the sister of the England's someday-Queen, Pippa Middleton is looking to relocate to escape the stalkarazzi of London and blend into our fair city.

The 28-year-old socialite had been considering Paris for her getaway, but was seen earlier this month driving through Paris in an Audi convertible complete with pistol-waving driver.  There was a wee bit of an outcry about that, and threats of possible charges against Pips and her friend.

Subsequently, Paris appears to be off her list. New York is still in.

Being the literary city that we are, this may serve our new resident well. Middleton recently signed a $600,000 advance with Penguin Publishing for her debut party planning book "Celebrate," scheduled for release in October.

Book signings and butt envy - I sense a whole new line up of Pippa-inspired gym classes at the gym.  The booties of New York City have a bit of competition coming.
