George Rush has written for Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast Traveler, Men's Journal, Departures, Travel + Leisure, Talk, and Spy, among other publications.
After meeting Joanna Molloy at the New York Post's Page Six column, the pair wed and begat the Rush & Molloy column at the New York Daily News. Together, they produced almost 4,000 servings of breaking news about film, politics, finance, media, music, television, fashion and sports. The internationally syndicated dispatches had an audience of 12.5 million readers on-line and in print. Rush’s interview subjects have included Donald Trump, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, Henry Kissinger, Salman Rushdie, Ted Turner, Richard Branson, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jay Z, Beyonce, Oprah, Madonna, Diddy, Bono, and other one-named people. His investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's predatory behavior yielded a rare interview with the sex offender.
In 2010, Rush and Molloy folded up their column. Rush and Molloy share their sometimes harrowing brushes with fame in their memoir Scandal: A Manual. Rush is also the author of Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent, which he adapted as a screenplay for Warner Brothers.
Rush has drawn on his intimate knowledge of public crises, and his network of media contacts, to advise Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video, the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, the Shadowman Van refugee initiative of To.org, Big Life's anti-poaching campaign in East Africa, and other individuals and companies. His insights into popular culture have informed his work on reputation management and marketing campaigns. And his travel to over 50 countries has led to his role as liaison between non-profits and corporate sponsors. He also serves as an Editor-at-Large for Regan Arts publishing.
