Richmond's long-running weekly column in The Hollywood Reporter was called The Pulse and was syndicated by Reuters.
In April 2006, Richmond created an online blog connected to The Hollywood Reporter. Going by the name of "Past Deadline," the blog has been on the cutting edge of breaking entertainment/celebrity related issues, such as the 2006 Mel Gibson DUI ordeal, and the Ellen Burstyn Emmy nomination controversy,[4] stories which were subsequently picked up by the international press.[5]
In 2009, Richmond left The Hollywood Reporter.
