It's been five months since Lloyd Grove started his gossip column at the Daily News. Blubbering.com, using a patented celebrity-namecheck process (also known as "skeeving off Lexis-Nexis"), has issued a progress report. It's pretty bad news: over the last five months of Lloyd's column, John Kerry has gotten more than three times as many mentions as Ben Affleck? That's pretty sick.

John Kerry - 17
Bill Clinton - 14
Tina Brown - 10
Paris Hilton - 10
Russell Simmons - 8
Britney Spears - 7
Ben Affleck - 5
Christina Aguilera - 1
Jordana Brewster - 0
