young girls on fox 5 along with a woman who lives on broome with terrible skin talking to the media. one of the girls described the amount of times she saw 'a knights tale.' 9 million times. that's right 9 million.
What the fuck does she know about Heath Ledger.. She truely is just a talking head isn't she.. I still don't believe she's in her 20's.. its so obvious she's at least 38..
@Conbon: Honestly? Who cares, right? Ostensibly, things like Julia Allison and Gawker exist in some sort of symbiotic relationship with celebrity. To not try to capitalize on the death of a celebrity would be, at best, disingenuous and strained.
Julia, sweetie? If I'm interested in details I'll tune in to Larry King tonight. At least I can't smell his gaseous farts like I can your desperation to be somebody important.
@Conbon: Per usual, I think we agree. However, I think the canard that Gawker is somehow opposed to Julia Allison and her antics has been destroyed. They've moved from outright disdain to light mockery to acceptance to endorsement.
You forgot the part where she posted a video that she appears in immediately afterwards with the caveat that it should not distract you away from the tragedy and back to focusing on her.
hey, it was a first reaction. I was just flipping channels, saw that and thought the same thing, although I did not post the sentiments on my blog. Or my boobs doing pushups with a dog on my chest.
@ninety_nine: SPLIT-SCREEN, SHOWING MSNBC ANCHOR (LEFT) AND MS. ALLISON (RIGHT). INTERVIEWEE IN PLUNGING V-NECK SWEATER, BLACK (MOURNING-APPROPRIATE).
ANCHOR: Tonight, we are pleased to have Ms. Julia Allison with us to comment on the tragic death of Heath Ledger. Ms. Allison is Editor-at-Large at Star Magazine. Good evening, Julia.
JULIA: Thank you.
ANCHOR: So, what's the buzz surrounding this, the latest in a long line of celebrity deaths?
JULIA: Well, I'd like to ensure that, while mourning the dead is only natural, that we keep the focus on the living who were impacted by, and will continue to live with, the aftermath of this tragedy. My heart goes out to Heath's ex-wife, Michelle Williams.
ANCHOR: That's admirable of you, Julia.
JULIA: Yes. I'm pretty sure that Heath suffered from bipolar disorder. I have a lot of experience dealing with those who suffer from this disease. In case you and your audience don't follow me on my blog - juliaallison.tumblr.com - I used to date Jakob Lodwick. He's bipolar. So, I can totally relate to what's going on here, and have been in this same situation before.
Can I talk some more about how this tragedy affects me, Julia Allison of www.juliaallison.com?
@SarahHeartburn: I would only wish an early demise on an enemy, and Julia's never done anything to me. But since you're still grieving over Heath, I wholly understand your need to just vent.
@dinergirl: You know, I thought of that too. She is that sick. I wish someone knew how bad off Heath was and I still hope it turns out to be an accident.
You know, it's much less gross than some of the comments on the original posts here about this. Which were far, far too soon in some cases. Not that I think the world of Julia Allison, by any means. (Please, a dog on her chest?) But also: fifteen posts on this are on the front page of Gawker at this point. Fifteen - that's really necessary, too?
CNN will get Gloria Alred to talk about how he hurt a woman (and his daughter) and how it's typical of men. And Nancy Grace to talk about how all men suck.
Comments
That is just sick.
phew. that's a load off my mind.
Finally, something resembling appropriate Gawker coverage of this event.
There is paparazzi bedlum outside his apartment. Sky News is reporting that his body is still inside.
So, you can't die from a fameball? Just checking.

She means she'll be on MSNBC to babble aimlessly and attempt to seem important all the while crying crocodile tears for someone she never knew.
@jaydestro: That's time well spent. I'd like to meet this girl, pick her brain - see what she's about.
The Five Stages of Celebrity Death Grief:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Julia Allison's klieg-lit rack
Acceptance
Dear Gawker,
It is not necessary for you to make me dislike JA even more - you have already done your job.
Your Pal on the West Coast, and glad to be far away from JA,
khd
MSNBC can't find someone with a relevant opinion on such short notice?
Is Julia better or worse than Gawker leaving a link to everything they've ever written about him at the top of their main page? About the same?
OMG I'm so glad my roommate is home to set the TiVo!
@lawyergay: Classic.
Nooooo! This is all we're going to hear about the rest of the week.
@Conbon: Honestly? Who cares, right? Ostensibly, things like Julia Allison and Gawker exist in some sort of symbiotic relationship with celebrity. To not try to capitalize on the death of a celebrity would be, at best, disingenuous and strained.
She is awful. Just awful. (And self-promotey and gross. Yay!)
Julia, sweetie? If I'm interested in details I'll tune in to Larry King tonight. At least I can't smell his gaseous farts like I can your desperation to be somebody important.
She should be smacked across the face with a Nanette Lepore glove (or an Aero floor lamp; take your pick).
We want her on that wall, we need her on that wall.
@TheHonJudgeSmails2: Exactly. But if Gawker is trying to somehow distinguish Julia as more opportunistic in this situation, well, she isn't.
(I think we're saying pretty much the same thing, no?)
I've always said, her face looks at least ten years older than her stated age.
Btw, this was her life before Heath Ledger's death (previous post):
Quick Advice Needed!
Soooo … I need a new URL for my blog (as distinguished from my website "JuliaAllison.com")
Tell me what you think of the following, all of which I just bought:
NotJuliaGoolia.com
JuliasBlog.com
ItsMeJulia.com
MissJuliaAllison.com
JuliaJuliaJulia.com
XoJulia.com
XoxoJulia.com
Which one do you like the most?
(or if you have other suggestions, send them my way!)
Love,
Julia
PS. I sent these to my girl friends, and they couldn't agree. At all.
@Conbon: Per usual, I think we agree. However, I think the canard that Gawker is somehow opposed to Julia Allison and her antics has been destroyed. They've moved from outright disdain to light mockery to acceptance to endorsement.
URLS FOR DUMMIES.
This is so sad... How much cleavage do you think she'll show?
Shut up, Julia Allison.
(rinse, repeat as necessary)
@mstr_donut: I think this merits topless.
Who knows? Maybe Heath was bi-polar.
You forgot the part where she posted a video that she appears in immediately afterwards with the caveat that it should not distract you away from the tragedy and back to focusing on her.
@fileunder: I'd go with "FUCK YOU JULIA ALLISON!" It made me feel better.
All this means is that Britney is going to have to do something even more extreme to get the focus back on her. She's that sick.
Just shut your fucking cock hole and keep it shut, you whore.
Who booked her? I want the name. They have to answer for this...
She changed the post. Hm.
@contradicto:
hey, that's more what i needed. thanks.
@Steverino: Keeping with the motif of the day, how about www.thelatejuliaallison.com.
Or is that too much wishful thinking?
hey, it was a first reaction. I was just flipping channels, saw that and thought the same thing, although I did not post the sentiments on my blog. Or my boobs doing pushups with a dog on my chest.

@lawyergay:
OK, that was fucking priceless.
@SarahHeartburn: I would only wish an early demise on an enemy, and Julia's never done anything to me. But since you're still grieving over Heath, I wholly understand your need to just vent.
@dinergirl: You know, I thought of that too. She is that sick. I wish someone knew how bad off Heath was and I still hope it turns out to be an accident.
I just saw this headline: "Heath Ledger Quits Us"
TOO SOON!!! BOOOOOOO.
@theobviouschild: It was faster than typing www.ohwhythefuckdon'tyoujuststickacorkinityoufamemongeringpostadolescent painintheass.com
When the only note you can sing is MIMIMIMIMIMIMI.....
@SarahHeartburn: Seriously, you should register that domain name.
Even better:
[juliaallison.tumblr.com]
@hamburgerhotdog: yes. purely coincidental.
Oh goddamn, and Lola Ogunnake is going to talk about it on CNN I'll bet. I swear to god I'm going to kill MYSELF now. Why God, why?!
@htotheomo: Celebrity tragedy as a party game! How innovative!
@TheHonJudgeSmails2: Well-played.
Also, I don't think that "disdain" was ever legitimate, even in the beginning.
@DorothyMantooth: You are far keener than I. And you look better in a miniskirt and thigh-highs, I'll wager.
@contradicto: oooo Stick a ".com" on that and she has a winner in my book.
@TheHonJudgeSmails2: Ten bucks?
You're on!
@htotheomo: No! Sadly, more like lazy research. Worse? As I said in an earlier post, is there ever going to be a tipping point?
@DorothyMantooth: What's yer PayPal account number? I'll have Alexander Hamilton over there faster than Aaron Burr's trigger finger.
@TheHonJudgeSmails2: Deal!
You post your photo first, though.
THANK GOD.
@DorothyMantooth: That wasn't part of the original deal structure. You wily lawyeress, you.
@TheHonJudgeSmails2: And that (among my more tender wiles) is how I get 'em, love.
@Chaim Gnadelstein: Your evil plan to get people to reply to your shit-stirring comment has worked.
@Steverino: @htotheomo: Same difference. Some things never change. Some brains never fully mature.
@TheHonJudgeSmails2: you kill me
@AndSheSaid: Hi Susie. They mature - just with things we wouldn't want there.
You know, it's much less gross than some of the comments on the original posts here about this. Which were far, far too soon in some cases. Not that I think the world of Julia Allison, by any means.

@TheHonJudgeSmails2: God, you want to sleep with her so bad!
CNN will get Gloria Alred to talk about how he hurt a woman (and his daughter) and how it's typical of men. And Nancy Grace to talk about how all men suck.
@dana danger: Must have killed her to realize that it's not all about her.
I still can't get over the fact that she gets paid to go on TV and read what other people research and write.
@Steverino: and this will be her life after. just give it a day.
