Time to set the betamax!

OOOOOOHH I need to DVR THIS.
When is it going to air? when? when? when?

Also, what's wrong with addressing it to Choire? (And emily and presumably even Balk?) It's not like they don't live here anymore. Oh wait.

"Hey Elizabeth, Jess: Got a great tip for you on Tina Brown's talk. Please email me at my Prodigy account! xoxo, 2002"

Pareene, are you taking credit for this or can Choire have my somethingth of $7.50?

Can we then take him to Jerry Springer? Can we? Can we?

@collegecallgirl: E-mail!? You're way too modern! I'd gone for the Relay Running Messengers (Chasquis of the Inca Empire) or the Greek Marathon runners.

I'm sort of amused how the sender's name was blurred at the bottom of the email but not at the top in the sender/recipient field.

And I'm just amazed that Dr. Phil's people are actually doing the right thing by seeking permission instead of just ripping it off. How un-egotastic of him.

This could not be more perfect.
And the JFP-loathing universe will quadruple (at least).

If only Mystery Science Theatre were around to enhance this footage...

Hi Choire,

Please disregard my previous email. The keyboard was a little haywire (Fridays, you know, ha ha). It should have read:

Next Thursday we will be taping a show about men who control eggs. One such man, gynechologist John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was featured in the movie "JFK".

We would like to use your page to promote the show, without monetary consideration. That would be good.

You have permission to call me Clarence.

Phil M. Clarence,
Saxophone, NJ

@GraniteInMyVeins:
They're probably just gun-shy after he got bitch-slapped over the whole Britney fiasco.

@GraniteInMyVeins: You're welcome, Pareene.

Nick, you can raise ad rates for the expected traffic spike Thursday afternoon.

Also, I initially read it as "men with out-of-control gas."

@GraniteInMyVeins: Psst, the rest of us e-mailed him instead.

The infusion of 50 something readers and commentors could make this a kinda snappy place.

Chelsea Handler is on Carson Daly next Thursday.

Gawker has no right to "Yeesh" this. This guy was just being a douche in relative obscurity before Gawker covered him.

Turns out Dr. Phil is not only an egomaniacal quack, he's also failed to keep up with personnel changes on a trashy blog!

And Sherri Shepherd will be interviewed by Tyra.

@obonobo: Even though it's a fairly honest mistake, all one needs to do to know who to address the email to ... is to go to gawker.com. It's on every page.
And heck, it's at the TOP of the page since Nick became Editor.

When the hed said 'Worst Show In The World' I was convinced they were talking about The Apprentice.

Is this internet still on?

Ironically, Aleksay Vanyer is not available for the Dr. Phil taping since he's previously scheduled to meet with Britney Spears. Apparently, he's Britney's financial advisor, choreographer, flower arranger, dog walker, and shrink.

quid pro quo: permission to use the logo in exchange for their permission to post any and all clips from that show/segment on gawker. delish!

Oh Hosanna! This makes me very happy.

honestly, it's near impossible to fit every guy i fucked from 2002-2005 on one stage. i'm impressed.

We were at Twist last night and JFP was there in all his glory with a TV crew and a security guard who looked more like a wanna be football player. The whole scene was comical. JFP hitting on girls with his lovely suspenders and floods on, girls laughing in his face, JFP walking out alone. Hilarious. I cannot wait to see this on the Dr. Phil Show.

VH1 is going to end up giving this guy his own dating show any day now.

Talk about the blinkered leading the blinkered.

"Dr." Phil and JFP -- two overcompensating blowhards, and neither one of them can imagine that -- or figure out why -- people think they have out of control egos.

Poor guy. I'm beginning to feel sorry for him. He's obviously too dumb to realize how horrible he looks every time he opens his mouth.

Then again, don't most men in New York qualify to be invited to this show?

I bet they blow each other after the show.

and hey 24-7!

I bet I could fill a double decker bus with NY women who qualify to be on that show in less than 20 minutes - with their balls in hand no less.
