Former Gawker editor (and probably one the best we've ever had) Alex Balk now works at Radar. You'd think working at Gawker for so long is when he'd lose his soul but that turns out not to be true. It was under Radar's watch that on January 22nd, Alex Balk lost whatever shred of humanity lurked inside his hoary albeit well-sculpted bosom, or so his tumblr says.

Isn't it the last line? Also, am I the only one who gets fierce Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix flashbacks every time Balk posts a dialogue with Cho?
I'm just curious. Since the Gawker writers get money per page view and some of these Heath items are generating thousands (and in a couple cases 10s of thousands) of page views, will the Gawker writing staff be wealthy come the next pay period?
I am Balk. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I am Balk.

"I say it here, it comes out there."
So in this dialogue, who is Harold and who is Kumar?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it fled his body when it heard, "Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Denton."
"And now he's dead."
R.I.P. Alex Balk's soul!
Watching news get made in IM windows is sort of magical. It's sort of like finally seeing Oz working those levers, only he's drunk and of ambiguous orientation.
man, london must suck, huh.
So 'Cho' as in Margret, or short for Choire? Not one LOL or winky/smiley in there. They need to attend some Nick Douglas classes so they can learn to spice up these drab conversations.
I'm just waiting for PerezHilton to thank Heath for dying and getting him so many hits, like he did when Britney was rushed to hospital. A souless lot bloggers.
What, Suzanne Pleshette wasn't good enough for you?
@TheDismalScience: You are fabulous!
Oh and Balk, BTW, so are you. Congrats. Stop all this angst crap and go rent one of the many versions of The Front Page.
@fiveinchtaint: Cho as in David Cho, would be my guess. Either that or Margaret Cho. Only one of them works at Radar, currently.
@Gayyker: Ah. So is Radar a good read? Is it to Esquire like the hipster to the yuppie, or something along those lines?
@fiveinchtaint: I'd describe it more like a grocery store catalog to mensa members. Or maybe like Leviticus to serial killers. Birthday greeting cards to doctoral studies candidates at Harvard?
@Pope John Peeps II: So, you're saying it's no McSweeney's?
@PandoraSpocks: The many versions of The Front Page are kind of my reason for living. If I could alternate between His Girl Friday and Switching Channels every two hours for the rest of my life, I think I'd go to newsroom farce heaven.
@fiveinchtaint: Naw, that's how I describe McSweeney's too.
@Diglett: "No, no, keep the rooster. That's human interest!"
@jetztinberlin: No. You are not. Ha.
