Today Gawker and Defamer proudly announce our latest attempt to distract you from your real life: Gawker Mobile, in which subscribers receive a daily text message sent to your mobile phone from either Gawker or Defamer. Why? Because we're not musically talented enough to compose a Gawker theme song and sell it as a hot new ringtone.

Per our hard-edged beats, Gawker messages will ooze NYC celebrity/media gossip; Defamer, Hollywood celebrity/moviebiz gossip. The cost: $4.99 per site, a small fee for the daily convenience of getting your fix on the go, delivered in a smooth shot of 160 witty characters. If you're feeling particularly obsessive, subscribe to both and feed a Gawker Media editor for an entire month!

To sign up, kindly check out our Gawker Mobile section. Once your power lunch at Michael's is interrupted by a message relaying the current state of Lindsay Lohan's septum, you'll know it was worth it.
