    An Emily Glares At Us, Another Emily Gets Glared At

    Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (it happens!) or by design (it happens more often).

    "Hey you guys!
    I am so sorry to bother you! Are you still updating your site? love your site. You are doing a really great job! Can you please get back to me whenever you may get this. There is a hot new celebrity that you have to add an article on. He is just perfect for your site.

    He is already listed as one of the biggest stars in the world, most international loved stars of the world. He was listed as one of the biggest Pop Stars in the world. He also was listed as one of the sexiest celebrities and this week he will be listed as one of the male super stars of the world. There are article on him from Australia through Europe from the BBC to the observer to so fourth. He has had an International Fan Day dedicated to him and that only goes to the top stars of all time. He is in the Top 25 most searched for celebrities on Mencelebs.com. There is so much and more.

    But what I want you to know is that isn't\'t just it. He is inspiring. That is the most important thing. I can go into more detail and help you with an article but you really should add this hot new celebrity. For sure. I can send you anything you need to explain anything more. You should add celebrity James Holzier in the following month or two. Just Jared, Celebrity Mound, In Entertainment, and other celebrity gossip sites are adding him. I can help you. I can write an bio for you and gather up links, pics, and everything. Or write up a little article. Please you should add him for sure!!"

    All the best,
    Emily

  • "Dear Emily,
    If I promise to be even more of a total lickspittle towards you and Mhegan than the commenters are, and towards Meganh than you have been, can I be a commenter too? Gag noises and barf noises are heard. Unless there are seriously respectable product placement fees going on here, this is way too weird. Or unless you are building up to a job application; also respectable if so."

  • "Elissa Milano—I have a picture of Alissa Milano while she was over seas signing autographs and her breast fell out of her shirt while she is signing. I would like to know if there is any place that I may be able to sell this picture. you can email me back I am not sure if I have the right email address if not please disregard."

  • "I just got off the train after I reported something I saw to someone. I was walking down the 6 platform on 103rd Street and saw a collection of abandoned bags. First thing I thought was that it was totally my duty to say something. There's only one exit so I had a while to think about how awesome it was going to be to report the abandoned bags which were clearly apart of an elaborate terrorist plot. I could picture the person in the booth patting me on the back and telling everyone what I hero I am. However when I told the lady in the booth that there were abandoned bags on the platform she just stared at me, waiting for a question or something. I said "abandoned bags" again. Finally she said "abandoned bags" as if that would satisfy me. I guess on some level it did because I said thanks and walked out the station. Only know do I realize how stupid I was. Her reaction was the right one. Why would a terrorist hide weapons of mass distraction in a Conway bag and blow up an empty local train station stop in Spanish Harlem? I'm never going to report anything again. Saving face is more important."

  • "Hello,
    Do you accept articles on how to manage anxiety, fear and depression for your website and/or blog. My name is Stan and I am a published author of a managing fear book. I was wondering if I could send you some articles on how to manage anxiety and fear for possible publication in your magazine, newsletter or website. These articles on how to manage fear and anxiety could really help your readers. I look forward to hearing from you to see if I can submit these articles to you. Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,
    Stan Popovich"

  • "Hello,
    my name is Sebastian Moertl and I write my thesis about trip hop. Is there any chance to get in touch with Andy Pemberton?
    Best regards,
    Sebastian"

  • "Friday Advice—Gawker, we were mulling doing a poster of Katie Couric way back when she started at CBS. We've been still considering doing, but... given the ratings slide, should we consider doing Charles Gibson or Brian Williams instead? Or is Katie going to turn this thing around? Help! Maybe you can poll this?

    Neil & Adam,
    The Poster List"
