The enormous scandale of media/actual whore Jessica Cutler's refusal to appear as scheduled at a Mediabistro panel next Monday made it to Page Six today. The mature professionals at Mediabistro, possibly upset at losing the only real blog-to-book success story on their panel (sorry, overhyped Julie/Julia) reacted to Cutler's cancellation by reminding the public that she is "someone known for exchanging sex for money," thus saving possible panel attendants the $20 they would have paid to learn "How Bloggers Get Book Deals."
Cutler doesn't resort to that kind of name-calling on her blog, though (well, except for the part where she calls Dylan Stableford "Fishboy") — she simply points out that when she signed up for the event, she didn't realize that not only would she be unpaid, she'd have to pay her own airfare. Lesson learned, Mediabistro: Cutler only does it for free if she really, really likes you.

How much is she charging for a private lesson nowadays?
Dylan Stableford's a head case--no wonder he wears the knit caps.
Right now, being a blogger who can't get a book deal is like being a woman at last call at a truck stop bar who can't get laid. Meaning: you have to be really, really ugly.
Stick that in your Laurel Touby!
Last time I looked, Powell had sold more than 90,000 copies of her book, which may not be Mitchneresque, but I don't see any other bloggers getting anywhere close to those numbers.
