"Oh yeah, baby, it's all downhill from here. ;) i do hope i can stick with tv. writing is far too much effort ;)" asserted Julia Allison back in March, when she was fired amicably separated from her job as AM New York's online dating advice columnist. Maybe she's been reading The Secret, because it seems like Julia just got her wish! She'll be Star's new Editor at Large, a position that really plays to her "strengths:" "She won't be editing or writing, but she will be appearing as a talking expert whenever TV comes calling for someone to go on air to comment on the latest celebrity gossip or scandal." Congratulations, Julia! We knew you when, and for some reason we still know you now. As for those "wondering why Star actually needs a permanent full-time TV person, since Editorial Director Bonnie Fuller relinquished day-to-day control at Star to Candace Trunzo and seems to have more time on her hands these days," we'd meekly posit that maybe it's because Bonnie Fuller doesn't have an ass on which you can bounce a quarter.

Good for her. Remember though, Julia, success is fleeting, and in the long run, it may prove more auspicious to have an ass you can slap a wad of Silly Putty on to copy pictures of Snuffy Smith or Little Orphan Annie.
Wait--she's only 25? I haven't been paying enough attention because I thought she was at least a decade older than that. My opinion of "She's coming off a little desperate in that silly cheerleader uniform" will have to change to "She's some sort of media-whoring wunderkind who needs to get a better moisturizer."
I thought it was nickels. Inflation is a damnable mistress.
According to Wikipedia, "Julia Allison is an American journalist."
Bob Woodward will be so proud.
Jealous much?
@Talaton:
If 1971 were 1982, then yes, she would 25.
Hi, Wookie! You'll never guess who I met last night...oh and, um, congrats, Julia!
Jealous not much.
why offer up a quarter when the ride is free?
What's happening here with the crossing out. No deal for Julia?
Also @ Mary Mouse-- who did you meet?
Gawker, is Julia your Eliza Doolittle? Or at least your Laney Boggs?
I'm not fond of this new uniform but it beats the cheerleader uniform all hollow.
@DavidWatts: She's our Caliban.
@Mary Mouse:
the next few minutes will determine whether or not one can actually die from jealousy. Hold on a second, I smell some toast burning....
@emily: So would that make Doree your Ariel? With Choire as a tempestuous Prospero and Balk as his strong, independent daughter?
@emily: I think of her more as your griot. Her devotion to the sacred cultural oral tradition of talking about celebrities on the TV should inspire us all.
@emily: @Pope John Peeps II: But, our President thinks he eliminated the Caliban.
@KarenUhOh: Aah, but he can't defeat the Caliban while Alonso Bin Laden remains at large.
i made the mistake of reading her blog once. i want those two minutes back.
@Pope John Peeps II:
Wrong play. Balk is definitely Bottom.
I don't think the pearl necklace should be standard uniform for Star appearances. Hannity and Combes sure, but nobody respects the pearls when it's NY1 or Fox 5 midday commentaries.
@emily: Nice Shakespeare reference. I like it. When I pulled up this story I thought to myself, what connections can I find between her and Shakespeare? And you know what? You totally pulled it off. All I can say is, just like Caliban, it's a shame someone taught this bitch language.
@emily: And just like Caliban, it's a shame anyone taught her language.
Sorry for the dup :(
@Pope John Peeps II: Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.
Did I mention I hate this whore and I'm just patiently waiting for her to die? If not, I do and am.
By the way, where the fuck did Blogorrhea disappear to? I wonder.
So, from a brand perspective, this means that Star is the slutty cheerleader of the weekly gossip mags?
@Pope John Peeps II: I don't know who's what, but Julia Allison needs to be Mirandized.
