So it seems that becoming (or attempting to become) the old version (1960-70) of the National Enquirer isn't working. Now one of your editors has to FAKE a post on another popular (and one that is driven by user comments and posts) website to drum up business.
Really Nick and Remy -- you are okay with this type of posting from Chen? Do you really need to stoop so low as to fake news now, and do it on another website? Just to get readers to Gawker?
I guess you do. Money is king, kindness is a fart in the wind.
Lucid Endings was Chen? Keep bragging, because you've raised your level of journalistic achievements to "fake". It won't be forgotten. Faking death is so... 1980's chat-room drama. So much less than what I expected from a professional journalist.

Didn't Minge post this to #Crosstalk and #Tips around 11pm last night? [gawker.com] Even with our little Gawker forum's wings clipped, it's safe to say that Gawker's staff reads #tips and #crosstalk despite Denton's his interview assertion....
1:35 - ND: Web Media went down a dead end ... We’re going to pay less attention to commenters, who keep us in a ghetto... [www.businessinsider.com] (Edit comment)
FB is at it again. FB is deleting accounts of 'real' people who have their animal (dog or cat, bird or turtle) as their profile photo. These are not the individuals who portray their animals on FB, but real, honest-to-goodness people. Many of us in rescue do use our breed photo, and/or a particular dog/cat/snake photo... FB is about to become the new Egypt in 3... 2... 1... So if your BFF suddenly disappears from FB, you'll know his/her account is in prison. Mark is such a winner. #tips
Rumor has it that Glenn Beck is purchasing a percentage of all of these gold mines. He's stocking up the gold, and also going to use them as a nuclear bunker once the Muslim Brotherhood inducts Barak Obama by making him drink Dick Cheney's blood from Clinton's goblet.
At CPAC, they are passing out Sarah Palin for President buttons which read... "In your heart, you know she's right." Buzzfeed has kindly offered up a blank one... So fill in Sarah's blank. [s-ak.buzzfed.com]#tips
Danielle Staub of RHONJ fame has a new reality TV show devoted to her, her social life, her primping, and um... her. It's shown on WealthTV. Sadly, she can no longer afford the Spanx for her nights out on the town.
Your post is long, about 1/2 to 3/4th's of my screen. Here's my giggle at the new "design" that's been beta-tested.
When you "reply", it's at the TOP of the original post, not at the bottom. I have to scroll back up, lose my place, and at my age, my train of thought -- to reply to a comment. How many good commenters are going to say... "Eh, fuck it, I can save this comment..."
Design 101. Place buttons where the end-users can see 'em. If not, put on flack jacket coz the flack is gonna fly.
The new Gawker says there are 300 replies to your post. My new Gawker will only display 3. As you have probably noticed, the comments around here keep folks coming back day after day. But if we can't see the comments and the replies... Well then, ya'll better come up with a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist that is on the front page every.single.day. Oh, and he had better like gossip and blind items. #crosstalk
Palin Appearance at Military Fundraiser Canceled After 'Negative Feedback'
A foundation hosting a charity gala for military families canceled its plans to feature former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin at the event after "an onslaught of negative feedback" received by the organization.
Surprised that Fux even posted this, but I'm sure there's a positive spin for Palin somewhere.
I'm surprised she didn't 'bust a move' and "Walk Like An Egyptian" after her so-called sting of our present administration's handling of the Egyptian civil war.
I'm sure she feels that guns are always the answer.
Check out tips, she's been removed from a speaking engagement for military families because of complaints. Link is there.
@BeachLover: While it *is* self-entitlement, society is very much to blame. It used to be that a Congressman 'caught' taking bribes would lose his 10-year career. Now, it's a hand-slap and a formal complaint registered. Ditto with any type of actor or actress. Sheen would have been banished his first prostitute, Lindsay would have been gone a hella long time ago, and Rider would not have a come-back to even consider.
But seriously, society is more interested in their antics than they are the Egyptian war, Obamacare, or Sarah Palin.
Society wants gossip, hot tales, and is so forgiving.
Nort' Care-o-lina, down by the border to Sawth Care-o-lina. Foreclosures galore, HOA fees are high, but steals can be had. Hour drive to the beach, plenty of property and beautiful homes. While it may get a tad bit chilly at night, that is truly what fireplaces were built inside the homes -- to heat. :)
After advertising for the last 2 weeks that RHONY was returning, the show has been 'pushed back' to the spring, and the Miami Housewives are going to be introduced instead.
Is there problems in NY? Is Frankel pissed that her show would follow with her former BFF's?
