@Nick Denton: I have only done a few things for the DB, but working however briefly as I did with Tina was exhilarating. Having access to that laser-focused brain on my story was really energizing - she's incredibly formidable and just knows where the heart of the story is. I also LOVE my editor at the DB - Michael Solomon - working with him reminds me why editors are still necessary in this self-published world. Also, Tina is a machine - she's on Morning Joe, she's hosting book parties, she's moderating panels - she works hard on behalf of that brand. So I agree - I was looking for the to-be-sure paragraph and its absence is felt.
Not that I don't heart me some Ryan Tate. To be sure.
I thought the last one was sexier. And shouldn't you still be worried about that live rear axle?
Pretty exciting news for Jezebel, and those who read/love it. Congrats to all! This is good stuff.
@06Limer: That was awesome - and it sounds like your new car is, too. Congratulations! Wear your seatbelt.
Van Jones. Unquestionably hot. The rest of it is a bit questionable.

@Balsa Wood: I thought this whole post was extremely well done, and well-written, including this sentence. And wow, did that "Born Rich" hed twist the knife. What a sad sad story.
This commercial is hilarious, and if she's getting her SAG card even better - nice work on her part upping her price and getting out of the zone where people will keep linking her to Gawker. Don't worry, Ray, you'll still be able to take credit when she gets that pink convertible.
You didn't mention that she's with Meghan Asha in the car, btw. Well done on both of them.
Hamilton I've seen you in a tank top. Rawr. You are smart AND fetching, don't worry. That's my professional Cheetah-based opinion.
Amazing, more than a little sinister pic. Nice eye.
I grew up in an Olds. In the middle backseat, to be precise. Nice family car.
This post would not be complete without a reference to the song "Henry Ford" from Ragtime. Neat little number. Excellent lyrics + structure.
Wow I love this post. Fab headline.
@Xylo: Yes - he does indeed sing "You're Having My Baby" - which is awesome in its tackiness. He also wrote "My Way," obviously made famous by Sinatra. He also wrote "Put Your Head On My Shoulder." And, I must add, he's Canadian.
And yes, I do have Paul Anka's Greatest Hits. And I do love this song. Wait a second, I think it might just be about....A CHEETAH!
@DennyCrane: Ha. I don't really know what Voltron is.
Er, enough people have asked me if the article was about me for me to clarify: No. It wasn't. I never thought it was. I meant I'm tired of reading about how women in New York are portrayed in the Observer, and reeled off examples. In case anyone was concerned. Though how I look without makeup is a matter of taste, I guess.
I love these.
@RachelSklar: p.s. Foster you're hilarious.
@belltolls: I do not know Tiger, though my name is Rachel.
God this is so very very sad. I followed this when it happened and was so amazed and impressed by his candour pre-op and hers, post. In the coming-out LAT article, he describes the struggle to figure out being transgendered: "We are born with this, we fight it as long as we can, and in the end it wins." That takes on such dark, sad new meaning here. RIP.
