The Backhanded Art of the Unflattering Cover

Hey, Julia Allison's on the cover of once-important lifestyle rag Wired! Ms. Allison, who's moved beyond the "dating columnist/celeb talking head" thing to become a noted dater-of-rich-nerds, is the subject of yet another of those interminable stories about becoming Internet Famous in Three Easy Steps. We haven't read the piece, except that we already did in a different magazine like a month ago. More importantly: editors and contributors who perhaps have some doubt as to your value as a cover model may undermine the honor with unflattering photoshop work and coverlines. ("Even if you're nobody," eh?) Just ask right-wing comedienne Ann Coulter. And consider yourself warned.

Hypnotic Video Of Ann Coulter Chewing

Yet more video has surfaced from Harry Shearer's magic satellite dish, the one that catches only feeds of television people engaging in embarrassing behavior just before they go on air. This installment begins and ends with brownshirt-friendly controversialist and faghag comedienne Ann Coulter politely requesting that someone cut up a line of Nicorette for her to snort, and in between we visit angry right-wing pundit Bill O'Reilly and scarf-obsessed network anchor Katie Couric. And more! Mildly unsettling clip embedded after the jump. More »

Booted Fox News Babe Re-Infiltrates Studio, Hearts Roger Ailes

Fox News correspondent and alleged harasser Rachel Marsden was escorted from the News Corp. building last year after parting ways with late-night show Red Eye. But now she has been allowed back on the premises to distract terrified American homeowners into staring at her outfit instead of thinking about what she's actually saying, which is that the free market is about to foreclose on their homes. Marsden wrote in to say she did a Fox Business News segment Friday on subprime mortgages, and that it was in the building from which she had once been banned. Also? She loves everyone at Fox and they love her back. From the email: More »

Rachel Marsden Is So Over Fox News, Greg Gutfeld

Ex-Fox News host Rachel Marsden wrote in to let everyone know she's totally moved on from her former "Red Eye" co-host Greg Gutfeld. You'll recall that Marsden was once accused of stalking and questions were raised over a rape allegation she made in the late 1990s. Last year she was escorted from Fox studios after what she described to us as "a format change in the show from 'politics and news' to 'tits and ass,' which fell outside my area of specialization." (As to the photo at left, Marseden has said on her website it was taken "just for fun" for a site called "Babes for Bush.") Marsden, also known as Canada's answer to Ann Coulter, has totally moved beyond all her Fox woes, she writes in two not-at-all-bitter emails to Gawker, reproduced after the jump. More »

Ann Coulter Is Single, 46

"They said the unholy union" between Ann Coulter and Dem former City Council president Andrew Stein—first reported and possibly invented by Page Six—wouldn't work. And "they" were right! The pretend relationship is over. He just wasn't her type, in that he is not a half-dozen gay dudes. [NYP]

And Now All The Bloggers Hate Joel Stein

On Friday, the Los Angeles Times fussbudget columnist Joel Stein announced that he's "horribly jealous" of conservative pain-in-the-ass Ann Coulter—"After all these years of Coultering, people still get riled up over her obvious attempts to make us mad," writes Joel, obviously pissed off that his own attempts to piss people off haven't delivered to him an iconic reputation such as the one Coulter has, for better or worse. He tests his theory that anything she might say would tick people off like so: "I developed the Ann Coulter Mad Libs™." Now, because someone already did it a month ago, bloggers are calling for his head over the column. We don't know enough to judge—but anything that might prevent Joel from writing is fine in our book!

Hateful propagandist and raging faghag/camp icon Ann Coulter has shocked and appalled some HuffPo blogger by, well, existing. And dining at a gay restaurant with all her gay friends in gay West Hollywood. She's not allowed to have gay friends! She was mean to John Edwards! She has blood on her hands! [Towleroad]

    Ann Coulter Now Just Kind Of Sad, Boring

    Therapy patient George Gurley's long love affair with Republican propagandist Ann Coulter, 46 (now 48??), continues today in the pages of the New York Observer. It's the same old shtick from the fiery polemicist, and, like Ann herself, it's pretty damn thin: Hillary Clinton will "impose communism" on America if elected, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are responsible for 9/11, the death of 3000 American troops in Iraq is no big deal, etc. Frankly, it's a little pathetic: Ann has pretty much tapped out her ability to provoke outrage, because we've heard it all before from her. There's pretty much nothing she can do or say at this point to shock or offend. Unless she's somehow satisfied with her increasing irrelevance in the national conversation, she's going to need to make some grand gesture that once again puts her in the forefront of American hate figures. We're not sure how she could do it, but maybe she could start by calling Barack Obama what the kids call "the n word." That might ruffle a few feathers.

    When You're Kissing Peggy Siegal's Face

    For various reasons, we got lost in the Gawker archives last night. So what happened on this day in years gone by?

  • 2006: Simon & Schuster published an anonymously-authored screed called "I Hate Ann Coulter" and Hachette Filapacchi offered sneak previews of their hot new magazine Shock! Neither went well.
  • 2005: Publicist Peggy Siegal famously said of her dermatologist: "She takes the fat out of my ass and puts it in my face, so when you're kissing my face, you're kissing my ass."
  • 2004: Wonkette's Ana Marie Cox appeared on cover of New York Times mag.
  • 2003: PETA resumed anti-fur actions in New York.
  • 2002: The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation picked six architects to design the World Trade Center! Yeah, that also went swimmingly.


  • Worlds collide: former "it" boy and minisocialite Fabian Basabe interviews angry right-winger Ann Coulter, 46. Coulter suggests that John Edwards is gay. Again. [Paper]

    Did fiery polemicist Ann Coulter, 46, have a rack enhancement? She didn't get those things from eating, that's for sure. [Cityrag, via]

    "A lot of Americans would have loved to have been in the position that Elizabeth Edwards was in because they wanted to stick it to Ann Coulter for a long time." (Obligatory: Ann Coulter is 46.) [CNN]

    Rachel Marsden Escorted From Fox Studios

    We hear that Fox News's Red Eye eye-candy neo-con Canadian trouble-girl Rachel Marsden—you remember her from her days of ALLEGED stalking in Canada—was just taken by security guards out of the Fox News studios and out of the News Corp. building. Maybe she was breathing too hard on Shep Smith. (Always barking up the wrong trees, that gal!) Or, uh, maybe she wasn't feeling well and they were taking her to a car. Yeah... that. Anyway, DEVELOPING! More »

    Media Bubble: Go To Zell

  • Real estate magnate Sam Zell will probably buy Tribune, which would be nice because it'll finally put an end to this fucking story. [LAT]
  • Alexandra Wallace, new executive producer of NBC's "Nightly News," promises better ratings, looks for places even more dangerous than Iraq to send Brian Williams. [Philadelphia Inquirer]
  • Kurt Eichenwald is just a generous soul, and that's the story he's sticking with. [AP]
  • Absolute fucking genius designer Chip Kidd soils himself in our eyes [Ed. Note: Eww? In your eyes?] by working with Jann Wenner. [NYP]

    Right-Wing Hero Has Porn Past, Claim Gays

    Matt Sanchez, a 36-year-old Columbia student and Marine Corps reservist, has been appearing on all sorts of conservative talk shows like the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, whining about being mocked for military service by those lefties up at Columbia. And then Sanchez was feted at the CPAC conference— the one where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" remark. That must have been a weird experience, since all the gays have now fingered him as a former gay porn star. (Well, we told you Ann was a huge fag hag!) More »

    Ann Coulter, 46, Major Fag Hag

    So, yes, we've seen the now-infamous video of Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a faggot. We didn't get too riled up at first, because we thought she kind of had a good point! (Kidding, kidding.) Really, we didn't think too much of it, just because ol' Annie has spent the better part of her life in the company of homosexuals. After years of standing by her gays—and what right-wing woman hasn't done time with a gaggle of sniping queens? Hello, Nancy Reagan?—we figure Ann has basically earned the right to reclaim "faggot" all on her own. Unfortunately, she's lost just about all of her girl-gang by now. (She's alienated pretty much all the straight friends by now, for that matter.) But now who will hold her long luxurious hair back during those long nights vomiting after too many tequilas? Now who'll drive around with her in South Beach with the top down, screaming into the hot breeze the important early work of Madonna? Really, it's just all too sad to consider.
