Your heading regarding Robert Pattison was disrespectful to Rob and absurd. Leave the guy alone for cryin outloud. I actually go online and look for news on Rob to slam wnat to be reporters like you.
Excuse me, I need to introduce some bad-assery here for the sake of us all--everyone seems soooo frightened of losing their precious stars and as such shun any hint of dissent. Lame. What's the fun of Gawker if you stifle intelligent polemic?
Happy Sunday to you too, pet. Ding-ding-ding + ca-ching:
*"Get your Canadian visas ready..," not "Get your Candian visas ready.."
*"winter soup," not "Winter soup"
* "As the sole proprieter of Jackson's only assassination attempt, I wouldn't expect Jackson to be anything but a Coke fan, either."
*"proprietor," not "proprieter," though it doesn’t matter since the sentence jumped ‘em rails by the time you got to the period.
*Mike Myers, not "Meyers"
*Leven Rambin," not "Levin Rambin"
*Lukas Haas, not "Lucas Haas"
* "the shit? blow?" not "the shit? Blow?" (Jerze housewives item)
*You get a pass on Ashley Dupre (it’s "Dupré") because she’s a foxymoron.
*"..on her man," not "..on her mans." (Chris Rock item, 2nd sentence)
*Cut xtra apostrophe in "Lil' "Lipgloss" Mama," + she spelled the title of the song "Lip Gloss"
* "..during her first day on the job," not "..in her first day on the job.." (Sienna Miller item)
@snugbug: PS: That being said, your Rosh Hashanah fundraiser is a very nice and clever idea. Too bad a-holes like me who used to fact-check for a living caught wind of it.
@mexiback: It's all in good fun + for a good cause!
Because he's a nice Jewish boy, FK issued a fund-raising challenge in honor of the Rosh Hashanah weekend; he'll donate $5 to a NYC charity for every typo/error pointed out to him.
@snugbug: former proofreader checking in, and I'm having to restrain myself on the site lately. they really must not have any editors doing actual *editing* at all.
@saralapua: Brunch is for bourgeois olds with 401Ks. We're all play-jostling in the sandbox, and sipping Bloody Marys while at it. And you're not invited. Ciao, caro!
@snugbug: GOOD JOB correcting the journalism on this Foster Kramer. I really hope he did not waste his money on a journalism degree...he writes like my 10 year old nephew.
@labyrinthine IS DOING THIS: Eh, typos and fact-check errors are to be expected when you oughtta churn out two posts per hour, like a manic squirrel. But FK preemptively deflated criticism with humor and sass. Smart move, boosts traffic, comes across as endearing. Keep him on, Denton.
Hamilton - I thought the photo you used the other day was kind of hot, but the pics in the Post slideshow looked like they were trying so hard, they failed.
I barely know what the O.C. is. I barely know who Mischa Barton is. I have had extreme dental pain (pre and post-surgery) and it is a hell like no other, so since I know no other gossip about her, I'm inclined to believe her story.
That being said, I watched "The View" clip yesterday and I found Ms. Barton the height of irritating. Her voice could not be any throatier and affected. The sideways hairdo looked like half a curtain on a window and the wall of words coming out of her mouth without a breath made me frantic. Just the type of person I never want to encounter at a party.
@Banjo-Sea Kitten: i have encountered her, at a party, a weekend-long travel house-party, and she was exactly the same as what you witnessed. Dreadful, gross; that's what.
Aniston and those pasty Twilight kids have the best publicists in the business, hands down. It's like her publicist knows no one gives an eff about her, but the only people who don't know that are the tabloids.
I thought Russel Simmons liked the peen?
@secretagentman: This is absolutely true. I come across a lot of people who care about celebrity gossip, and I have never in my life talked to a single one who was concerned about Jennifer Aniston's love life. Ever. Who would? Her exposure at the moment is eerily reminiscent of the Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck zeitgeist from the first part of this decade, where it took Gigli to convince people that J.Lo was not Jackie Onassis. In ten years we will laugh about all of this, unless we have all killed ourselves.
