Gertrude Stein was a diva back before they looked like they do now. After the war which she sat out comfortably in the south, she marched magisterially past a long line for meager goods to fill her basket at a Paris shop while they proles hissed and stammered. She said art is primary in France. I guess she was art. Her companion was not Alice and was too embarassed to accompany her queue-barging mission. Coward, Gertrude called her.

I hear this Lindsey and her DJ pal are signed for the top secret Autobiography of Alice B Toklas, not yet filming.

My only objection to the "muff diving" reference is that Josh can be so much wittier. I know it's a weekend sub, sweetie-I've done them myself - but pump it up a bit. As a teacher, I give a C+, because I know you're capable of much better work.

@SarahHeartburn: I was inspired to use "muff" on a later post because I hadn't heard the word in such a long time.

Agreed. He achieves Richardian heights of wordy rapture from time to time. It's probably a coffee thing.

I'm not sure but I think she and Sam are doing it nightly in live performances. Mean Girls I mean, not the obvious.

Being gay is just her latest career move. If it works, soon we'll see gay Paris, gay Tara Reid, and gay Brandon Davis.

She is on a roll. I think she should just kill Brandon Davis and her dad as long as she is getting away with everything.

Meanwhile, in MN, I park on the wrong damn side of the street for 30 minutes and they impound my damn car.

Community service is not a wrist slap, and neither is being sentenced to rehab. It only seems that way because we have an out-of-control criminal justice system that routinely sentences people to years and years in jail for possession of a Sex and the City premiere pre-party's worth of cocaine.

@lawyergay: She was driving drunk with a suspended license and an her ankle alcohol monitor still on a week out of rehab. The cocaine was incidental. I'm not even sure if she was charged for possession.

@Joshua Stein: I'm not arguing the merits of LiLo's case at all. I'm just pointing out that community service (the late 20th and early 21st century's answer to the coffle) and court-ordered rehab, which doesn't usually take place in Malibu mansions but rather in what can only be called prisons (or, more felicitously, reeducation camps), is not a "wrist slap."

@lawyergay: To finish this thought: The only reason you seem to view community service and court-ordered rehab as a slap on the wrist is that you live in a society that operates under a draconian scheme of substance abuse laws and punishment.

LiLo has the resources to retain high-powered criminal defense attorneys. Her community service and rehab might therefore have happened on her own terms, rather than the court's. The average wage slave can't afford that. Your perpetuation of the notion that community service and court-ordered rehab constitute a "wrist slap" contributes to the misbegotten notion that these punishments--and they truly are that--are somehow 'getting off easy.'

If this were a gay male star would Gawker dare write "warrant is out for the cock-gobbling star of....?"

@SigSauer: Yes I thought about that but really the joke is the rhyme of diving and driving. No offense intended.

@SigSauer: I don't really understand where the offense is implied in your anaology. It seems to me that referencing a gay male star's intimate behavior as "cock-gobbling" is as much a truism as stating that humans are "air-breathing".

No, the real problem introduced by your topsy-turvy hypothesising would- as Joshua points out- derive from the difficulty of finding a ryhme for "cock-gobbling" that was consistent in both theme and meter. E.g, all I can come up with currently is "cock-gobbling, shoe-cobbling" or, in a further stretch, "cock-gobbling, curb-wobbling". Now you try!

@naugahydeinplainsight: If it was a gay actor, I think they would have said, "dick sucking" instead of "cock-gobbling." The rhymes are more convenient.

"What dick sucking, cave kerplunking actor..."

uh, nevermind.

@Joshua Stein:

I like it. Personally would have made it "divin'" and "drivin," to give it the extra oomph.

I always had a problem with "cock gobbling" because it makes me stop to wonder if there's a pun going on, as in "chicken" and "turkey gobble," which there isn't.
