I Doth Protest, Kind Sir! There's a bitchfight going on between reporters in Minnesota that is far too obscure to go through blow-by-blow, but here's a representative assessment: "And saying the 'Daily Glean' is the among the 'most-read things on Minnpost' is like bragging about finishing first in the Special Olympics."

'Larval Lisa' Will Only Listen to The Criticism Of the Rich

Ohhhh Lisa. Horrible, greasy-haired, bull terrier of a chef that she is, she's still hanging on in this season of Top Chef. Our good friend and blogger Joshua David Stein despises her. Our commenters despise her. Other bloggers and commenters on other blogs despise her. Why? Because she's nasty and petty and back-stabbing and wins only by undermining others' achievements. So yes, there is lots of vitriol on the web. But does she read all of it? Does she care? No. Because people who read blogs and write blogs are too poor for her taste. More »

Sorority Hazing Scandal Continued: Tales of Grave-digging and Branding

In response to Long Island's Hofstra University sorority scandal, in which 19-year-old Courtney Holt said she was brutally hazed (the Phi Epsilon sorority responded that she was a mean drunk), a Hofstra alumn has written in. Surprise: the sorority is def evil, she says, and those girls are just as horrible as you might have imagined. "Although this Holt girl def seems like a psycho, a lot of the other information that she states is true... For one being Branded... yes they're branded with a three pronged fork to represent their three values (which is why they have a effing cow as a sorority symbol, and they always say 'love x3')."

Joan Collins Thinks You're Stupid

Alexis Carrington, née Joan Collins, has slammed dumb, vapid American culture. Evidently deciding to write our jokes for us, Collins recently told BlackBook magazine that "our civilization has become extremely dumbed down, with shorter attention spans. All they want are sound bites." The 75-year-old actress must miss the rococo 80's, when her Dynasty soap was churning out thoughtful, intelligent, richly braided narratives about the lives of people with names like Dex Dexter and Sammy Jo Dean Carrington. While she may have a point that tabloid magazines are complete mindless shit, I shudder at the thought of a world in which Joan Collins is the arbiter of good taste and decency and whatnot. [P6] In case you've forgotten just how intelligent and classy Ms. Collins can be, a fine example lies after the jump. More »

Did Alycia Lane Actually Call The 'Gal Cop' A 'Dyke Bitch'?

Alycia Lane, the scantily clad photo-emailing-to-married-dudes Philly news anchor who punched a lady cop last weekend, has been suspended indefinitely from her station. Also: she made $700,000 a year! KYW-TV in Philly announced that Lane "would begin a planned two-week, end-of-year vacation a week early" and then they edited her out of station promos and the holiday special. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH VIXEN JOURNOS. Sadly, this might be the end of Lane's tenure at CBS3, depending on how her second-degree assault felony case goes. And those can take a while. You call one lady cop a "dyke bitch" and suddenly no one knows you. Except: did the New York Post sweeten that quote a little bit? More »

Bikini Anchor Punches Gal Cop!

Philly local newscaster, former News 12 reporter, emailer of bikini photos to married sportscasters, and twice-divorced former dater of married WCBS anchors Alycia Lane allegedly punched an undercover lady cop in the face early yesterday morning after complaining that their unmarked car was traveling too slowly through Chelsea. And as a result we got to hear Pat Kiernan say "dyke bitch" this morning on NY1, the best way to start a week ever! More »

Why Your Grandmother Smells Like Cat Pee And Is Crazy, Explained!

This year in the Times' magazine's Year in Ideas, that annual issue devoted to not-quite-scientifically-sound science, Rebecca Skloot, daughter of brain-damaged and generally amazing poet Floyd Skloot, explains why so many single women of a certain age become cat ladies. More »

When Star Editor at Large Julia Allison's dog Lilly was running amok in our office yesterday, she had a wardrobe malfunction! That's right: vadgeflash.

Just in time for Halloween, New York Press sex columnist Kelly Krethtells us which writers and "writers" she'd like to bone next, now that already notched loser- director-pervert Eric Schaeffer on her lipstick case. We read this so now you have to, too: "James Frey... I want to curl my tongue around yours like the southern drawl does the tango with yours. I want to be your drug. Snort me, inhale me, shove me up your nose, up your ass, swallow me, digest me; you will not have to drive to Harlem to try to score. I want to search your face for scars and lick them when I find them. I want you to bite me with those altered teeth as hard as you can. I want you to guzzle some of my blood and wear the rest like a coat. Big Jim, will you be my dime bag? I'd go down dirty alleys and go down on you in them." Also: "He's that guy, the one who will lie to get into your pants." Well, yes.

Yalie and "Top Model" reject Victoria Marshman came off so evil on the show, but an IvyGate interview paints a different picture. She reveals the behind-the-scenes secrets of the show—sleep and nicotine deprivation are key—and talks about how Tyra "sicced her bodyguards" on her for taking off her high heeled shoes after being ousted (Tyra thought she was going to throw them at her!)

Big Trouble At Little 'Time Out New York' Our Freelancer Action Unit, an elite team of angry reporters, investigates publications that don't pay their freelancers. Got a gripe? Not getting paid? Drop a line!

Good stories we've heard: "Okay, so Meredith Melling Burke —you know, she's Anna Wintour's #2 at Vogue?—is going around telling this story. She has a house in Nantucket, right? And one night she and her friend decide to have a contest. They're going to go to a bar and see who can get the most townies' phone numbers. Meredith totally wins. And then later her husband finds all the numbers and he's, like, sooooo mad."

Perez Hilton, Full-Blown Diva


Is this genius stealth "promotion" for Perez Hilton, just uploaded to YouTube? Or is it footage released by fed-up producers? One argument for the latter is that the most recent video of Perez having a snit backstage at MTV's "Celebrity Rap Superstar" was pulled by Viacom from YouTube. This new clip hasn't been, yet. But who can tell in this day of PR and anti-PR? In any event, we don't doubt that Perez certainly intended to be a bitch!

Is Abbe Diaz Behind Another Crazy Food Blog Scandal? There's a new blog in town, Sympathy for the Restaurant Industry. It's anonymous, "meta-fictional," and kind of good? Also, everyone thinks it's written by Abbe Diaz.

Alyssa Shelasky Needs To Learn To Be "A Better Bitch"

When last we checked in on Glamour's resident navelgazeologist Alyssa, she was anticipating a summer of fun in the Hamptons tainted only by a mild worry that she might run into an old enemy. Luckily, it seems she's done nothing lately but make new friends! Hedge fund friends! "Older" friends! Friends who, when they see the way Alyssa's characterized her interactions with them on her bloggyblog, might not find themselves feeling quite so friendly! More »

'Gilmore Girls': Our Generation's Woodstock

From Ginia Bellafante's 'Gilmore Girls' eulogy in the Times:
Like the whole concluding season — overseen by the writer David Rosenthal rather than the series's creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who left last year — the finale of "Gilmore Girls" on the CW lacked the momentum that had made the show so special. That's a shame because the cultural significance of the show cannot be overstated.
Or can it?

Crazed Freak Claims 'Kreepie Kats' Authorship

Jim Behrle contains multitudes.
Unlike Whitman's, though, Behrle's multitudes are not Civil War wounded, sweaty dockhands, or slave laborers, but defecating bears, gay sailors, and mustachioed cats in clown costumes. And these multitudes have made their way into a segment of the popular consciousness not through the elevated lyric of a nation's soul, but through a series of amateur cartoons, most notably "Kreepie Kats," a weekly feature on the media gossip site Gawker.
According to a nonsensical, kontext-free profile in the Village Voice, a poet named Jim Behrle is the author of our favorite web komic. Is Jim an idiot—or an idiot savant? You'll have to read the piece to find out (and good luck with that), but one thing's for sure: Dude is the best looking poet we've ever seen. More »
