    Sarah Palin's Fake SAT Scores Forged From Born-Again Virgin Dawn Eden

    Dawn Eden is a former rock journalist better known as the copy editor who got fired from the New York Post for being too conservative, later writing a book about not having sex. How fitting, then, that she somehow re-appears in the midst of the Sarah Palin report card forgery. The report card "is is in fact a forgery made from my SAT scoresheet, which I posted in January 2004," Eden blogs. More »

    Let a Hundred Ladyflowers Bloom

    Dawn Eden was a copy editor who got fired from the New York Post for being too conservative. It's true! She wrote a book about not having any sex called The Thrill of the Chaste. It's just been translated into Chinese! Since Dawn so enjoyed our last effort at coming up with alternate titles for her book (oh god we've been doing this a long time), she asked in an email if perhaps we might have some ideas for the alternate title of the Chinese edition. We do! But we can't share them because we're writing our own competing book on how sex is great. For the Chinese title we're thinking The Great Leap Whore-ward. [The Dawn Patrol]

    Crazed Christ-Loving Re-Virgin Quits 'Daily News'

    Self-styled "former popular-music historian" turned revirginized Catholic loonytune Dawn Eden is no longer a deputy news editor at the New York Daily News. She says she's leaving to take her "dream job" as director of the Cardinal Newman Society's Love and Responsibility program, whose "projects include promoting Eucharistic Adoration, monitoring commencement speakers, and campaigning to stop Catholic campuses from hosting Eve Ensler's play that reduces women to their anatomy." Dawn is "elated, excited, and, most of all, thankful," which is just how we'd feel about basically any news if we hadn't gotten laid since March 2003. And from what we hear, her Daily News co-workers are pretty elated to see her go! More »

    Google Doing Its Part To Keep Curious Pre-Teens Disgusted By Sex

    Relentless self-promoter/professional hymen-regenerator Dawn Eden wants to make sure we're aware of the following:
    The number one Google hit for "sex" ... is Salon's interview with me. I discovered that inadvertently — a blog reference to it came up when I Technoratied my name last night.
    Congratulations, Dawn! Just one question: Does self-Googling count as masturbation? It just seems so, we don't know, unchaste. More »

    Taking the Bait: Dawn Eden is a Publicity Whore

    From the hymen-regenerator herself comes this courteous email:
    Dear Gawker, Today is the official release date of my book, The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On, and to mark the occasion, I've launched a YouTube series, "Chastening Thoughts."
    After the jump, look on in horror and wonderment as Dawn shares excerpts from her work of literary greatness, the mere existence of which proves for all time that there is no God. But maybe you should buy a copy anyway, so that Dawn can finally afford undereye concealer. More »

    Irresponsible Rumormongering: Lenore Skenazy's Replacement Just Crazy Enough To Work?

    So this is just crazy enough to be true, but still pretty frigging crazy: the News is going to fill its lady vacancy (created by the canning of Lenore Skenazy) by giving a columnist job to... wait for it... Dawn Eden! That's right, the professional hymen-regenerator herself. Our source on this sounded slightly dubious, and who wouldn't? If you know anything, send it in. More »

    Dawn Eden Has Been A Re-Virgin Since March 2003

    Born-again former groupie and author of The Thrill of the Chaste Dawn Eden is, stunningly, finding it a bit tough to locate the special someone who deserves her regrown ladytreasure. The problem? Even though "[celibacy] is a state of grace, where nothing penetrates you," sometimes things can get a little out of hand: "Kissing happens." It happens but rarely, though: Dawn does date, but "not very often. And not in a while." So has she been, you know, taking care of her own needs? GOD, no! "From the beginning, when I first started masturbating I always felt depressed afterward. As I drew closer to Catholicism I realized that masturbation was against my faith." More »

    Yonder Stands Your Virgin

    From issues of sexuality to issues of no sex at all, here's a promo clip that permanently cross-legged hymen regenerator Dawn Eden made for her new book, The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On. Remember how we all thought that Twyla Tharp musical was gonna kill Bob Dylan? Well, if he survives this one, we know he's bulletproof. More »

    Dawn Eden Damns with Faint Acknowledgement

    Former New York Post and current New York Daily News staffer and sex-averse blogger Dawn Eden has her book coming out in early December, just in time for Christ-mas. The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfilmment while Keeping Your Clothes On indeed sounds like a barrel o' laughs, but of particular note are a couple excerpts from the acknowledgements:
    Very special thanks to Andrew Krucoff, who boosted my profile when he interviewed me in August 2004 for Gawker.com, and George Gurley of the New York Observer, who interviewed me in February 2005 after I lost my job at the New York Post. I'm grateful to Greg Daniel of W Publishing Group, who spotted the Observer piece and approached me about writing a book. And I'm grateful too to Michael Cooke and Martin Dunn, who also saw George's article and offered me a job at the Daily News that was far better than the one I had lost. ... Finally, very special thanks to Col Allan and Susan Edelman of the New York Post, without whom this book would not exist. When I think of you, I think of Genesis 50:20.
    No, that's not the part Samuel L. Jackson quotes when shootin' people in Pulp Fiction; it's about turning evil into good, etc. Enjoy also this (subtitled!) clip of Eden chatting up the joys of restrained at eros at this week's Makor talk at the 92nd Street Y.

    Dawn Eden Previews Her Book

    How have we not seen this yet? Daily News copy editor Dawn Eden — everyone's second favorite scary conservative Catholic after Mel Gibson — has posted on her blog a tantalizing preview of her forthcoming book, The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On. The book is her inspirational account of how she found God (or some such), stopped having sex (or some such), and discovered happiness (somehow). We're still busy trying to unpack this bit on gay men, straight men, straight women, and TV: More »

    Dawn Eden's Hot Mom: Our Lips Are Sealed

    You all know Dawn Eden, right? Former NY Post headline writer canned for being too vocal on religious issues, rescued by the Daily News, and eventually got a book deal because that's what publishing houses eat for lunch these days? OK, she just made my day. I may never post again. (Hold your applause.) When I asked for tips earlier I was desperate enough to ask for pics of your mom. She did not fail. More »

    Judith Miller and Dawn Eden's Secret Love Child TK?

    FishbowlNY makes a great point: Leaky Times reporter Judith Miller and the Daily News' very-Christian headline writer Dawn Eden have a lot in common: They're both on some sort of hiatus (Eden from her blog, anyhow), they're both working on books (Dawn's writing some "don't have sex" thing, and Judy's making bank on her rumored deal), and they both threw their own shit at the office fan (Eden left the Post after her editing skills got a bit too pro-Jesus, and Miller, well, you know). Plus, we'd like to add, they both do what they're told without skepticism or question (Miller by the government, Eden by G-d). More »

    Is it just us or does that top headline (click to enlarge) make absolutely no sense, even for a Post hed? I mean, Tom Cruise is famous for being in movies called "Mission Impossible," and yes, the subhead is informative, if credulous, so we're with them that far. But when we search for some clever double entendre — or even a cheesy pun — we come up dry. More »
