Oh so its just another aggregation based celeb gossip blog. So? You would think with this woman's connections it could have given us a bit more fresh content. This is just as bad looking as TMZ and thats saying a lot. #bonniefuller
Biggest surprise? Not one bit of breaking news or original scoopage on the entire (loooong) front page! We can get force-fed Twilight coverage --and we will-- anywhere. There's nothing clickworthy here at all.
In short, day one seems to prove what many naysayers were saying when this whole deal was announced: there are already enough, i.e. too many, pink-and-flashy celeb gossip sites on the web... it's completely unnecessary... #bonniefuller
On the bright side, the cretinous illiteracy of the copy makes up for the relentless parade of fug design.
Quoth the Fuller in a post scriptum to her welcome letter:
"And [thanks] especially to designer EunSun Lee who worked so hand in hand (sic) with Willie and I (sic) to design the all-new HollywoodLife. Thanks, thanks, and triple thanks to everybody!"
EunSun Lee, you naughty rascal! Bonnie Fuller, you accusative case-challenged, dyslexic minx! Scotch, bourbon and triple sec for you both! #bonniefuller
I came here specifically to comment on the size of the pictures, so I'm glad you were as turned off by them as I was. Also, every single headline except for two has at least one exclamation point (the two that don't are questions). The whole thing definitely needs tweaking.
@Matt Cherette: They're huge, right? I can't really be subtle about reading celebrity gossip at work if my entire screen is taken up by Twilight forehead. #bonniefuller
@mfnher: I know, right? It's almost as if she took them directly from the photo agency and then forgot to resize everything. Pictures that big should be placed after a cut and/or turned into clickable thumbnails. #bonniefuller
Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden
apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden
Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.
And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden
@Motoko Kusanagi: From where I'm standing, it would appear to be a positive correlation. It's a good day when I get tripped up by fewer than five unresponsive scripts, infinite waits for comments to load or what have you. #joebiden
@Motoko Kusanagi: Oh yeah, I didn't mean to quibble. I agree that the site gets fancier all the time, but features seem to break often. I should have added before that it could well be my OS and browser causing headaches most readers don't experience. And in all fairness, I haven't been reading long enough to judge contemporary content against the past. #joebiden
Not sure what point you're trying to make, Amrita... that you think Cheney's worldview makes some sense? That Cheney was initially popular, before everything he did brought his popularity rating to a low of 28%? I love it that Biden is willing to call a moron a moron. This is a ridiculous post. #joebiden
Oh, and if you're trying to poke fun at Vice Prez Biden for weeping during the debate when he spoke about his first wife and baby daughter who died, well then, that's just messed up. #joebiden
@Conchie Birdie: One might argue that it was the worst kind of political hackdom for him to bring them up expressly to show his "empathy" side and try to squeeze a tear out of his plastic-surgeryized eye slots. #joebiden
I'm absolutely NOT a supporter of ANYTHING Dick says... but, Good Lawwd, Biden, Bin Laden will always BE a part of the issue. I'm sorry, I guess if you had the prez saying this I could understand... but, uh, Joe? Nope.
That being said, why are we posting crap from Fox News anyway - I thought we weren't supposed to take this stuff seriously? #joebiden
I know next to zilch about the west coast despite four visits there (all business), so I am the best mark for a map, except...I want totally GAY landmarks, you know, Judy's house, where Stewart Grainger got killed by a hustler, Rock Hudson's house, Bette Davis...surely there is a tour for me.
This isn't much worse than the actual star maps they sell in Hollywood, which direct you to places like Lucille Ball's house, a condo some desperate Realtor claims Brad Pitt used to rent, and the fence in front of the gate in front of the road leading to Tori Spelling's mom's house.

WeepyVP JoeEither this new crop of staff writers is utterly fucked, or the editorial direction has taken a nosedive, or both.
Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden
