    Awww... you were classy enough to avoid the "self referential" tag on this one.


    "Gawker Media recently folded Defamer, a running commentary on stories in the Hollywood trades and elsewhere, into its flagship Gawker site. Nick Denton, the company's founder, said that Defamer's traffic was simply too small to be sustainable as a stand-alone entity. "Size matters," he wrote me in an instant-message exchange."

    "Monetize" is such a clean, pretty word for "sell off".

    Make that a Jabba The Hutt doppelganger - were he in a Ron Jeremy lookalike contest.


    On the bright side, this opens the way for Geffen to buy the LAT at a ridiculously inflated price.


    See, Hollywood people still think that if you own a town's newspaper you control the town's political setup.


    (They've never gotten over Roz Russell's hat. Or her blowjob smile.)


    And maybe that's the last thing that can save newspapers at all.


    That, and Caroline getting into the Senate and passing a law obliging every American still making over $35,000 a year to subscribe to the Times.


    Stuff like that.
