    @bowel_and_the_obstructors: it's more a symbol of excess. Kate couldn't stop with twin girls and she can't have one hairdo--she must have many hair agendas, you see. And now it looks like one husband isn't going to cut it either.

    This is going to be fun.


    I can see Denton, metaphorically over your shoulder, saying "Hmm, making a mess out of people's lives, nah, still tame. Marty Singer about to f up some children. Hmm, OK, that will get his name on the lawsuit but he's not famous enough on his own, no-one gives an s. Get Kate Gosselin too. "Sleazy", "awful"? Foster, what are you, a pussy? "child-exploiting Kate Gosselin". OK, now we're cooking. Go with that."

    @Jsmoke: Oh, no props needed. It's fairly stupid. I'm always waiting for the hammer to come down whenever I'm doing it the way I think I'm supposed to be doing it, so there's that, too. I'm lucky enough to have a boss who can occasionally roll with this kind of thing without canning me. See this tag for further reference:

    Ha! They're asking for a million in damages. They'll never get that. I suppose this lawyer figure is leading them down the old garden path. Do they just want the video taken down?

    This isn't about copyright infringement. It's about return on investment. With all the work they put into generating and distributing this publicity bonanza, they need more than $1 million to pay themselves back.

    Heh. Funny how that whore, People, left out the drug use details.

    Denton's Tweet was quoted, though!

    Rebecca Gayheart should be sending Gawker a fruit basket for the publicity she received, not filing a lawsuit.

    I'm going to sue Gawker for bait and switch. I was promised a sex tape and all I got was some dude and two chicks hanging around naked and high. My pageview must have made Denton at least a nickel, maybe more.

    (2) All of them.

    So dumb, the story had gone away and now Gawker will have to air it all out-again. I am thinking there will be more tapes coming Gawker's way from "friends". Who are their reps, tis is such bad advice
