Former Crazy Wikipedia Muse Reduced To Looking At Mediabistro
Rachel Marsden, the former pundit on the Fox show "Red Eye" who was tossed out for being too crazy, and who then went on to date Wikipedia guru Jimmy Wales before breaking up with him and putting his clothes up for sale on eBay, is now, predictably, unemployed. So she's trawling for jobs on Mediabistro, just like you! Marsden has supposedly applied to be a senior publicist at Maxim [P6]. Negatives: She has demonstrated that she is a serial loose cannon who will probably seduce the magazine's top editors and draw them into a scandalous and embarrassing public affair. Positives: She doesn't really like the Black Crowes, either.

The Last Temptation Of Jimbo Christ: A Non-Nerd Cheatsheet To The Wikipedia Founder's Downfall
How to describe His Holiness Jimbo Wales? The pugnacious entrepreneur Jason Calacanis can't stand dealing with Wales, because the Wikipedia founder is so humble, so calm, so staid that, unlike Calacanis's other would-be competitors, he takes no bait and is above reproach. So Jason must be pleased to see Wales revealed as human, and in fact as a dude who picks up chicks using his own online encyclopedia. The nerds have already heard this story in, like, fifty volumes on Valleywag, but here's a quicker version. The point: Jimmy Wales is an Internet Christ figure, this was his Last Temptation, and even though he failed he's still the Son of God. More »

Booted Fox News Babe Re-Infiltrates Studio, Hearts Roger Ailes
Fox News correspondent and alleged harasser Rachel Marsden was escorted from the News Corp. building last year after parting ways with late-night show Red Eye. But now she has been allowed back on the premises to distract terrified American homeowners into staring at her outfit instead of thinking about what she's actually saying, which is that the free market is about to foreclose on their homes. Marsden wrote in to say she did a Fox Business News segment Friday on subprime mortgages, and that it was in the building from which she had once been banned. Also? She loves everyone at Fox and they love her back. From the email: More »

Rachel Marsden Is So Over Fox News, Greg Gutfeld
Ex-Fox News host Rachel Marsden wrote in to let everyone know she's totally moved on from her former "Red Eye" co-host Greg Gutfeld. You'll recall that Marsden was once accused of stalking and questions were raised over a rape allegation she made in the late 1990s. Last year she was escorted from Fox studios after what she described to us as "a format change in the show from 'politics and news' to 'tits and ass,' which fell outside my area of specialization." (As to the photo at left, Marseden has said on her website it was taken "just for fun" for a site called "Babes for Bush.") Marsden, also known as Canada's answer to Ann Coulter, has totally moved beyond all her Fox woes, she writes in two not-at-all-bitter emails to Gawker, reproduced after the jump. More »

Rachel Marsden Innocent!
Rachel Marsden, former "Red Eye" on-air eye-candy who was once allegedly "escorted" from Fox studios, and who has been accused of being a bit stalky, wrote into Gawker this morning to let us know that she's officially been exonerated of all wrongdoing ever. Or at least she won't be charged with harassing her Candian counterterrorism officer ex. The emails from the gentleman that she made public and those nudes allegedly of him she sent to the papers have finally proven her innocence! Canada's National Post helpfully adds: "Ms. Marsden, a former Republican Babe of the Week who has appeared on Fox News and CNN, has a history of criminal harassment, having pleaded guilty to stalking a Vancouver radio host in 2004. Her swim coach at Simon Fraser University also accused her of stalking him in the 1990s, but the allegation was never proven." [National Post]

Rachel Marsden Tries To Save Canada From Leaky Terror-Helpers!
Rachel Marsden, who was once fabulously escorted from Fox News, and who has a terrible romantic history that involves, let us say, perhaps following former boyfriends, has raised a huge stink in Canada. She turned in her former paramour as a national security threat! When she was jilted by an Ontario anti-terror cop, she wisely put pictures of him on her blog and said he gave her super-confidential documents and sent some nude (headless) pictures allegedly of him to the National Post. (What gives? No one ever sends us naked pictures of their former cop lovers!) Now, for her defense of Canada's safety, he's called innocent and she might get charged with a crime—trumped-up "harassment" charges! Great news: Today she's printed emails that she says are from him, documenting their two-year affair. (Though the emails only span a period of two months at the end of 2005! That's probably an oversight.)

Howard Kurtz: The T.V. Said Iraq War Is A Debacle!
In a weird adapted excerpt from his book on T.V. news that apparently comes out tomorrow, Washington Post nosepicker-columnist and CNN blatherer Howie Kurtz lets us know that the liberal T.V. painted the Iraq war as a bloody place where people get blown up and bad things happen! That is so crazy! How could they?! (Is the rest of his book so ludicrous?) More »
Stalky Canadian Rachel Marsden "subtly" tweaks former employers at Fox News' Red Eye: "Nowadays, even if the U.S. government certifies someone as one of the top political commentators in the world, you're more likely to end up talking about Britney Spears' crotch." Uh, wasn't that in the job description? [TVNewser]
