    Okay, this is a VERY insider comment -- which I usually try to avoid.

    The real person that got damaged by Dan Brown's hesitation is Steve Rubin, the former President and Publisher of Doubleday/Broadway. If The Lost Symbol had been published last year, he'd still have his job.

    Steve is a intelligent, perceptive man who worked for the company in various ways for almost 20 years. If you asked him a question, he would give you a clear answer.

    So Dan Brown dithers...

    Rubin is kicked upstairs to a vague job...

    And Sonny glides down the hallway with a smile on his face.

    @smithhimself: Had Steve Rubin done a better job managing Doubleday's outsized advances and the cash flow problems they caused, he would still be publisher. And I feel much more sorry for the many Doubleday employees who lost their jobs than for Steve. He's still drawing a significant paycheck in his "vague" job.

    OK, Dan Brown, you win.

    But answer me this much: Is it the Templars, the Catholic Church, or the Masons who secretly run everything on this planet? Which one is IT?

    Or is your point that they're all one and the same uber-org headquartered 1) in the Louvre 2) under the Pope's robe 3) in a broom closet at the Lincoln Memorial?

    and [Brown] was taking forever with his new book

    For what? To craft his prose? To research facts? I'm having a hard time coming up with a reason here.

    The Seth Rogen one says that he was "wolfing down pasta" and then adds a snarky witness comment of "he even took home a doggy bag." Wouldn't taking home a doggy bag actually imply that he didn't eat all of his pasta? So lame.

    What's with Russell Simmons and the women whose names look like typos? Or is it just that every "model" makes up her professional name by sitting on a laptop keyboard and seeing what shows up on the screen?

    Um, Cajun Boy - one should use a bit more respect when referring to two American icons and their private (OK for MB to tell the story - if he's a "kisser and teller") lives. Jackie was a superb First Lady and a large figure in American History and Marlon Brando has his special place as well.

    I have been told that we all fall to the level of the lowest around, but I refuse to stoop to your obvious "low-level".

    For illustrative purposes, "staff writer" on Gawker does not give you a license to casually discuss details of much more accomplished individuals than yourself as if they existed for your entertainment and source of content for your little web articles.

    Of more importance, she was married to, and bore the children of a great American President.

    I am not amused, bouche.

    Well, if we can obsess about women's weight and what they're eating, Rogen shouldn't be immune from that should he? I want equal opportunity body dysmorphic disorder mongering.

    Ang wouldn't lower herself to menacing texting the past chick. I can see, though, her seeing a friggin text from JA to Brad and then replying "Dude, seriously? Can't you just let him go?"


    At any rate, with Ang's history of knife play, blood accessorizing and cutting, I really wouldn't fuck with her. She could totally be a UN peacemaker by day, bat to the mercedes headlights by night. JA's Yoga-Fu would not help her.
