John Travolta: Biggest Environmental Hypocrite

According to the results of our poll yesterday, you, our angry readers, believe John Travolta is a worse environmental hypocrite than any other celebrity! This one was a runaway. Travolta got 48% of the vote, crushing second-place hypocrite(s) Brangelina, who only got 18%. Barbra Streisand (17%) was a close third, followed by Madonna (11%), Chris Martin (5%), and Leonardo Dicaprio, who you guys must really have a crush on, at just 2%. From the comments, it appears that Travolta's whole "owning five personal planes and having a runway in my yard" thing really pushed him over the top. A wise choice. [Previously. Results rounded to nearest percentage point.]

The Cold Hard Truth

PEREZ LIE DETECTOR RESULTS. It's all true. They made out! John initiated it! There was tongue! Perez pulled away first! Then they ask Perez if he's doing all this for publicity and he says no! And it's a lie! Haha! If you need me, I'm going to be running around in circles on the floor, weeping.

Your Favorite Critics Are... For books, the winner of our poll was Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times, with 27% of the votes. (The New Yorker's James Wood came in a close second, with 23%.) For film, let's have a big round of applause for Anthony Lane, also of the New Yorker, with 63% of the votes. Congratulations, Michiko and Anthony! Your t-shirts are in the mail.

New York Souls More Expensive Than Average

NYC residents, an investigation has found, are the only people on earth who are not for sale. Time Out went around offering cash to people on the street to sell their stuff on the spot—t-shirts, do-rags, pins, their own time. The reporter managed to get a do-rag, some pins, and an hour of quality time with some people (for $150-$50), but concluded that 72% of all citizens are "not for sale." Further, "Both athletes and hipsters refused my offer of $100 for their shiny tights," which proves only that athletes and hipsters are not good economists. We're not so sure we trust these results. The offer of a Murray Hill condo, several new suits, a Blackberry, and $140,000 a year seems to convince plenty of New Yorkers to become corporate lawyers. [TONY]
