Your heading regarding Robert Pattison was disrespectful to Rob and absurd. Leave the guy alone for cryin outloud. I actually go online and look for news on Rob to slam wnat to be reporters like you.
Excuse me, I need to introduce some bad-assery here for the sake of us all--everyone seems soooo frightened of losing their precious stars and as such shun any hint of dissent. Lame. What's the fun of Gawker if you stifle intelligent polemic?
Happy Sunday to you too, pet. Ding-ding-ding + ca-ching:
*"Get your Canadian visas ready..," not "Get your Candian visas ready.."
*"winter soup," not "Winter soup"
* "As the sole proprieter of Jackson's only assassination attempt, I wouldn't expect Jackson to be anything but a Coke fan, either."
*"proprietor," not "proprieter," though it doesn’t matter since the sentence jumped ‘em rails by the time you got to the period.
*Mike Myers, not "Meyers"
*Leven Rambin," not "Levin Rambin"
*Lukas Haas, not "Lucas Haas"
* "the shit? blow?" not "the shit? Blow?" (Jerze housewives item)
*You get a pass on Ashley Dupre (it’s "Dupré") because she’s a foxymoron.
*"..on her man," not "..on her mans." (Chris Rock item, 2nd sentence)
*Cut xtra apostrophe in "Lil' "Lipgloss" Mama," + she spelled the title of the song "Lip Gloss"
* "..during her first day on the job," not "..in her first day on the job.." (Sienna Miller item)
@snugbug: PS: That being said, your Rosh Hashanah fundraiser is a very nice and clever idea. Too bad a-holes like me who used to fact-check for a living caught wind of it.
@mexiback: It's all in good fun + for a good cause!
Because he's a nice Jewish boy, FK issued a fund-raising challenge in honor of the Rosh Hashanah weekend; he'll donate $5 to a NYC charity for every typo/error pointed out to him.
@snugbug: former proofreader checking in, and I'm having to restrain myself on the site lately. they really must not have any editors doing actual *editing* at all.
@saralapua: Brunch is for bourgeois olds with 401Ks. We're all play-jostling in the sandbox, and sipping Bloody Marys while at it. And you're not invited. Ciao, caro!
@snugbug: GOOD JOB correcting the journalism on this Foster Kramer. I really hope he did not waste his money on a journalism degree...he writes like my 10 year old nephew.
@labyrinthine IS DOING THIS: Eh, typos and fact-check errors are to be expected when you oughtta churn out two posts per hour, like a manic squirrel. But FK preemptively deflated criticism with humor and sass. Smart move, boosts traffic, comes across as endearing. Keep him on, Denton.
I barely know what the O.C. is. I barely know who Mischa Barton is. I have had extreme dental pain (pre and post-surgery) and it is a hell like no other, so since I know no other gossip about her, I'm inclined to believe her story.
That being said, I watched "The View" clip yesterday and I found Ms. Barton the height of irritating. Her voice could not be any throatier and affected. The sideways hairdo looked like half a curtain on a window and the wall of words coming out of her mouth without a breath made me frantic. Just the type of person I never want to encounter at a party.
@Banjo-Sea Kitten: i have encountered her, at a party, a weekend-long travel house-party, and she was exactly the same as what you witnessed. Dreadful, gross; that's what.
Aniston and those pasty Twilight kids have the best publicists in the business, hands down. It's like her publicist knows no one gives an eff about her, but the only people who don't know that are the tabloids.
I thought Russel Simmons liked the peen?
@secretagentman: This is absolutely true. I come across a lot of people who care about celebrity gossip, and I have never in my life talked to a single one who was concerned about Jennifer Aniston's love life. Ever. Who would? Her exposure at the moment is eerily reminiscent of the Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck zeitgeist from the first part of this decade, where it took Gigli to convince people that J.Lo was not Jackie Onassis. In ten years we will laugh about all of this, unless we have all killed ourselves.
Good god, that is IT. I'm starting a woman-operated movie studio wherein we shall employ good-looking male actors- as opposed to men like this Gerard dude, who look like they've wandered into 7-11 at noon for their breakfast of Marlboros and Mountain Dew.
@Scullery_Maid: If he just shaved, he'd look better already.
It's really weird, because he was smoking hot in Dracula 2000 (shut up, it was fun), and then he put on about a hundred pounds of muscle and ended up looking like a boozy ex-rugby player. And it's not like I don't like muscular men, either. It's just not working on him.
@CumaeanSibyl: I'm a long-time fan and what I've seen of him lately is so...disappointing. I really hoped he could be a Scottish Steve McQueen, but his recent films just reflect choices based on a paycheck. He's seriously starting to slide down the Russell Crowe slope.
He has his own prodco; if he selects and makes a winner of his own he could recover from this--Mel Gibson did, for a time.
@CumaeanSibyl: I'm just peeved at the inequality. I mean, there are some incredibly gorgeous, eat-'em-with-a-spoon actresses. And the most popular actors? It's like, well, I may take this cut or that cut, but I don't really want the whole side of beef. Know what I mean?
Dear Ms. Barton: It is hard to be committed against your will. Like, really, really hard. Look at how long it took Britney to get committed, and she was rocking the crazy for months. You are a liar.
@pony_express: not hard in those circumstances, but, still: she had a toothache, took some tylenol 3 and had to be committed? try again, Mischa. Just repeat what the voices said.
@pmarble: I've was in a similar situation, 15 years ago, and it was very easy to get 51/50'd. Mind you, I will admit I was high at the time and unwittingly signed whatever paper they were shoving in front of me.
Shawne Merriman is a despicable human being even if he didn't choke that broad. He'll be arrested for something or another in the near future. Then he will be picked up by the Eagles.
"Anna Wintour totally got stalked by fans on Fashion's Night Out. She's bona fide! Apparently, she kept her cool when someone screamed at her about fur ..."
One of the stalkers was Gawker's own Brian Moylan! He reported on it here: [gawker.com]
@son of spam: Why does she always look like she's sucking her nose in. Angelina does this, as well. I do not understand this. It has replaced over-emphasized pouting for red carpet photos and it's just weird.
