Anna Wintour's "Curious" Dress At The Big Ball

All of the important pretty people got dressed up for the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala, which was themed "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy." Vogue editor Anna Wintour wore the Karl Lagerfeld Chanel dress on the left. Of this creation, Australia's Age said Wintour "got it horribly wrong;" one blogger said it was "one of a kind... which is good because we don't need two of those;" and the diplomatic Times said it "had curiously curling crescents attached at the hips and the shoulders, giving Ms. Wintour... the fuller-bodied appearance of Botticelli’s Venus on her clamshell." Ah, "curious," not the highest of compliments. Anna could use a break, what with the LeBron James King Kong cover, the Rodarte weight thing, getting dissed by European fashionistas, etc. etc. Sad, pitiable Anna. Laugh (at a few more media celebrities' outfits, starting with Katie Holmes, pictured right) through tears (for sad monster Wintour) after the jump. More »

Jimmy Kimmel Is Fucking Ben Affleck

The long-running "feud" between Matt Damon and late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel reached new heights earlier this month when Damon shot a video in which Kimmel's comedian girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, declared she was "fucking Matt Damon." Immediately after the Oscars last night, Kimmel fired back with a truly epic effort called "I'm fucking Ben Affleck," which included appearances from celebrities like Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Don Cheadle, Robin Williams and Huey Lewis, to name just a few. The Kimmel-Damon fight is, of course, wholly manufactured, but at least has been consistently funny, starting with Kimmel's regular end-of-show gag, "Apologies to Matt Damon, we've run out of time," and extending through to Damon's on-air tantrum about getting bumped and two gags involving Kimmel's special correspondent, Guillermo. Kimmel's latest Ben Affleck video takes the joke to new lengths — and new heights in the art of free PR: More »

Snapple Lets No Tie-In Escape Its Grasp

You didn't think that two-second mention of Diet Snapple in Sarah Silverman's "I'm F*cking Matt Damon" video would get away without being turned into a crass PR ploy, did you? Today Snapple's PR firm finally got around to watching the the thing, and put together a faux-apologetic letter to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, Silverman's boyfriend. Given that the video came out five days ago (which is ten YouTube Years), they should have moved quicker. Or had a better idea. The beverage corporation's full note to Jimmy— and the world—after the jump. More »

yom kippur

Dear Devorah Rose, Dear Tricia Romano, Dear Internet

Each year (or really, every 11 months and two weeks or so, kinda), the Jews observe Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, during which leather shoes and doing it are totally forbidden. Then there are many apologies. Let it begin with us! While Emily is biologically only half a Jew, the theme of her Bat Mitzvah was "New York, New York," and her Mom did convert eventually. More »

New Season Of Sarah Silverman Show Actually Really Good


There were two careers we worried about after MTV's Video Music Awards last Sunday. Obviously, we (and others) were concerned about Britney Spears, but Sarah Silverman's equally listless performance also gave us pause: Had she lost it? Was she no longer funny? (If, you know, you ever thought she was.) Well, we've seen a few episodes from the new season of "The Sarah Silverman Program" and you'll be happy (or sad, if you hate her) to hear that the show is pretty goddamn hysterical—career crisis averted. And we found the first season to be wildly uneven, so we came with eyes open. Take this clip, where Sarah looks back at her three abortions. We can't wait for the Bill Donohues of the world to start fulminating.

The Truth About Britney Spears: A Nation Reflects

Britney Spears' performance at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards show remains the nation's only important topic of conversation. The poor thing was exploited by MTV, says Kanye West, who certainly has no axe to grind with the network even though they haven't given him one of those idiot moonman statuettes for two years. While her performance has been compared to a variety of both natural and man-made disasters, including "a catatonic reenactment of an Ambien overdose," a "partial-birth abortion as performance art," and "The Holocaust," the singer still has some defenders.

Sarah Silverman's The Bomb


Also about last night's VMA's: What the hell happened to Sarah Silverman? Either she intentionally walked the room or she just didn't bother to put together anything involving a monologue, but either way it was a completely cringe-inducing performance. We've pulled the only two bits that actually made us chuckle.

Buttafuoco and Fisher Ask, "Stunt for What?" on Less Prestigious 'ET' Spin-off

Back in 2004, when Queen Bee wannabe Hillary Rodham didn't even know that she didn't know what she knows now, a more sympathetic New Yorker self-published a book called If I Knew Then... And? Turns out that Long Island Ophelia Amy Fisher would have still fallen head over shotgun for that prime rib/subprime mortgage of a man Bill Cli Joey Buttafuoco, if only for the chance to join the Flavor Flav/Lauren Conrad level of the Pantheon of Human Dignity. So reports today's Post, which, in an "exclusive," seems to have acquired tapes of The Insider's upcoming four-night so-inside-it's-like-a-PET-scan series on Amy and Joey's much talked-about steak-house canoodling last week. Said tape was apparently played in a room for a monkey that can transcribe and voilà: "'I love it, so I would do it," Fisher said of the idea of a reality-TV show. "We have so much fun. He's so funny. People don't know that.'" More »

Some Of Us Do Think Sarah Silverman Is Funny, Comedy Central Agrees

From a Comedy Central internal email:
It gives me great pleasure to announce that we are picking up a second season of The Sarah Silverman Program. We have ordered 14 episodes that will be split between this coming Fall and next Spring. The first two weeks of ratings have proven that in addition to the show's critical acclaim, it looks like ratings winner as well —and on a Thursday night to boot. We could not be happier to get behind this show in such a significant way.
Well, some of us (cough: Emily here!) think it's a good allocation of resources, though Gawker co-editor Doree and chopping-block-headed staffers at the network might disagree. Score one for girls who get away with being bitches by being cute! We are just talking about the Sarah Silverman thing here, obvs.
