Gawker: Sponsors

Come to Our Beck's Beer-Filled Gawktoberfest!

Richard — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:24:00 EDT

Hello beer lovers (which hopefully means all of you)! Gawker and one of our fantastic sponsors, Beck's Beer, are throwing a little Oktoberfest party next week, and we'd like to see you there. We're calling it, um, Gawktoberfest, it's on Gawker HQ's roof deck, and it runs from 7-10pm next Thursday, 10/23. We'd love for all of you to come, of course, but the space can only hold so many people. So we have to limit the number to 100 folks. We're trying to be as fair as possible about who gets to come to this epic event (free food and beer!), so if you're interested, fill out the form after the jump before this Friday at noon and we'll select 100 (+1) people (who are over 21) at random from that list and notify them via email on Friday afternoon.

Beck's Beer Presents: Gawktoberfest
Gawker HQ Roof
Date: 10/23 7 - 10 PM
Food and Beck's Beer will be provided
Note: By filling out our form readers will be opting-in to Beck's Key Club.
As always, standard contest rules apply.

Win a Starter Wife Gift Bag and Be The Happiest Divorcée Currently Drunk In Your Living Room

Richard — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:53:00 EDT

Ooh ooh! Check it out y'all! A sponsor, uh, sponsored contest! This one comes from the new USA series The Starter Wife. A starter marriage is defined as a first marriage that lasts less than 5 years and is over before the couple has children. After the jump are the names of 5 former celebrity couples...to win you have to identify if they qualify as "starter marriages" according to this definition. So if the couple broke up in under five years, had no kids, and it was both parties' first marriage, the answer is Yes. If they lasted longer than five years, had kids (adoption counts!), or at least one party was previously married, then the answer is No. If you get them all right and then we select your name, you get this fabulous gift bag!

1. Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman
2. Tom Green & Drew Barrymore
3. Halle Barry & David Justice
4. Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson
6. Angelina Jolie & Jonny Lee Mille

Send responses to contests@gawker.com and enter for a chance to win the Starter Wife Gift Bag (pictured below). Don't forget to check out The Starter Wife, premiering Friday night on the USA Network. Standard contest rules apply.

After the jump you'll find a list of famous sexual liaisons, and all you have to do is name the celebrity that matches up with the once-secret lover. Of the readers who name all five correctly, one, randomly selected, will win a year's subscription to Netflix. Details after the jump!

Name the celebrity that matches up with the once-secret lover....
