“Talk About Infectious Television! Right, You Guys?!” by Tyler Coates Project Runway Week 5 If this season of P-Run is successful at anything, it’s making me feel guilty for being an asshole.

It's really not all that different than his current profession.

Have any of witnessed the Will Ferrel impression of him? I think it's an extra on the Anchorman or Old School DVD. He's so good at doing him even James had to agree.

Well, most pimps seem to be kind of faggy. Maybe it's like when you work at McDonald's and grow to hate burgers within the first month.

@GayatriSpivak: Oh, damm you and your keen analytical mind! I concede.

Still, atheists are mad as hell, and they're not going to take it anymore. Witness the recent cottage industry of atheist-themed books (Hitchens's God Is Not Great being but one of them), and former SNL-er Julia Sweeney is doing a lot of ballsy stuff about her journey to disbelief. Anyway, I'm just saying that I'd welcome James Lipton to the (non)flock.

My favorite part of his interview was when he admitted (via his painfully rehearsed answer to the when-you-reach-the-pearly-gates-what-do-... question they turned back on him) that he's an atheist. Anybody else catch that? Atheists: the last socially acceptable target of prejudice in the mainstream United States. Discuss if you're bored.

Didn't know he was a pimp? I guess that explains why he doesn't know he's a tool either.

"When I wrote this chapter and gave it to my wife to read, she said 'you're not going to put that in the book, are you?' And I said, 'Bitch, Iceberg Lipton will put whatever the f*ck he wants in his book,' and then I cut her."

Lipton says: "I had to accompany my clientelle to the Rue Pigalle, which is where these things occurred. And then I'd take them up to the room and I had to remain there because they were very nervous, they were young Americans for the most part... and they didn't speak French."

And when I blew some of them it was all just part of the gig, really!

Idea: Let's start a campaign to have Tionna Smalls take over "Inside" hosting duties while Lipton goes on his book tour.
Who's with me?!?

The question came off more hopeful than inquisitive. After all, there's not much job security for a panelist on The View.

If you really stop and think about it, JL would be the scariest pimp ever. Can you picture him drilling into you with that steady gaze as he calmly asks you "where the money at, ho"? Sometimes the scariest timebombs are the ones that don't go off.
