@Hez: I heard he doesn't even like them. And I heard it from somebody who'd spent the night at his place more than once.

@raincoaster5: Gothe is also a wine reviewer, so I'm betting he doesn't even HAVE cats. (sorry, finger spaz)

@MisterHippity: We have a version of this in Canada. Jurgen Goth (of the CBC afternoon classical music radio show Disk Drive) is always nattering on about his cats. And he doesn't even own any. I guess that makes ALL Canadians starmakers?

@Gazelle: Hezmerizing. I could not believe it when I saw it on her blog. How much time must she have taken?

Julia Allison should send her flowers: putting that together is the most exposure to Julia's pictures any Gawker commenter has endured without snarking.

@Denton:

"I deal in dreamers
and telephone-screamers
lately I wonder what I do it for
if I had my way
I'd just go out those doors and wander
down the Champs Elysees
going cafe to cabaret
thinking how'd I feel when I find
that very good friend of mine ...
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
and no one's future to decide
you know I'd go back there tomorrow
but for all the work I've taken on
stroking the star-maker machinery behind the popular song ..."

Guys, do you think Julia's ok? Because that link to her blog shows it hasn't been updated since 5:22 this morning! And her last post said she feels like dying...
Quick, someone call Diana Wolozin so she can call MK to call security to call 911!

She has not "risen to fame." Simply stating that does not make it so.

Sure she was on the cover of Time Out New York — that's the same magazine she used to work for as a dating columnist (and still works for as a "contributor," according to the masthead).

You could post 10 items about my cat on Gawker every week for six months, and my cat would be more famous than Julia Allison is by now.

And here's the kicker — I don't own a cat.
