Emily Brill to Dad: Internet Notoriety Is a Job!

Essentially Emily, compared to you, Paris Hilton is the hardest working woman in America. But kudos on losing all the weight -- the 'spit-don't swallow' diet worked wonders.

Also doesn't she realize that before Denton can begin a feud with Steven Brill he as to settle that ongoing battle with Sam Levine the furniture king of Yonkers?

@Colonel Mustard: I have been around people like her my entire life. In general, the more they brag the less they have.

Oh, Emily. I know you read every single post concerning you on Gawker until it is pushed back to the third page by new stories, and people stop commenting so listen up. Last time I gave you advice/criticism, you responded quite quickly through your blog, so I know you are paying attention.

It is a bit nervy for you to think that Nick Denton would ever fantasize about trying to take you down. You aren't that important dear, nor is your father. He may have been wildly successful at one time within the world of media, but most of his media endeavors are now defunct.

Sorry Emily but the only reason you've received any attention in the first place was your proximity to real gawker targets like Laliberte.

As I have told you before, distance from those silly soon to be hasbeens is a positive move. However, there is a not so pleasant side effect if you continue to chase some modicum of fame. If not compared to the ridiculously pathetic antics of your former "circle," your misguided baffoonary is going to shine more brightly.

So by the time of the web 4.0 version of this girl comes out, they will just stand naked in a clear plexiglass box in Times Square all day, right?

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
I'm pretty sure she's trying to tangle with Gawker in order to raise her own profile.

And huh, lookie here-- It seems to be working!

Granted, she may be a tad verbose (that's an awful lot of words just to say, "First time past the rope, jackass?")-- and sorry, I just don't feel inclined to read the rest of her 'work' (Gawker or no Gawker), but

I'm thinking she may not be all that stupid, either.

I'm just sayin.

Though the girl does have a point...after all, can anyone remember a time when "socialite" wasn't just a polite term for "unemployed rich person?"

Does she ever literally suck her dad off, or is it just through her "writing"? The fantasy of a feud with The Steven Brill? To quote Butthead, "Zip her up. She sucks."

@Colonel Mustard: Yes, let's count the salient facts she so seamlessly weaved into this little post:

1) I am aware of the Beatrice Inn
2) I consider not having been there in the past 2 weeks an extended absence
3) I take time off from nightspots to focus on my writing (what?)
4) I refer to the Beatrice Inn as "the Bea"
5) I know how long specific signs have been in the Beatrice Inn's bathrooms
6) I know the name of the glorified bouncer at the Beatrice Inn

Ugh, I take it back. This puddle of girlslop is insufferable.

To wit, from her blog:

Nicky D Media has done it again. Breaking News from Beatrice Inn. Get it while it's hot. I haven't been down there in almost two weeks because I'm taking some time to focus on my writing. But thank god I have Gawker to keep me up to speed on the latest happenings. Really, thank god.

Today's insider scoop: "Beatrice Inn Shuts Down Sex and Drugs Forever" and refers to a message someone photographed on Bea's bathroom door regarding the venue's policy on illegal substances (they don't allow them…).

Here's a newsflash to Hamilton Nolan: that message about 'substances' has been on Bea's bathroom door, to the best of my recollection, since January.

Did somebody get a little Beatrice-struck? Just a little bit tickled to have made it past Angelo for the first time and all the way into the potty with his cam-a-wah?

I'm pretty sure she's trying to tangle with Gawker in order to raise her own profile.

Don't Denton's fantasies involve naming someone Boltlung Iron and writing in his tumblr while trying to pass it off as fake?

Or Klondike Bars. Mmm, Klondike bars.

This is really great, Rebecca. I thoroughly enjoy watching the undeserving brought low.

Still, I could tolerate almost anything this girl says, as I've met dozens of girls like her in the past. But her Betty Ford hair, I will not abide.
