I thought I'd seen that blog, too, although I didn't know it was Emily.

@Trixie from Toronto: Please. You know which one of those two it is.

raincoaster

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> I noticed she deleted the Emily post. She's either reading Gawker obsessively or Emily told her to get rid of it. In any event, now I feel bad that I cut and paste it and might have embarrassed Emily too. Gawker Gods, delete it!

raincoaster

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> A detailed, breathless explanation of the kind of blogger-made gossip I did not want nor need to know, but kept reading anyway. Still, I'm not sure that can be used as evidence people want to read about Ms. Allison's travails anymore. I read it only in the hopes that at the end, there'd be a Sopranos/Journey style fade to black.

saltwatertaffy

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> @the cajun boy: I've never read such an unnecessary public article about private issues written with so much skill.

I'm sort of torn between an admiration for the dead on observational rightness of the article (including E.G.'s sort of disturbing belief in confessional over-honesty), a feeling of TMI, and sympathy for the skewering that Emily got.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> @the supergoddess: Josh only refers to the secret blog as "Heartbreaksoup" in the article - there is a blog titled that on wordpress, but it is password protected.

It was pretty stunning to read yesterday morning - stunning in the sense that I couldn't believe that Josh got paid to write an article about his secret relationship with Emily and that P6Mag actually published it - it was so insidery. They must be really at a loss for content if they're publishing this AND featuring the nobody granddaugther of Bogart and Becall.

the supergoddess

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> Wow. This post is a swirling vortex of wasted lives. The only sad thing is that if they all collapsed into themselves into a gigantic vacuous big crunch, there would be many more to take their place. Douchebag whack-a-mole. It is amazing to me that with as many times JA reflects upon herself in photos that she takes herself, she has yet to really look herself in the mirror. And that video of those idiots flitting around that soiree, makes me glad I live in LA.

KarenUhOh

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> Julia Allison, self-induced, self proclaimed "Media Kryptonite." Nick, are we supposed to be persuaded into liking this vapid ditz? What exactly are we trying to do here? by writing about the recent "woe is me" attitude that Julia would like us to all buy into, attention is being diverted from the fact that she has a deep, psychological need to have her every move, conversation, and relationship validate by thousands of people of the internet. She would sell out a fight with her own mother if it meant any sympathy or attention for your attempted underdog heroine. Does Hud not make a valid point?

BETHCOOPER

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> I don't know why I bother, but I just went to her disturbing blog, and I am sure Emily is delighted to see JA felt the need to post their exchange:

Emily:
oh dude, you have no idea how bad of shape i was in yesterday
Emily:
[redacted] like found me on the kitchen floor unable to move
Julia:
i think i know that pose
Julia:
i've been there, sobbed that.

And this comes just after she whines all pouty-faced about how she'd wished someone had told her two years ago about how difficult it is to conduct her personal life in public.

SO WHY DOESN'T SHE STOP?!!

Pathological narcissist, I say.

Trixie from Toronto

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> A craven self-promoter believes that any publicity is good publicity. Nick Denton provides said self-promoter publicity constantly, almost exclusively mocking in nature. Readers and commenters fear that this attention will help her career. Now, her media friends can not be seen with her in public.

Denton knew what he was doing and it was righteous.

TheHonJudgeSmails

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> @karion: i know. i don't know why they don't make it available online. it sucks.

so i'll offer my summary of the article...

josh thought emily was cute. he started to flirt with her via IM from his dest at gawker HQ. they made out on the train ride back from choire's love shack on fire island. a relationship ensued. emily started writing about the relationship on her super-secret blog. josh found out about the super-secret blog and was flattered but weirded out at the same time. josh fell out of like with emily. he broke it off with her. she got pissed and wrote bad things about josh on her super-secret blog that by this point, wasn't so super-secret any longer. moral of the story...DON'T DATE A BLOGGER!

and i have to say, in my humble opinion, an unflattering portrait of emily is painted in the piece. but josh comes off as kind of a dick too. a no-win situation all around.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> Well, the difference is that JA seems to be a decent person doing a really philosophically lousy thing as a profession. While Hud Morgan seems to be an incredibly shitty person doing that same lousy thing as a profession.

If I had to pick one to survive in an Star Trek style alien gladitorial match, I guess I'd wager my 400 quatloos on J.A.

Go home and masturbate!

Tears in my 'tini

My blog is not a toy

]]> <![CDATA[Media Kryptonite]]> I actually do feel bad for JA, in that she has the self-esteem of a gonzo porn starlet (i.e., none), but that little twinge of empathy gets annihilated pretty quickly by her relentless fame-gobbling.

I mean, at least gonzo girls get famous because they can handle anal DP.

JA wants to be a piece of zeitgeisty fluff and be taken seriously (hence no exposed girlie-globes for JudgeSmails).

Good luck with that, darlin'.
