Andre Bauer: The hard, loud racism of being a huge ignorant racist.
WatchThis segment from last night on 2010 trends was hilarious (eating flowers, “O’Trendigan”), but also had something about it that makes me think it was written by someone new…like maybe the new female staff writer? It just has that feel about it, in a very refreshing way. (Watching this last night I sat up and said “OMG, a chick wrote this!”) I don’t know if...
The Dos and Don'ts of Online Publicity, For Some...
[This is long and obvious, but it’s been driving me nuts for years. So here is my Guide to Online Publicity (For Dummies).]
There’s a question that has been bugging me for years: why are 99% of publicists and promotion/marketing people complete useless failures when it comes to blogs and online outlets? I keep waiting for the industry to figure things out and catch up, but it never...
The Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time: The... →
I love The Notebook. I own The Notebook. And yet I absolutely loved Gabe’s takedown of what is, of course, a totally ridiculous movie.
The only thing missing is the supercut of Rachel McAdams running that I’ve been asking the internet for for nearly a year now. (Internet: give it to me! She’s ALWAYS RUNNING, especially in the Notebook, where she’s also usually HITTING.)

Blogger Dreams
Last night I dreamt that fameblogger/lifecaster/sweet-lady-whose-online-persona-is-best-ignored was facing the death penalty for crimes against the internet, and I was her defense lawyer. My passionate final arguments began thus: “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: Julia Allison is annoying…”
We lost. Before she was to be executed by the people of the state of New York, I took my...
Things Co-Workers Have Shown Me That Are Worse...
Conde Nast fired a chick for showing her new breast implants in a closed private office to close co-worker friends? That is NOTHING. Here are some things co-workers have shown me over the years:
* Crotch area to demonstrate the effectiveness of recent laser hair removal.
* Crotch area, in order to focus-group a suspicious bump. (The consensus: ingrown hair.)
* Cybersex IMs
* Cybersex emails
*...

“HERE now is a new Italian restaurant of the Manhattan old school, built for socialites and those who finance them, staffed by handsome, rakish men with huge wristwatches. It’s the sort of place where in the movie, based on a novel as yet unwritten by Dana Vachon, you might cast Anne Hathaway as the lead and Diane Keaton as her mom. You’re welcome, too. For all this, Casa Lever is a...
You know how one ball hangs lower so they don't...
1. Is it the same ball on all guys?
2. If no, is it correlated with dominant hand and/or “dress to” direction when being fitted for a tuxedo by an Italian tailor in his ’90s on a sitcom in the ’90s?
I’ve actually been wondering this off an on for about ten years, but never at the right time (when I have a statistically significant number of naked men standing in...
