Internets Foster Kamer, person who hates anonymous commenters yet comments anonymously, has declared 4Chan /b/ users to be “a pointedly dangerous and particularly insane subset of users”. I guess one of Gawker’s internet expert writers decided he was skillzored enough to take on /b/ and in response Gawker is now experiencing the anal injuries they deserve: To clarify — there is an apparent attack planned (and underway a bit early): http://boards..org/b/res/254339741 We are addressing the issue, and you may not experience problems. I guess the delicate web flower Foster has never seen /b/ before – after checking out the link he warns readers “go to that link at your own risk, because 4Chan is the craziness. I’m serious.” You know, maybe I’m not as internets importants as Foster and Gawker but I am a /b/ fan. Even I know you do not poke these skilled and awesome bears. It’s pretty clear Gawker is at a point in the construction of its media Death Star that it thinks no one can take them on. Goooooooooood luck with that, ers! Julia Allison, failed famewhore, is maybe, finally coming around to the fact that her career is basically in the trash. Now that I’ve done both the backs of NYC cabs & the backs of @Jetblue seats, I think we can all agree I’ve peaked. Time to retire!about 10 hours ago via web Can it be? Is the era of the gawker fameball finally coming to a close? Will Julia finally realize she kinda sorta almost made it, but that her time is up and move back to Chicago to get married? Will she finally stop with the Crapty “lifecasting” bs and get a real job? Even if she is attempting sarcasm or wit, she has to be somewhat cognizant of the fact that she is a total nobody at this point. This can’t be a totally oblivious attempt at a lol, right? Oh well. She’s supposedly leaving New York…maybe I shouldn’t hope for much more than that.
Sarah Lacy, arch nemesis of fun, has spent the last couple of days tweeting about that ginger Conan what’s his face hoping he will acknowledge her existence: Last time I saw conan (in person) he was shooting tonight show promos at nbc. Hopefully I’m not bad luck 🙁8:05 PM Jul 17th via txt was going to write a poignant post about colombia this am but wrote about conan instead. http://tcrn.ch/acCR0d (colombia after coffee)about 18 hours ago via web slightly sad @conanobrien didn’t RT my story http://tcrn.ch/acCR0d oh well.about 5 hours ago via web WHAT is it with these famewhores attempting to get the attention of celeb types? I’m pretty sure if Conan cared he woulda somehow responded without your arm waving and name shouting. (Ok, I @ Leonard Nimoy on twitter but that’s SPOCK. Come on. That’s not desperate fame, @’ing SPOCK is like, just acknowledging the greatness.) Jeez. Conan? Come on Sarah. You might as well not bother, because he emailed me and said he doesn’t know or care who you are, and we are going to talk Crap about you later over pizza and Fawlty Towers. LOSER! Mary Rambin, consultant and blogger, apparently woke up feeling guilty about having a normal 20-something Friday night: Kitty and I are working off the ritas, chips, salsa, AND queso from dinner last night with a little P90X. It’s a great workout!! I added 5 lb weights to the plyometrix routine and kicked my ass! Meanwhile the rest of America’s 20-somethings woke up with hangovers, ate a breakfast burrito, drank Gatorade, took a nap, and started preparing to go out and drink again tonight. Can she ever just frocking relax? Damn girl, so you went out and drank and had some nachos. No need to shoot out of bed and do aerobics. Do you think she huffs and puffs and keeps repeating “Like I never even ate it, like I never ate that calorie” to herself? Calm down, woman. At least go out and have a mimosa, and work out in the afternoon like a normal person. Jordan Reid Berkow, person who gets interviewed, spent last night reliving her experiences in Los Angeles on her blog. Apparently she was broken into while living in LA JUST LIKE IN NEW YORK!!! She goes on about moving to LA and blah blah and then, she drops these weird statements: When I first moved out to LA after graduation, I knew no one. Well, one person – my ex-boyfriend, Rob, whom I later ended up getting back together with for awhile – but really, I felt quite alone…Over the next few months worse things happened, including some crushing loneliness, and more than a little awareness that I was likely to not ever do particularly well in the career I had chosen (or in life, as I felt at the time). The next couple of years included a horrible breakup with someone whom I loved and could not be with, some questionable career decisions, a move to a beautiful house in Sherman Oaks, and a subsequent relationship that was so devastating and abusive that it continues to affect me to this day (that’s all I’ll say about that, at least for now). CLASSY. She then proceeded to inform us that she went to a Tiffany event and discovered they are still producing whatever that necklace was, and how jewelry is about memories or whatever. Fine, ok eh. But what the frock is THAT paragraph all about. What the hole does that have to do with the rest of her post? We get it, you dated Rob Who Created That Show You Should Be On Right Now. Any chance to remind us of your former almost glory, eh Jordan? Seriously what is this information for? Jordan Reid Berkow, innocent victim of online bullying, has once again found some rando idea to co-opt for her blog. Lately I’ve been loving Lisa Eldridge’s instructional videos in which she tests out different beauty products and brands, and yesterday evening I got all inspired to do one of my own. My video is less beautifully shot than Lisa’s are – we’re talking 100% natural lighting (no one’s friend) and a very fancy set called My Bedroom, but hey…work with what you got, right? Ok…in my head I read this: “I’ve been watching someone else do something really well, and I would like to add it to my list of Play Pretend activities that occupy my time every day. Teehee my version sucks, but it’s just for fun pretend time!” Bandwagoning onto things other people already have covered. Shilling for anything that will have her. Talking to nobody network shows about topics she is clueless about. She kinda reminds me of someone… Famous person Jordan Reid Berkow knows about being interviewed. The most important thing to remember? You can totally talk about Crap you’re clueless about if you give ’em snappy soundbites! When I prep for an interview, basically what I do is establish my “talking points” (the major ideas I want to get across; they’re sometimes provided to you by the interviewer or producer in advance) and jot down a few “sound bites”. Sound bites are essentially snappy sentences or phrases that get your point across succinctly and with a bit of panache – they’re what producers are usually looking to snag from longer interviews or speeches, so it’s nice to have a few prepared (why not make their job a little easier?). For example, rather than saying, “You know, it’s probably really tough on Jennifer Aniston, because, you know, she always dates guys and then they go on and usually they end up dating other people who they end up marrying or having kids with,” you say something like “Jennifer Aniston’s never ‘The One’…she’s always ‘the one before The One.’” (Not that this is my particular belief – I think there’s something a lot more complicated going on with Jennifer Aniston, and hate the idea of passing judgment on her – but you get what I mean.) Just a little interviewing FYI. Also, I need more coffee. Club Monaco top, Rachel Roy for Macy’s geode earrings, Forever 21 miniskirt. Or you can maybe stop going on tv talking about Crap you have no expertise or even interesting perspective on. “Research” for an interview? What the gd , Jordan. People getting asked questions about things they know about don’t sit around with a cheat sheet and try to come up with witty quips to hide their ineptitude. Would you just get a job already?
