OMG Bears, nice glasses, is on her way to Costa Rrrrrrrrrica. Since you obviously have to acclimate yourself to the differences between Brooklyn and Costa Rica, she is relocating for the night before her departure: Leaving Brooklyn to sleep a few hours in a location closer to EWR (don't worry, it's not a gutter) and then off to Costa Rica very early. about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck I don't know about you, but my first thought was "Bears is going to sleep in a gutter???" I'm really glad she cleared that up for me. I was kind of worried....

Sarah Lacy, world culture lover and socioeconomics expert, says the TED con (now held in Long Beach) has just gotten too elitist. Apparently what used to be a fun, restricted event where you could "hang out with Al Gore and Meg Ryan at the same dinner" is now a snotty little gathering of people who think they are too good to include The Sarah Lacy in the fun. In what she claims is her "last rant on TED": Now when the day’s sessions are done there’s a hierarchy of parties throughout the LA-area with strict lists and security. Cliques within...

Mandajuice, don't forget she's skinny now, recently declared "I clearly drink too much". Saying "if I only have 3 drinks in a night, I consider that a GOOD night. That's... sobriety", she went on to explain what she plans to do about the situation: ...I have ZERO intention of quitting. I will never join a 12-step program.

Instead, Mandajuice will simply live around her drinking: ...I'd rather work on harm reduction - never EVER driving after drinking. Never drinking with strangers or on first dates....

Shauna Ahern, has gluten problems according to herself, is apparently not making enough money writing books and Kickstarter begging. She has had to lower herself to become...a grocery store person. She made the announcement via a nine grillion word instagram post. This morning I walked into work at 7 am to see this. Already, the day was good. This week, I started a new job for the first time in over a decade. I'm working three days a week at the incredible grocery store on Vashon. Why? I've grown weary of the internet being my only workplace. I like it here...

Babble.com has been offline for quite a while now. Other than claiming a "server outage" as the cause, they have been silent on twitter about the problem. Babble was evidently un-partnered by Disney in early March, but rumors of writer payment issues have been circulating since December. Is this the first sign of possible problems? Or is it just a 48 hour server outage? Update: Minutes after this post went live babble.com came back online with a message that they are "busy adding some exciting new features to the site" and to "please check back later".

Jessica Schroeder Quirk, wearing that, wore...that today, silencing once and for all the pervasive pregnancy rumors.  Why she bothered to get dressed at all is a mystery, since she seems to be staying home from her grueling studio work: Friends and fam in Indiana have been e-mailing us about the roads.
