After 9 months in jail Kelli Stapleton, the blogger who attempted to kill her daughter and herself, is said to be going to trial July 16th. In anticipation of this the "Friends of Kelli" are trying to raise money yet again - this time to finance the testimony of an expert witness on Kelli's behalf: Right now we are seeking funds to hire an expert witness we believe will give important insight to the judge and jury at her trial. Currently, Kelli has no assets to speak of and we are growing extremely concerned about her future without this expert...

Emily Brill is currently busy writing her "memoir", so she doesn't have much time to tweet. She also doesn't have time for the frivolous tastes of the average NYT reader: How is it possible, heading into a Monday morning, that Tom Friedman's "Grandma" is the MOST emailed item in the entire NYT? about 3 hours ago from web What do you have to say for yourself, NYT? How can your ignorant readers choose such a story to be the "MOST emailed item"??? What kind of news source posts such a piece of fluff, anyway? If I wanted to read Crap...

By now most of the internet world has heard of Blair Koenig, creator of the blog "STFU, Parents". And most of those people also know by now that she recently released a book of the same name, resulting in a flurry of interviews and tv appearances full of the usual "tell me about your blog" and "but you don't have kids" questions. This week Blair took the time to participate in a different sort of interview with GOMIBLOG. Read on to find out why she remained anonymous for so long, why she feels "like an outcast sometimes", and what has...

Dawson Stone, romantic, has devised a way to reduce women to their true worth - his "Cost Per Orgasm". I have diligently tracked my CPO for the last 4 months. It was $44.15, $20.82, $36.75 and $37.20. I recommend that every guy track it for at least a few months to see what sex is really costing you. He then shames you "beta males" with mathematical proof that he is getting more bang for his buck. Compare this to your average beta that is dating or has a girlfriend. Imagine a 30-something guy who takes his girlfriend out to one...

Jessica Quirk, trying to be a granny, is now dressing like one. She spent the weekend making herself these red leisure pants, quite the fetching statement at the retirement village scrabble game. While her grandchildren were very proud that Meemaw is finally back to making her own clothes, they wondered why she felt the need to remind them that she is, in fact, skinny: One side note - pattern sizes are drastically different from store sizes. Always make sure to read the measurements before you cut your pattern. I’m a 12 in patterns/4 in store pants. I guess she was...

After just three years online The Toast has announced they'll be shutting down July 1st. In a convo style post announcing the closing Nicole mentioned having to pay costs out of pocket and evidently after talking about the revenue problem she and Mallory asked themselves "would we want to keep running the site as a vanity project?" The answer, she said, was "Probably not!" Nicole went on to say that further discussion led them to the conclusion that "it had become clear that the bigger issue was not money, really, it was just…not wanting to do it anymore". Mallory added: It’s difficult...

Mike Martin and wife, the scream team behind the 'DaddyOFive' youtube channel, have been charged with neglect. (more…)

Brandy Wooten, apparently an influential blogger, posted a weird, expletive laden video of herself verbally abusing a McDonald's employee. It seems they didn't have Brandy's fresh baked cookies ready for her on her arrival, even though she calls ahead "every time". (I would recommend you not watch this video if you don't like loud curse words.) Telling the poor drive through woman she is "a real blogger" and intends to "tag" her, she then invites people to follow her on facebook before calling the employee a "raggedy a**". The employee then tells her to have a nice day, to which...
