A Twilight-themed erotic toy. This was, alas, inevitable.

New Gawker Artist installation?

It Would Be Too Incriminating to Say Who This Conversation Was About. That Being Said...

  • "He's so cute."
  • "But only when he talks."
  • "Right? That's weird."
  • "He has a kind of Robert Pattinson thing going on."
  • "He is Pattinsony."
  • "But not as dirty."
  • "He's Pattinson post-flea dip."

obomobo: What do McSteamy from Grey’s Anatomy, Noxema girl Rebecca Gayheart, and former Ms. Teen USA Kari Ann Paniche have in common? They’re all on tape, high and naked, in Paniche’s studio apartment. Video NSFW, but the post is! This is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.

Things That Have Not Changed For Me Since College

1) I still love that moment when I’m writing something (article, short story, research paper, whatever) and everything comes neatly and wonderfully together.

2) That moment still inevitably comes at, like, five-thirty in the morning, after I started writing at 6 p.m. the day before, and started writing in earnest at like 3 a.m.

Thank god I work a job that accomodates, nay, encourages a vampiric schedule. (Also, thank god Thursday is my Sunday this week.)

Clearly this is a bad, bad time to be famous.

Us Weekly's Janice Min Steps Down as Editor

Interesting. I actually interviewed to be her assistant last year, right before I graduated college. The outgoing assistant painted a pretty appalling picture of the crazy schedule Janice had to keep to run the magazine, so I can’t blame her for wanting to skedaddle. Truth be told, I was kind of relieved when I didn’t get the job, because it was too good an opportunity to pass up but I wasn’t sure I wanted to burn myself out so early in my career. (Seriously, the hours were horrifying.) In fact, it’s a miracle she made it six years at that pace.

This billboard has been up across from my work building for a while. Before that it was Star Trek, and before that Watchmen. Since the billboard space is pretty much only visible to my building (and maybe the occasional passersby on the Westside Highway), and since my building is stocked with ‘net people, ‘neers and the like, my co-worker and I have long suspected they’re targeting us specifically with geek-friendly movies. In fact, when Star Trek was still up, I correctly guessed Transformers would be next. So the question is, what ad will replace Transformers? I’m thinking G.I. Joe. Maaaaybe District 9, though I doubt its budget is big enough, or Halloween II or Final Destination, though again, they may not be big-budget enough. Oh! Maybe Inglourious Basterds. Okay, that’s my official guess, G.I. Joe or Inglourious Basterds. At any rate, it’s kind of hilarious.

soupsoup: There are about a million douchey things about Harvey Levin but perhaps the douchiest is that ridiculous sippy cup. Stalking celebrities make Harvey thirsty! He has it (or one like it - I recall seeing a blue one as well) in every damned episode. I want to slap the damned thing out of his hand.
