The folks at Gawker Creative Services — the ones responsible for the little sponsored posts that run on the front page from time to time — is hiring. Read on if you're interested.

We reported this morning that Harold Ford had never filed a New York tax return because that's precisely what his spokeswoman Tammy Sun told us. Now she's trying to backpedal, and, we hear, lying to other reporters about our story.

Remember that hipster trailer park at the Brooklyn Nut Factory that everyone was talking about? Well, the cops finally heard about it and they're none too happy. The evacuated the place this afternoon.

Some Duane Reade locations are now selling sushi, which means it's now technically possible to pick up deodorant, aspirin, and California Rolls at the same time. You probably shouldn't take advantage of this new luxury, though, says a ridiculously brave Village Voice staffer who sampled the drugstore's selection of raw fish so you don't ever have to: "There is no earthly reason to ever, ever, ever buy sushi at Duane Reade." Okay then! [VV]

Survivor and The Late Show are enjoying high ratings, Faith Hill will be the guest judge for Project Runway's finale, Barbie's new job, and which of our favorite shows are on the cancellation chopping block.

How many discredited former Bush White House officials can one newspaper publish? Fred Hiatt is collecting them like Pokemon. Marc Thiessen, Bush speechwriter and torture enthusiast, will be writing a weekly column for The World's Worst Opinion Section.

Today at Gawker.TV, The Office adjusts to Sabre, Survivor is more like Real World, Road Rules Challenge than you'd expect, Community pays homage to The Breakfast Club, and Archer is all about the gratuitous (and animated!) tits and ass.

People occasionally us bizarre messages that they think they're sending to someone we've profiled on the site. Why do they do that? We really don't know. But they do! Earlier, we shared a few messages we've received recently. Another bunch is below.

Remember when everyone thought Ke$ha wrote her name on the Hollywood sign? Well, she didn't but some people trying to call attention to proposed development around the sign have. What are they trying to make it say?

• NBC's coverage of the Winter games began on somber note today. [LAT]
• Vogue's on a roll! Not only was Tina Fey's scar airbrushed off the cover of the March issue, the mag screwed up the letter sent out to promote it, too.
• Harold Ford has taken a leave of absence as a political analyst for NBC while he decides whether to try and carpetbag his way to a Senate seat. [NYO]
• Ellen DeGeneres is the new Oprah Winfrey, apparently. [NYT]
• Project Runway contestants showed their work at Fashion Week today. [AP]
• Madonna will make a rare TV appearance as a "marriage referee" on Jerry Seinfeld's forthcoming reality show. Here's hoping she won't be asked to dispense advice on how to keep a marriage together. [Reuters]
• On the off chance you're interested in taking part in a reality TV show, you may wish to note that there's now a job board for that very purpose. [Wrap]
• Is 82-year-old Condé Nast boss Si Newhouse a Lady Gaga fan? Indeed! [P6]

When Sarah Silverman's the victim of a Frisbee accident, it reveals a design flaw in the human body: necks have too few bones. On the heels of Frisbee inventor, Walter Frederick Morrison's death, this warning could not be more pertinent.

So the Vancouver Winter Olympics start tonight, and, awful incidents aside, I am pretty fucking excited. What's that? The Winter games suck? Can't hold a candle to the Summer? Well, Nancy Naysayer, I beg to differ.

Mort Zuckerman's futile effort to keep up with Mike Bloomberg continues! The real estate developer and Daily News owner—who considered making a bid for BusinessWeek last fall when he heard Bloomberg L.P. was in the running before dropping out of the running—is now thinking about following in his frenemy's footsteps and getting into politics. According to the Times, Zuckerman is considering a run against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand this fall, and just like Bloomberg he's prepared to run as a Republican so he can avoid an expensive and messy Democratic primary. Another egocentric, diminutive billionaire media mogul determined to create a lasting legacy for himself with a second career in politics? Just what New York needs! [NYT]

Congratulations to Anrkist for being the first person to answer today's Freeze Frame. Click through for the answer.

Brilliant writer, inventor of gonzo journalism, and angry man who left threatening, profanity-laden voicemail tirades to his AV dealer because his damn DVD player won't work. Hunter S. Thompson was everyman. His message below.

Last night's Important Things had an analysis of peeing and laughing. For example: Peeing alone is okay, but peeing in a group is crazy. Is it appropriate to laugh while one is peeing by themselves? Demetri investigates.

While we wait for Harold Ford to explain how he's avoided filing a New York tax return while working in New York, he's preparing to jet off for Bermuda. To address a group that lobbies for tax evaders, er, avoiders.

Like everything else on television this week, last night's 30 Rock revolved around Valentine's Day. And while Liz opted for oral surgery as a date night avoidance and Jenna lamented her stalker's newfound disinterest, Jack trolled for dates on CNBC.

Nodar Muaritashvili, a luger from Georgia (the country, not the state) died after flying off the track during a training run today. Several other athletes were also injured on the track today. This does not bode well for competition. [AP]

Yikes. We all knew that the new overstuffed, all-star ensemble Love Actually rip-off Valentine's Day was going to be bad — Topher Grace and Taylor Swift?? — but not this bad. The reviews are in and they are, mostly, scathing.
