Gawker's Definitive Best of The Best Of The Best Of Lists (So Far)
Emily Gould · 12/26/06 04:05PMAs you might have started noticing about four weeks ago, this is the time of year that every media outlet in the universe recaps the year that's passed by ranking the most memorable, important, funny, or otherwise relevant books/movies/celebrity paternity suits, etc. hierarchically. But this week, as all the Best Best Best coverage reaches its apex, the options can begin to seem a bit overwhelming, like trying to figure out which Christmas-released Oscar bait to see with your parents at the multiplex tonight. That's where we come in, with our expertise and ability to read. We've sorted through a bunch of Best Of lists for you, so that you'll be able to decide which stuff to pretend to have seen/read/known about. Our five faves of the moment are after the jump; expect more as we trudge towards New Year's.

Sean Jean coats sold at Macy's in New York may be trimmed with the fur of Chinese raccoon dogs (pictured — aww), according to the Humane Society of America. The coats in question are currently being tested to determine the provenance of the fur, which was advertised on Macy's website as being fake. If the fur is from doggies, Macy's will pull the coats from its shelves — the store has a no dog or cat fur policy. We'll leave the question of the policy's arbitrariness aside for the moment and focus on the big picture: what does this mean for Sean "Diddy" Combs' image? We can't decide which easy joke to go with, so pick one from Column A: feud with Bow Wow, what would Natasha Lyonne say, something about Rosie O'Donnell.
