Entries are in for the subversive Flickr art contest, Valleywag's rip-off of Flickr's own "color our logo" art contest.

• The "color the Flickr dots" contest closes tonight. Color in the two circles on the photo sharing site's new error message. Upload your art to Flickr and tag it "valleywag". The funniest artist (maybe Prentiss Riddle, whose entry is shown here) wins a Flickr pro account and a Valleywag comment account.

Flickr, the site where it's okay to occasionally just take everything offline without notice, swapped out its old "Flickr is having a massage" error message for a newer, altogether weirder message. Those circles are supposed to represent the business end of some tubes (a reference to the The Internet is a Series of Tubes joke) the Flickr logo, but they look more like...well...something else.

Since a man got fired for reading Valleywag, it's time to solve the problem of office-hours wag-surfing.

The Morning News has finally picked a winner in their Sloppy Seconds With Opal Mehta contest. Inspired by the multi-sourced plagiasm of Kaavya Viswanathan, TMN put it to readers to create an "original" piece plagiarized from no less than 5 works.

Why'd Lindsay Lohan sniffle and snooze her way through Monday morning's Today show interview? Because she was up all night with some friends, blowing rails off her Ouija board and playing round after round of Girl Talk. Duh. Page Six reports that Lohan's Sunday night posse included a couple of friends, her assistant, and a Conde Nast staffer.

We're just hours away from tonight's big National Magazine Awards extravaganza, and Ellie Madness is reaching a fever pitch. By last night's deadline, 14 mag wags had entered our high-stakes pool. We've tallied their picks and are now pleased to present Gawker's wisdom-of-crowds predictions for tonight's winners. (Methodology: The wisdom-of-crowds pick for each category is the title that received a plurality of votes from the participating pickers. In categories where two or more titles tied for the lead, no winner is predicted.)
