Our first reaction on reading New York's report that Lindsayism.com proprietress Lindsay Robertson had been "cyberstalking" Corey Feldman was, in a word, denial. "Mild-mannered Lindsay?" we asked ourselves, amazed. "That blonde pixie we've known all these years? Her?" (And, more to the point, in what world is that cyberstalking?) It couldn't be, we thought. It just couldn't.

MediaWatcher Jon Friedman has a long and illuminating interview with Radar editor Maer Roshan (it's been so long since we've talked about dear old Maer, we feel it's necessary to slap an identifier on him). It's full of twists and turns, dramatic peaks and tear-jerking valleys, complete with heartfelt revelations:

From a correction printed in yesterday's Sunday Styles:

The byline and lede are unnecessary; one really only needs to glance at the headline to know that this was written by anthropologist of the barely-legal, His Skeeviness David Amsden. In his defense, however, Amsden seems to be growing up: These girls are high school graduates, after all.

Waiting for the big winner in our "Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Associate Lifestyle Editor At Life & Style Magazine" contest? Yeah, well, it turns out: So are we.

Is it just us, or does it seem like CNN feels a little underwhelmed by this weekend's box office offerings? (Scroll down, the poll on bottom right of the CNN home page.) Unfortunately, the "None; I'd rather spend two hours poking myself in the scrotum with a barbecue fork while being fellated by a wild boar" option was scratched right before publication, which may have skewed the results in the home video industry's favor.

It's been a long time coming but, if the rumors are true, Graydon Carter may have officially lost his shit:

A reader notes a curious face on this week's installment of mediabistro.com party pictures: What was "actress Alessia Siniscalchi" doing at a recent New York mb party — and in three separate pics, no less?

• How bad must your anti-Hillary book be when even Bill O'Reilly, Peggy Noonan, and John Podhoretz are attacking it? It must be very, very bad. [NYT]
• Jon Friedman's lists his top 10 media stories of the first half of the year. No. 1: Deep Throat speaks. [MarketWatch]
• That Gruner & Jahr sale? Still hasn't happened yet. Don't worry, Fast Company and Inc. kids. Mommy and Daddy still love you very much. They just need to figure out who you're going to live with. [Folio:]
• Eureka moment at CBS News: What if we put news on — this is gonna sound crazy — the web? [The Corsair]

It's Friday, which means it's time for the second installment of Sexy Jon Fine's Sexy BusinessWeek column. No more manufactured crises for intrepid reporter Fine; this week he's got a real, potentially catastrophic crisis. It's the kind of enterprise reporting BusinessWeek hired him for: hard-hitting, news-breaking, ahead-of-the-curve, investigative, holy-shit news you won't find anywhere else.

From yesterday's Times corrections:

Attendees of the AP Sports Editor convention in Orlando, Florida have no doubt been enjoying themselves — after all, what better place to study the retardation of sports gimp Mitch Albom than from the plush confines of the Ritz-Carlton? Alas, the conference has been soured by color lines when black and Hispanic attendees were denied equal treatment:

With the hipsters moving to the Upper East Side, where's left for a self-respecting yuppie to live? The "SoBro," of course. Says the Times:

The Washington Post has it up to the proverbial "here" with the state of modern celebrity:

The ever-expanding monster that is glossy celebrity-gossip mags has finally run up against the one obstacle that might be able to stop it: Available printing-press time. Our operative in celebland reports:

Shit. Now we're being much too fucking earnest.

• Janice Min's new Us Weekly contract is basically done. At $1.2M per year, she'll make as much as — if not a little more than — Bonnie does. Plus her staff doesn't hate her, which has to be worth something. [NYP]
• A poker column is coming to the Times. Finally, we hope, Sulzberger will stop counting his money while he's sitting at the table. [E&P]
• One day, two takes: NYT is duped by allegedly 'moderate' Islamic goup; Observer isn't. [Mediacrity]

Of course, this Radar has managed to publish an entire 11 issues since 2003, versus Maer's three.

We're on Week 2 of Time magazine's pseudo-subversive marketing campaign, which involves the gradual tagging of a large billboard at Houston and Wooster. At the end of the four week period, the street art will then be destroyed emblazoned with Time logos. As we're positively fascinated by this highly visible exercise in absurdity, we've released Intern Caroline into daylight once again to document the project's progress. Click the image to enlarge and see just how far things haven't come since last week. Don't be misled, however, by the slow progress — just like your carefully constructed messy haircut, indie marketing takes time and patience, grasshoppers.
