Jessica · 02/24/05 02:41PMThursday Quiz: Paper of Record? Or Loser Blogger?
Haber · 02/24/05 02:17PMEveryday we hear about blogs and mainstream media hating each other, loving each other, fighting to the death, performing CPR, cleaning up the mess, and then going out for Tofutti together. Sunrise, sunset, turn, turn, turn, the circle of life, blah, blah, blah.
Jerry Oppenheimer, You Have Our Heart
Jessica · 02/24/05 02:15PM
We may have spent a good part of yesterday focusing on Kevin Federlust, but the heart is unpredictable and today we've fallen for another man. Jerry Oppenheimer, who already earned our admiration with his brilliant Anna Wintour biography Front Row, has earned our loins' favor with his two-day stint over at The Black Table. He might not be hot in the filthy way that Federline is, but we love him for his mind, you shallow assholes. In recounting the juiciest bits from his storied collection of unauthorized biographies, Oppenheimer reveals that Barbara Walters might be a bit of a racist, Rock Hudson continued to sleep around after he was diagnosed as HIV-positive, Martha Stewart threw nude pool parties, and Hillary Clinton like the phrase, "fucking Jew bastard." (In Hillary's defense, we frequently refer to ourselves with the same epithets.) The only disappointment is that Oppenheimer still won't reveal the details of the Jerry Seinfeld goat-fucking incident, but we're sure he'll put out by the fourth date.

The New York Times reports that Suede, the fashion and beauty magazine aimed at African American women who like hip hop and haute couture, has been put on hold after only four issues. (Happy Black History Month, everyone!) According to a statement from Ed Lewis, Essence Communications chairman and chief executive officer: "It has become clear that more time and resources would be needed to further develop this brand."

Jessica · 02/23/05 03:17PM
In the latest edition of New York's Look Book feature, we meet the lovely Duane Littles, an actor who's been on Chappelle's Show and also designs random pieces of clothing. Duane's "over" trucker hats, thankfully, but he's still recovering from a phase involving womens' handbags. Now he likes to wear young girls' clothes — but who doesn't? After the jump, Intern Alexis asks Keaton Clark and Laura McDonald to do their best Robert Verdi impressions and give us their input on Duane's style.

You know how it is: a three-day weekend, a hacked Sidekick, a nasty K-hole, and suddenly your schedule is fucked. Intern Alexis, unfortunately, is no exception. It took us a few days to realize she was missing, but once we did, we conducted an exhaustive search — only to find her in a waxing room at Completely Bare, lying in the fetal position, stoned, and babbling about kittens in mittens. We got her cleaned up, of course, and put her right back to work. After the jump, her weekly coverage of the New York Times book review, in all of its sobering glory.
