· Sarah Michelle Gellar storms away from the William Morris Agency after she was served some choice insults from agency president Dave Wirtschafter in the latest New Yorker. Nobody puts Buffy in a corner, Dave. [Page Six]
· Demi Moore's reps invoke the classic denial, plus the "I only know what she tells me" line when questioned about her rumored pregnancy. We've said it a hundred times, but we'll say it again: no means yes! [R&M (2nd item)]
· This one's a stretch, but David Hillenbrand (who wrote some SpongeBob lyrics for the movie) has cast gangbang queen Jasmin St. Claire in National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2. Somehow, this makes SpongeBob controversial, but we don't follow. [Page Six]
· Marc Anthony is paparazzi-shy, but J.Lo still loves the cameras. Let the Race From The Altar begin! [Lowdown (2nd to last)]

Request Urgent From Bizarro World

Not a professional journalist, Bizarro Gawker is not, but in normal world, journalists send interview requests to actresses, not versa-vice. Which strange, made this email in outbox:

Remainders: Martha Stewart's Robotic Replacement Speaks

Jessica · 02/28/05 05:07PM

· Is it just us, or is this letter from MarthaStewart.com editor in chief Margaret Roach a little, um, off? "'Now, first things first,' I can hear Martha saying as I write this..." [Martha Stewart]
· Tom Shales calls Chris Rock's Oscar stint "strangely lame and mean-spirited." Well, Rock is rubber and Tom is glue... [WaPo]
· Michael Musto of the Voice tries his hand at play-by-play Oscar coverage under the title Million Dollar Dead Baby. Adorable! [VV]
· We're hearing that Friday' gay reporter in need of love might be Family Circle's Glenn Plaskin. Can we get a confirmation up in here?

Jude Law Pulls A Lindsay Lohan

Jessica · 02/28/05 11:57AM

Everyone knows New Orleans is for drinking, but it's also becoming the go-to spot for slummy celebrity bar-hopping. After Lindsay Lohan turned a Girls Gone Wild event into her personal cotillion, Jude Law follows suit in his own reserved, British-y way. A reader writes:

The Oscar Report: Um...Well...It Was...Uh...

Jessica · 02/28/05 08:17AM

We barely slept a wink last night, as last night's Black Edition of the Oscars had our blood racing with its edgy edginess and nouveau newness! Did you see how they lined up some of the low-level nominees on the stage? Breathtaking. Or when other "unimportant" nominees were presented their Oscars without having to leave the comfort of their seats? Stunning. And ooooh, Chris Rock really stirred things up when he told the audience, "Sit your asses down." (Thanks to Matt Drudge for dutifully reprinting this quote twice as his headline — once as "Sit You Asses Down." Direct translations are so helpful!)

Miramax's High Colonic Irrigation

Haber · 02/23/05 11:01AM

'Robots'' Parts Definitely Not In The Bad Place

Haber · 02/17/05 04:35PM

Perhaps fearful of another SpongeBob SquarePants situation, FOX seems to be going all family values with Robots, their upcoming fast food tie-in, merchandising bonanza, TV spin-off, and (finally) movie. No winking queer subtext here! Just sassy robots and their shiny, oiled exoskeletons.

The Cultural Logic of Late Pauly Shore Films

Haber · 02/16/05 11:05AM

In this week's Onion A.V. Club, Nathan Rabin reviews Pauly Shore is Dead and writes, we're pretty sure, the first and (hopefully) last sentence ever to contain the words "Pauly," "Shore," "Postmodernism," and "moribund." See for yourself:

Gossip Roundup: Celebrity Babies Sell Out

Jessica · 02/11/05 11:10AM

· After just two months, Julia Roberts is ready to auction off the innocence of her young children. Her infant twins (inexplicably named Hazel and Finn — just like your favorite domestic servants!) will appear on the cover of People magazine. [NYDN, image via]
· Sean Connery throws a Hollywood-style hissy fit and walks away from a $17.5 million paycheck; apparently he's tired of working on big budget films. Guess some people will avoid working with Brett Ratner at all costs. [Page Six]
· Flava Flav runs into oncoming traffic for Brigitte Nielsen, who had an asthma attack. No one was harmed—except for the careers of VH1 cameramen, who totally missed getting this on tape. [Lowdown]
· Usher allegedly had a six-way orgy; clearly the man has stamina, which explains how he could handle Naomi Campbell for so long. [Page Six]
· Janet Jackson's wardrobe will malfunction all by itself — if you so much as go near her, her bodyguards will chew off your arms. [R&M]
