ReviewerCard: Scam Or Social Clout Indicator? {Gadling}
Jan 24th 2013 7:44AM Let's be honest. Can you imagine a high profile place not doing everything in their power to get good reviews in a widely read mag, which probably includes kissing up to the critic and eating up the paper bill themselves after (s)he is done eating. Not saying that it is justified here just cos it is practiced elsewhere and is accepted practice, but those food critics aren’t going to say, “Hey, there might be a conflict of interest here because Free Food!”

John Galliano Said to Be Headed to Rehab; Fashion World Opens Up About His Actions {Stylelist (Main)}
Mar 2nd 2011 11:21PM So where does the everyday drunk fit into this model? Lacking an overpriced PR team and heartfelt backing from equally intoxicated colleagues, how can the rest of us leverage our vices to excuse the otherwise inexcusable? It would seem the guestlist at the gates into this world where addiction in itself is a rationale for poor taste is limited only to those crowned with the title of ‘celebrity’, leaving the rest of us forced to bare the weight of our actions rather than romping on the plush green lawns of any given overpriced addiction center to the stars.

Anne Hathaway to Play Catwoman in New Batman Film {Stylelist (Main)}
Jan 20th 2011 9:19AM
One day when Anne is clinging from one magic script role to another, she will cooly regard the illuminated billboard in front of her and gently purr that she always knew she was destined to be our collective 'Joker.'
If only they could make a remake of Anne’s life…

Best and Worst Dressed: Golden Globes 2011 Fashion {Stylelist (Main)}
Jan 18th 2011 7:54PM I find it to be nothing short of a travesty for a stylist to put their client in many of the looks that I saw last night. Looking great when you have the means to do so is very simple whether you are a size 0 or a size 10. If you’re feeling particularly lazy: find a designer that has fit you well in the past, pick the best look from their current runway collection, and literally cut and paste!
But perhaps my favorite let down was Julianna Marguiles:
Earth to Julia- "If you're going to steal something from the Global Globe, make it a Golden Globe, not a table cloth!!- Geesh...

Olivia Munn's Maxim cover is too hot for some to handle {Asylum.co.uk}
Jan 12th 2011 10:29PM Which has me wondering has Dan had a good look up and down the street and noticed what mankind is wearing these days? Of course Maxim is known for its provocative depiction of scantily clad women (thats how it makes its bucks kids) so should we surprised that Maxim chooses to push the envelope or could one reasonably argue that Maxim is just reiterating what passes for common culture and the preferred dress sense of action stars, including young women trolling down the street who dont happen to be action stars?
Maybe Dan ought to start walking the streets with blinders on lest his sensibilities be offended.

Golden-Voiced Ted Williams Detained in LA After Public Argument (The One) {Urlesque}
Jan 12th 2011 2:05PM
One day when Ted is crooning on some far away radio show with his bottle of Grey Goose he will fondly remember the days when he was able to just relapse with oblivion on some desolate highway. At least this time he gets to share the joy with the world and a couple of solitary chilled ice cubes swimming desperately at the bottom of his vodka bottle.

'Golden Voice' Ted Williams Visits Today Show (The One) {Urlesque}
Jan 7th 2011 9:13AM Ah, America. The only place that you never have to give up on your dreams. One day you’re a penniless Panhandler from Columbus, Ohio and before you know it, you’re sitting next to Matt Lauer on the set of the “Today” show and have people wearing t-shirts with your face printed on the front.
If only there were more good feel stories about panhandlers making it....

Toddler spent Christmas alone next to dead mum {Parentdish - UK}
Jan 5th 2011 7:54AM
Perhaps what makes this tale so profound is a child’s inherent innocence and naivete and yet at the same time- it’s exactly what makes its shocking and leaves us gasping.

Anorexia Poster Woman Isabelle Caro Dies at 28 {Stylelist (Main)}
Dec 30th 2010 4:43AM Which begs the ultimate question why does the fashion industry continue to publicly denounce such dispositions yet all the while very publicly continue to use gaunt models? Will the fashion industry ever own up to its own victimization?
