Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone, and, the Black Friday shoppers and Cyber Monday deals are over all still going on. It's been awhile since I've compiled this list, and, as you can imagine, there's a lot going on. Check out what I'm reading today! More»
Eavesdropping In: Gawker Loses Palin Battle, Protesters Plan To Hit Airports Today In Kilts

If only JFK Jr. were around today to give us his input on things like the iPad-only newspaper, the craziness of Lanvin for H&M and, even more so, Sarah Palin's prose. Alas, I'll do my best on these and much more. Check out what I'm reading today! More»
Today I take a break on Page Six and go on a rant against Gawker and my issue with their lack of accountability. Then I show you some cool toilet fish tanks. Ready?
1. Guess which NYC Media company this quote is referencing:
"The question, then, is whether it's even worth criticizing a website that, through an unapologetic commitment to sensationalism, has made itself nearly impervious to criticism."
It's Gawker.com (of course), and writer Ryan Kearney did a great post today on how the website sometimes does go too far, and how sometimes, even the detached medium of the internet can't serve as an excuse. More»

WritersTao Lin And The Art Of Technological Belles-Lettres: G-chat, iPhone Apps, And The Future Of Novels

Gawker was all over the strange picture choice for the Page Six item about the closing of Santos Party House; the photo erroneously features Nur Khan, Paul Sevigny and Don Hill who do not run the Chinatown club busted for drugs. But we touched base with the New York Post editor-in-chief who defended his paper: More»
Gawker went way too far this time, Jon Stewart hopes to do it up big in DC this weekend and, oh yeah, there's a big holiday this Sunday...do you know what you're going to be yet? I'm heading to LA in a couple of hours, but before I do, here's what I'm reading today... More»
Go HERE for more pictures by W-Rod and tag yourself and your friends!
New Yorkers are, notoriously, commitment-phobes. With so many options available to us, why settle down with just one thing? For example, we started our Pop-Up Party at Drop Off Service, got antsy, and started walking down Avenue A to see what we'd find. Guess what we found, guys? The Gawker TV Trivia Party! Big Buck Hunter! Unlimited Bud Light for $7! Swing Dancing? More»

[Photos via KirillWasHere.com] So maybe they didn't have Lamborghini or fifty different alcohol sponsors, but Gawker's clambake this Saturday did have a couple things the Hamptons Magazine clambake lacked: a beach, a bottle of tequila in the sand, and a handful of drunk kids jumping in the ocean.
