Spiegs made it into Variety today. And not because he was involved in an underage sex slave scandal with various studio heads, as I have long predicted. You win, Spiegs! You win!
I made this bomb-ass mash up. It would be out of character for me to brag, but... suck my dick, I'm awesome.
NotHired is my fave new blog. I always expect to see some of my own coverletters from last year when I was unemployed and just really phoning it in.
Go to Defamer and look at the video still I picked for this post.
Every time I see it, I hear this song in my head:
Is it odd that time seems to stand still during the three minutes and twenty-one seconds it takes to steal a Britney Spears video off of YouTube?
I worked about eight hours yesterday for the Oscars. I passed out really hard at midnight and slept until 9:40 today... whoops. I don't even sleep that late on the weekends. I think I'm coming down with something and I'm just praying it's not that gnarly flu that's going around. I don't have insurance, I don't want to go to the doctor. I'm going to drink the Airborne I got in my Christmas stocking and maybe like, get some Jamba Juice or something. I don't know. It will be fine.
Barbara Walters is telling her Barak Obama story on The View for the third time this season. Bitch.
Awesome clip, BTW:
Defamer livebloged the Oscars. I cut clips of the show as it was airing. Check it out here:

I realize I should have posted this hours ago.
Serious JAM ALERT.
When Mark left Defamer I downloaded a bunch of the music Seth said he liked to try and find the right song to use for his goodbye video. We wound up going with a song Seth said would be perfect (and it was), but now I have all this MGMT and The Long Winters on my computer that normally wouldn't have been there.
Then this song just came up on shuffle:
Obsessed. Listen to it like three times in a row.
I got the first interview with Casey Wilson, the newest SNL cast member for Defamer today.
Mark Lisanti Leaves Defamer; Our World Gets a Little Darker
Today is editor Mark Lisanti's last day at Defamer, Gawker Media's L.A. gossip site, and we must confess we're very sad. In four years and about 10,000 posts, Lisanti proved himself to be tirelessly creative, funny, sharp, and perceptive. Though he was ostensibly our competitor, his writing was so great that we never got angry at him for constantly scooping us. He managed to break many of Paul Boutin's Rules for Gawker Media Writing every day — Lisanti rarely made just one joke, he happily quoted every stupid thing someone said, he never bailed early — and his posts were sublimely hilarious as a result.
Whenever we manage to scrape together enough time to reread one of our posts before we publish it, we always ask ourself one question: "Is this as funny as Lisanti would have written it?" Then we shrug and publish it anyway.
Apparently, the guy was so nice that his co-workers posted an unironic and heartfelt good-bye post just now, complete with an awesome video tribute. We can't do that, but we do have a going-away present for Mark, after the jump.
