blog all day, sleep all night

Says David Hauslaib, founder of Jossip and Queerty in wired.com: "Nick [Denton, founder of Gawker Media] infamously downplays the profit potential of blogging the same way Tom Cruise's sister-slash-publicist Lee Ann DeVette pretends his relationship with Katie Holmes is authentic. Even people outside the industry know it's a sham."

no, dummy. that's a mirror. and that's your reflection.

Jennifer Love Hewitt met with an exorcist in order to better research the paranormal for her new role in 'Ghost Whisperers.' Shortly after this meeting, the ever-observant J. Love has started noticing strange happenings in her home, namely lights flickering and mysterious footsteps.

But nothing compares to the ghost she caught ogling her while she showered.

About this, J. Love admits "The ghost had a crush on me and liked to see me showering."

It's too bad the living don't really care.

Man eats cell phone chip to spite service

This is uh, a rather unusual piece of news. My mother had an expression which I think would be apropriate here: "cutting off your nose to spite your face".

A man, upset that his cell phone had not worked for months, broke the phone and then ate the memory chip. [via Z-Wire]

"The unusual incident occurred Sept. 10 at Car Phones Plus, 2574 Sun Valley Drive, when the 47-year-old City of Delafield man came into the store and started to create a disturbance, the report said.

The man, who was intoxicated, demanded a refund because his phone had not worked for six months.

The man then broke the phone in two and ate the memory chip "so no one would get his personal information," the report said."

beware of dog

And as Hercules ventured on his Twelfth Labor, he began his descension into Hades - only to be greeted by Cerberus - the vicious three-headed dog!

does anyone actually watch monk?

Um, because Tony Shaloub won an Emmy. And I can't say I know everything about his body of work besides playing the foreign cab driver on Wings and the alien thing in Men In Black, but I actually have seen Monk. Shaloub plays a crime-fighting yet socially retarded and OCD detective. On USA. Can you imagine a job where your only purpose is to be annoying and predictable? Because I am on a daily basis.

Comedy gold.

A Personal Message For Mr. A to Z?

I can only surmise that this douchebag on Rockstar was not trying to dick around with CBS, but instead sending a personal message to Jason Mraz.

spidey-sense of the day: hearing

AHHHHHHHHHH! Have you seen this story?

It spun a web?!

How did survive?

What was it catching in its web inside this woman's ear?

What caused the sharp pain?

Do you think she had spider bites inside her hear?

The only answer I can come up with is ear plugs.
