#1 I took a brief peek at Arriana Huffinpuff's blog; looked like it was targeted at folks who find People magazine too cerebral.

#3 That's a righteous smackdown, lol!

Whassup with all the Big $$$? Blogs don't cost Big $$$. I'l bet Matt Drudge doesn't spend Big $$$ - though he prolly makes Big $$$. Sheesh. If blogging, real blogging, was an expensive proposition, it wouldn't be as common as fleas on a Hollyweird starlet. So what was the Big $$$ for? Stock? Lol!

Can anyone post the URL for this thingy? - I'd like to have a look. I presume it doesn't offer the ability to post comments, unless you're a registered luminary. Geez, ya think those Hollyweird types could remember a password with mixed alphanumerics? Heh.

Too funny - Thx Frank.

And someone post the URL so we can all share in the joy.

#4 I took a look, too. Actually, I laughed my ass off.

#5 Ooooo, that is painful! :-D

C'mon, guys - can't somebody barf up the URL? It sounds like an endless source of entertainment.

While it lasts.

#8 Holy Lord!

I read just the intros to the articles in the blog.

There's enough red meat for fisking for every Rantburger and some let over to be converted into chewtoys.

#9 Thx, gents!

I still want to know where the money is supposed to go - what Isee here is a bunch of donated content. No way they need a web team for more than 2 people to handle this - especially since it's an MT (Moveable Type) site. Huffy must be paying herslf, lol!

#11 Crankcase's contribution is to promise future contributions. Obviously, no one read what he wrote or they would've headlined it differently. There is no there there, lol!

#14 Arianna's an outsider, and will always be one. One thing Hollywood and the entertainment world can be counted on is to not spend their own money; it will be their 'time' or Other Peoples' Money (the former used to gather the latter).

#15 Nice wrist-work on that evisceration by Finke. This, I thought, was over the top:
Her blog is such a bomb that it's the box-office equivalent of Gigli, Ishtar and Heaven's Gate rolled into one.

Come, come, I thought. Nothing's that bad. Now I don't know. For example, the attempt at a satirical jab at the anti-gay marriage crowd revealed hitherto unknown meaning in the phrase WTF? (I'm glad Finke told us who this Louis-Dreyfus woman is, because I didn't know.)

And Mike Nichols's meditation on metaphor comes close to saying that we need to do away with pesky old facts in favor of fantasy. (At least, inasmuch as he seems to be saying anything, that's what he seems to be saying.)

Well, a source of high protein and rich in iron[y], for as long as it lasts.
