Entertainment Weekly founder Jeff Jarvis on a recent brush with Tina Brown: "I was sitting, at random, next to two people who happened to know Tina Brown. She came over to say hello to them. Verbal hugs and virtual kisses...Brown talked about her upcoming TV show on CNBC (and how she's not sure she should do the Oscars if we have a war on... and besides, this is Harvey's year). I tried to be polite and interested and join in the conversation, which is what you do where I was raised, and so I tried to task a simple conversational question: When is the show starting? I get ignored. Poof: I am not there. She looks at me. She does not see me. I mutter to myself, I started a magazine, too, honey, and mine is alive and profitable." That's our Tina! And hey, it's Tina Brown Day at Gawker! (Oh, who are we kidding? Every day is Tina Brown Day at Gawker. All we care about, really, is Tina Brown and expensive restaurants.)
