Short Ends: Making The Courtney Love Back-Up Band
· EMI is trolling Craigslist for a variety of "types" to fill out Courtney Love's back-up band. (Once she graduates rehab, of course.) No hard drugs required, but those with reliable connections for the inevitable, explosive Love relapse will be given preference.
· The LAT launched The Envelope today, its full-service awards site. And by "full-service." we mean that it has about 147 blogs, roughly one for each envelope (see how that ties in?) opened during awards season.
· We defy you to find a headline touting less consequential information, anywhere, on any subject whatsoever: Dennis Rodman Settles Speeding Ticket.
· Midlevel Gawker Media functionary Lockhart Steele (not his real name) has a mini blog empire of his own, launching an L.A. version of real estate site Curbed mere hours ago. Disclosure: Lockhart processes our payroll later today. Hi, Lock! New blog looks awesome!
· Harvey Weinstein might be embracing a new policy of fiscal sanity, but he'll still happily splurge on some ring-kissers when he knows the press will be around.
