Spiking The Punch At Young Adult Author Prom

Emily Gould · 04/18/07 02:10PM

Last night was Prom Night for Manhattan's Young Adult authors! This prom wasn't like high school prom, though. It was held on the Lower East Side, no one arrived in a limo, and you could openly purchase and drink alcohol. Also, everyone there was pretty much a grown-up. The party was a benefit for Advocates for Youth, a group that works to protect young people's right to sexual education. It also celebrated the publication of 21 Proms, a collection of young adult short stories, sales of which will also benefit the charity. Oddly enough, Deadspin editor Will Leitch and Gawker co-editor Emily Gould both found themselves at this event. What follows is their ill-advised morning-after postmortem. Will anyone sit with them in the cafeteria ever again?

Gisele Bundchen Victim 2 Of Tom Brady Supersperm?

Does Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen have a baby in her tummy? That's what Brazilian gossip site Glamurama claims, albeit in some crazy language we don't know. However, the Boston Globe translates: "would be no more than two months pregnant, but may already have told select friends and family." If this womb news is true —we so hope it is, for reasons we're not even clear on ourselves!—Bunchen joins actress Bridget Moynahan in the knocked up by Tom Brady club, where she's been discontentedly hanging out since shortly before Brady dumped her ass. We would think of a sports metaphor, but since someone far more qualified already decided not to do that, we're going to go with: this guy is like the Kevin Federline of football!

Regan's Cancelled Mickey Mantle Sex Book To Come

The book that was the real reason for Judith Regan's firing—at least according to New York magazine—has found a new unscrupulous publisher. The Lyons Press, which according to its website is "proud to publish the most distinguished list of fishing books in the world, as well as quality works on horses" has acquired the rights to 7, the Mickey Mantle bio that reads like bad erotica (For instance: "Mickey enters [Marilyn Monroe], going in nice and easy ..." ). "It's one of those books that a lot of people will love, but some won't," author Peter Golenbock told the Times yesterday. Those 'people' presumably include HarperCollins CEO Jane Friedman, who "hit the roof" when the book was decried on the cover of the Daily News. Will anyone still care by the time the book comes out? Well, says Golenbock, "The only change was from 'Regan' to 'Lyons." So... no.

Former Gawker Guest Editor, Noted Skirt-Chaser A.J. Daulerio's Video Goodbye

Over the weekend, friends of former Oddjack editor A.J. Daulerio gathered at popular internet-person bar Lolita to roast the young man. Despite having been canned when that Gawker Media gambling site was shuttered, Daulerio contributes to sports site Deadspin. He is perhaps best known as the superstud of the New York blogger scene, at least if you read the Observer. Sadly, he's taking his well-polished tool back to his native Philadelphia, AKA the sixth borough. (Snarf.) The clip you see above is but a brief tease for the full video (by Richard Blakeley, natch) that will appear on Deadspin at some point this afternoon. Until it does, enjoy A.J.'s heartfelt feelings concerning someone here at Gawker Media who is near and dear to all of us.
