Are you a total news junkie? Do you know Gawker's voice inside and out? Would you willingly—and more importantly, would you happily—spend hours glued to a computer screen scouring the internet for the newsworthy and noteworthy?

Remember that embarrassing PR email blast urging ladies to "Pamper yourself or your mom with the comfort she deserves this Mother's Day"? Turns out it was the error of the most tragic PR intern ever. PRNewser reports:

America has a slight problem with unemployment. But what are we to do? Taking a job that sucks will only make us less happy. The jobs that exist, we're not qualified for. Are we all consigned to unpaid intern hell?

First, there were paid internships. Those were okay. Then, there were unpaid internships. Those were just slightly better than nothing. Now, there are internships you pay for, which won't even get you a high-paying job. Those are a scam.

Financial reporter Charlie Gasparino broke some news, and to celebrate, Fox Business aired a segment entitled "Charlie Breaks and Brags," in which the scrappy blowhard reveals his source: an intern, whose name he wrote on a post-it note.

Capitol Hill summer interns think they're so savvy, so vital. One for Sen. Michael Bennet has been fired for telling a person "that she could secure a one-on-one meeting for a $2,400 donation." Never over email, intern!

The interns are rebelling. Nobody is safe. "Tough-as-nails" Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Ama Dwimoh—who prosecutes crimes against children and earned her stripes on the Nixzmary Brown murder case—has been suspended for terrorizing interns.

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps aural abomination, "Money Can't Buy You Class," continues to amuse. She performed the song on an LA morning show earlier this week. The station's interns laughed at her while she performed.

NY Post intern James Cahalan hit the jackpot: For an exposé on underage drinking, his employer sent him on a 30-stop bar crawl to see who would serve him. Byline and free booze—do summer internships get any better?

Last month we introduced you to The (Potential) Intern From Hell, a young gent with some very tough words for a company at which he applied to intern. Well, he saw the piece on Gawker. And was not amused.

Celebrity internships: Not yet out of style. Lady Gaga applied to intern for famed milliner Philip Treacy, apparently to learn the art of mad hatting. Or to fetch coffee for a mad hatter. [Fashionista]

Yes, there are bad interns in this world. But there are also bad internships. Like the one where the boss sends you a video of himself jacking off, allegedly.

The only way to "make it" in the media now is to pay a huge bribe to secure a coveted "intern" slot at a failing media outlet, where you can begin sleeping your way to the top. The going rates?

Today we took a look at the potential intern from hell, an eager go-getter who will not tolerate slowness from the people they hope will hire them. Most of you criticized the kid, but some defended his/her unbridled ambition.

Every season, at every company, there has to be that one terrible intern. Usually they just fall asleep at work, or show up drunk. Allow us to introduce you to one intern candidate who sounds much, much worse.

We somehow fooled Jill Zarin, our favorite Real Housewife (from New York...with red hair), into interning for us on Thursday. She's used to having a publicist and other helpers, so what should we make her do now that she's ours?

"Outrage at Grazia magazine after an intern sent out regularly to buy skinny lattes for the beauty desk announced at the end of her stint on the mag that she had in fact been buying them all full-fat ones." [MediaMonkey]

Kalia Hale-Stern, who oversees the Gawker Media comments, is looking for a few interns to assist her quiet but firm rule over the commentariat:

Pity poor Lydia Netzer, who lived next door to the PETA intern house outside DC. Pity Lydia Netzer's cat even more. The PETA interns finally good-intentioned it to death.

Attention media bosses: The summer has ended and your intern guard has changed. But maybe there's one apprentice you'd like to keep, hmmm, providing regular "feedback" to? Jessica Wakeman has been that intern, and she has some tips.
