HEARST TOWER, NEW YORK — Far from the sweaty, screaming fans that attended Digg's Brooklyn meetup Wednesday night, the suits of the Alley and Valley gathered last night on the top-most floor of the Hearst Tower for another Founders Club party to celebrate each others' transcendent splendor. All night, giant screens at either end of the party played clips from Citizen Kane, the barely fictionalized biopic based on the life of Hearst Corp.'s own founder, William Randolph Hearst. There wasn't a Hearst in the crowd, but there were those who aspire to be him. Blog moguls like PaidContent's Rafat Ali, Gawker Media's Nick Denton and AlleyCorp's Henry Blodget mingled. New Gifts.com CEO Jason Rapp attended, as did Digg cofounders Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's mentor, Valley bad boy Sean Parker, was rumored to be in the crowd as well. Jimmy Wales, cofounder of the world's most comprehensive list of William Randolph Heart's angry responses to Citizen Kane, attended with Andrea Weckerle on his arm. Photos below.

Imagine what will happen when Allison takes her talent for crashing to the next logical level and turns up in the middle of Lindsay Campbell's New York based woman-on-the-street interview show, MobLogic.tv.

Jimmy Wales: "It's like being a regular rock star, except there's no sex"

"What's it like to be a famous guy on the Web?" Wallstrip host Lindsay Campbell asked Jimmy Wales in an interview last year. "Being an Internet rock star is like being a regular rock star, except there's no sex and drugs," Wales replies. We're inclined to believe him on the drugs — Wales can barely handle liquor, from what we hear — but no sex? Even in this finance-oriented chat, we detected Jimmy's subliminal message for the ladies at the end. The full clip:

New Wallstrip host plans to get dirty

How is new Wallstrip host Julie Alexandria different from Lindsay Campbell, the thought-provoking interviewer she replaced at the CBS-owned videoblog? "I'm in for adding some dirty humor," Alexandria told NewTeeVee. "I don't want it to become the next Perez Hilton, but I do look forward to bringing my own little spice to it." Enough sexist, adolescent pandering — bring on Alexandria's glamour shots!
