Sheila · 12/27/08 01:56PMGet 'Shitfaced' with Anne Hathaway For the Low, Low Price of $12,000
STV · 12/08/08 08:58PMAnne Hathaway's "type," as it were, is something of a going concern around the Defamer office these days. One man is doing hard time for essentially stealing a jet-setting lifestyle they could share, and yet another made his big gossip-page debut smeared as little more than a skirt-chasing social-climber. And in between are the principled ones who just come out and ask her: "Will you take $12,000?"
The Saddest TV Show In the World
Sheila · 09/15/08 04:30PMWould you like to watch a TV version of Modern Love, the column in the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times? It's usually about heartbreak, divorce, death, infertility, or cancer. Page Six says it might be optioned for TV—so you have that to look forward to, along with your next breakup. ("Can I guest star in the one that was about my ex-boyfriend (but that I didn't write)?" asks a tipster. [NYPost]
Who Is the Clumsy "Indie Rock Dreamboat" Heartbreaker From This Week's Modern Love?
Sheila · 04/28/08 12:05PMThis week's Modern Love, the column in the NYT's Sunday Style section, bucked a trend. It's supposed to be about modern love, duh, but it's usually about adopting babies and cancer. This week, it actually was about modern (text-messaging) luv, with an essay by a young woman about her awkward flirtation with a frustratingly immature but totally cute indie-rocker boy in Brooklyn. Title of essay: "Was I On a Date or Baby Sitting?" HEY OH! "I asked my musician friends what they knew about him. Joanna, a singer, summed him up: 'He's an indie rock dreamboat. His voice is transcendent and he writes lovely lyrics. He has a nice face, he has a kid and he tours a lot. He's a star in his world.'" Oh, perfect: the conveniently unavailable guy who "goes on tour" a lot. Of course, we'd all love to know who the dude is and what band he is in. Thanks to a tipster, now we know!
