The reason why is most people on Jezebel won’t buy newspapers or magazines anymore: they expect their news and entertainment for free. So, my dear, my current gig pays more than journalism does these days. And, why, yes, it does involve writing.

She gave an interview that was canned and boring and the same as perhaps 20-30 interviews that would be appearing online and in print. And every interviewer wants her/his interview not to be the same as what everyone else is going to write. Because this is what gets more gigs for the interviewer.

And, evidently, she was giving boring answers. Which is understandable, because she’s probably doing twenty interviews about the same damned project that’s going to appear online and that everyone with a computer has access to. In ye olden days, readers of the Sacramento Bee were in separate markets from the Chicago…

As Jon Hamm has is pretty much defined by “Mad Men”, given that he’s had no major success since the show ended, of course the show would come up in the interview. If you’re People magazine, that’s PR pablum to begin with. But if it’s an in-depth interview for GQ or Esquire or for a site like Jezebel, Weiner’s…

Look, as a former journalist, you call me to do a story, you make it worth my while. You get paid to promote whatever you want to promote, I get paid to write a story that’s not regurgitated PR pablum. Because if I deliver mush to my editor, it gets spiked and I don’t get paid...or she runs it begrudgingly and does…

She’s spoken out about sexual harassment before, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity for her to speak out again at a time when the mainstream media has caught up. And if Jon Hamm were interviewed, I’d fully expect him to be asked about Matt Weiner.

Good on you, Rich. If Hendrick’s publicist wants to dictate exactly what’s put out, she should buy an advertisement.

Most civil suits claim damages. Venit/WME will be trying to claim no long-lasting damage was done, methinks.

They a’ight, but I prefer panda cubs...

No lips, witchy nose and chin, chest out of proportion for the rest of her frame: nope. But everybody’s got their fetishes...

So...if Crews is completely fine mentally, they’ll argue there was no damage from Venit’s act. But if Crews is damaged, then they’ll argue that Crews’ account of what Venit did can’t be trusted because Crews has emotional and mental problems.

When there are openly gay actors getting as many roles as openly straight actors, this might apply. But it reminds me of when Rosie Perez was pissed off at her friend Annabella Sciorra who was up for a Latina role: there are so few roles for Latinas as there is/was. If they had auditioned scores of Latinas for the…

Gretchen Carlson forever gets side-eye from me: she was cool with working for Fox News for years, but somehow became a heroine when she herself became a victim. Gurl, bye.

Spellcheck is a muthafucka. I know you meant saditty...and I died as well.

I’M TOTALLY SAYING THAT MELANIA KNAUSS (ASSUMING THAT’S EVEN HER REAL MADIEN NAME) USED HER PRETTY TO OBTAIN A VISA!

I don’t root for Omarosa. I don’t root for Ben Carson. So I don’t root for everybody black.

Likeability goes to whether someone would tune into Mo’Nique’s special, résumé or not. Likeability is part of what puts asses in seats in a venue. It’s the reason celebrities have PR agents and accountants don’t: accountants don’t need image consultants to do their job. Melissa Leo has a best supporting Oscar. So does…

The problem with Mo’Nique is that she’s damaged her brand - which is why she doesn’t have the option, like superior comic Sykes, to keep it movin’ and head for another venue like Epix. Mo’Nique is known more for her beefs - and her ridiculous videos with her husband - than she is for her art. Does Viola do YouTube…

I read this first as “Damaged Trump and Melania are Holding Hands.”

Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill are perpetually on tour. Albums are loss leaders these days even for new acts nowadays.
